The problem it solves

When a new version ships, half your team finds out by accident and the other half doesn't find out at all. Manually announcing every release is one more thing to remember on launch day.

Who it fits

A software or product team that wants everyone automatically informed the moment a release goes live.

How it works

  1. A new release is published in your GitHub repository
  2. The system detects the release event
  3. It gathers the release details and link
  4. It posts a message in your Slack channel with the release details
What you get

Your team informed the instant you ship

You get a Slack message posted the instant a new software release goes live, with all the release details included.

What you get

An automatic Slack announcement for every new release, with details and a link.

What you need

A GitHub account and a Slack workspace.

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.
