Turn incident alerts into clear, contextual Slack updates

When an incident is created, this pulls context and posts a clear summary to your on-call Slack channel.

The problem it solves

When something breaks, your on-call team wastes precious minutes hunting down who owns the affected service, what changed recently, and what else might be involved. That delay makes every incident take longer to resolve.

Who it fits

Engineering and DevOps teams managing on-call incident response.

How it works

  1. A new or updated incident triggers the automation
  2. It gathers context on the affected service, owners, on-call, recent deployments, and related code changes
  3. AI writes a clear summary covering the problem, impact, and what to do next
  4. The summary is posted to your incident Slack channel
What you get

Context your team sees at a glance

The moment an incident happens, your on-call channel gets a clear summary covering the problem, its impact, who owns it, and what to do next.

What you get

A structured incident summary posted to Slack with the context your team needs to respond.

What you need

A PagerDuty account, a Port.io account, 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.

Limit your Slack AI assistant's tools by employee role

Checks each Slack user's role before letting an AI assistant use tools like PagerDuty or AWS, so people only get access they're allowed.

Advanced

Automate incident response from PagerDuty alert to Jira ticket

When PagerDuty flags an incident, the system creates a Jira ticket, alerts Slack, and tracks resolution time.

Advanced

Scan for security threats every 15 minutes and alert your team fast

Every 15 minutes, AI checks logs and threat feeds for risks and alerts your security team before they escalate.

Advanced

Automatically escalate service tickets that are about to breach SLA

Tickets close to breaking their SLA get flagged and escalated to Slack, Teams, or an on-call engineer automatically.
