The problem it solves

If you rely on automations to run parts of your business, losing them to an accidental deletion or account issue can bring things to a halt. Remembering to manually export and save copies is easy to forget.

Who it fits

Business owners or operations teams who depend on automated workflows and want a safety net.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks all your existing automations
  2. It creates a new dated folder in Google Drive
  3. Each automation is saved as its own file
  4. The files are uploaded to that folder for safekeeping

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.
