The problem it solves

If your automated processes break or get accidentally changed, you have no easy way to restore them and end up rebuilding from memory. Meanwhile, old backup files quietly pile up and eat storage space until someone finally notices.

Who it fits

A business owner or operations manager who relies on automated workflows and wants peace of mind that they're safely backed up.

How it works

  1. On a daily schedule, the system checks Google Drive for old backup folders and removes them based on how many you want to keep
  2. It creates a new, dated folder for today's backup
  3. It pulls a full list of your current automated workflows
  4. Each workflow is saved as a file and uploaded into the new folder
  5. You end up with a clean, dated archive of your automations in Google Drive
What you get

Workflows you know are safely archived

Your automated workflows get backed up to a dated folder in Google Drive every day, with old backups cleared out automatically.

What you get

A dated folder in Google Drive holding a full backup of your automated workflows, with old backups cleared out automatically.

What you need

A Google Drive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
