The problem it solves

When new media finishes processing, you have to manually check your library to know what's new. There's no easy way for your whole team to see updates without logging in and looking themselves.

Who it fits

Media library managers or small teams running a shared movie and TV collection.

How it works

  1. A new movie or episode finishes importing
  2. The system detects whether it came from the movie or TV tool
  3. Details like quality, size, and genre are extracted
  4. A formatted alert is built
  5. The alert is posted to the team chat channel
What you get

New episodes announced the moment they land

Your team gets a nicely formatted alert in chat as soon as a new movie or episode finishes downloading.

What you get

A formatted notification in the team chat with details about the newly added movie or episode.

What you need

Radarr and/or Sonarr accounts and a Stoat chat channel.

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.
