The problem it solves

You've built out automations that run parts of your business behind the scenes, and losing them would mean rebuilding everything from scratch. Manually exporting and saving backups is easy to forget, and nobody wants a repository cluttered with redundant saves.

Who it fits

A business or technical team that relies on automated workflows and wants a safety net without manual upkeep.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks your current automation setup
  2. It compares a fingerprint of the current state against the last backup
  3. If anything changed, it exports the latest version
  4. The updated files are committed to your GitHub repository automatically
What you get

Workflow configurations backed up before anything goes wrong

Your automation setups get backed up to GitHub automatically any time something changes, with nothing to remember.

What you get

A version-controlled backup of your automation setup on GitHub, updated only when something changes.

What you need

A GitHub account and access to your automation server.

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.
