The problem it solves

When a build breaks, someone has to stop what they're doing, dig through logs, and figure out what went wrong before anyone can fix it. That troubleshooting time adds up, especially outside business hours.

Who it fits

Engineering and DevOps teams who want faster answers when a build fails.

How it works

  1. Triggers when a CI job fails
  2. Pulls the failure logs and pipeline details
  3. AI analyzes the logs and researches the likely cause
  4. AI proposes a fix based on your team's rules
  5. Sends a report to your Slack channel
What you get

Root causes explained the moment a build breaks

You get a plain-English explanation of why a build failed, sent straight to Slack the moment it happens.

What you get

A Slack message explaining why the build failed and what to do about it.

What you need

A GitLab account, an AI model API key, and a Slack workspace.

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.
