The problem it solves

If your automations live in only one place and something gets deleted or corrupted, you have no way to get that work back. You want a history of changes and a backup you can trust without remembering to export files yourself.

Who it fits

Operations or IT teams responsible for maintaining business automations who need version history and disaster recovery.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule to check all your existing automations
  2. Compares each one against what's already stored in GitHub
  3. Creates a new file for any automation that's new
  4. Updates the file for any automation that has changed
  5. Leaves unchanged automations alone
What you get

Workflow history you can restore instantly

You get a complete, always-current backup of every automation workflow, safely versioned in GitHub as soon as anything changes.

What you get

An up-to-date GitHub repository containing a backup of every automation, with full version history.

What you need

A GitHub account and access to your automation platform.

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.
