The problem it solves

You find out your website is down when a customer complains, not before. By then you've already lost visitors, and possibly sales, without knowing anything was wrong.

Who it fits

Business owners, agencies, or IT teams responsible for keeping a website or client site online.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the automation checks whether your website responds
  2. It looks at the response to see if the site loaded successfully
  3. If the site returns an error or doesn't load, it sends an alert to Slack
  4. The alert includes the website address and the error it found
What you get

What you get

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.
