Automatically triage incidents and enforce response time limits

AI reviews each incident, assigns a severity level, and makes sure the right people respond in time.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; a person is alerted when a step fails.

The problem it solves

When an incident comes in, you can't always tell right away if it's truly urgent or just noise, and by the time someone realizes it's serious, precious minutes are gone. Keeping track of who acknowledged what and whether anyone missed a deadline is another job on its own.

Who it fits

An IT or operations team responsible for responding to incidents under time pressure.

How it works

  1. An incident report comes in through a request
  2. AI checks it against your known issues and assigns a severity level
  3. A second AI step builds a response plan with next steps and who to notify
  4. Depending on severity, the right people are alerted and a response deadline starts
  5. If no one responds in time, it automatically escalates and logs everything to a spreadsheet
What you get

Incidents caught and escalated before they spiral

You get every incident sized up instantly with a response plan and the right people alerted before deadlines slip.

What you get

A prioritized incident with an action plan, timed alerts to the right people, and a full log for review afterward.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Slack workspace, and Gemini and Groq API keys.

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.
