The problem it solves

You find out a server is down only after a customer complains or something breaks in production. Checking server status by hand throughout the day is not realistic for a busy team, so outages can go unnoticed for a while.

Who it fits

An IT or DevOps team responsible for keeping servers and services running.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks each server's status
  2. It connects to the server and reviews its health
  3. AI reviews the results and flags anything unusual
  4. If a server is down or slow, an email alert goes out immediately with the details
What you get

Outages your team hears about before customers do

You get an immediate email the moment a server goes down or starts slowing down, checked on a schedule you set.

What you get

An email alert with the server name, status, and time whenever a problem is detected.

What you need

Server access credentials, an Azure OpenAI subscription, and an email account for sending alerts.

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.
