The problem it solves

Downtime you don't know about is downtime you can't fix, and customers notice a broken site long before you do if nobody is watching. Manually checking a site's status every so often just isn't realistic.

Who it fits

A small business or website owner who wants to know immediately if their site or service goes down.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks the status of your website or service
  2. It looks at the response code returned
  3. If the site responds normally, nothing happens
  4. If the site fails to respond correctly, an SMS alert is sent through Twilio
What you get

Downtime you hear about immediately

You get a text alert the instant your website or service stops responding, day or night.

What you get

A text message alerting you the moment your site or service goes down.

What you need

A Twilio account with SMS capability.

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.
