How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Writing AWS access permissions by hand is slow and easy to get wrong, and one mistake can open up security holes or lock people out of tools they need. Your IT team ends up spending time on repetitive policy requests instead of higher value work.

Who it fits

IT, DevOps, or security teams that manage AWS access for their company.

How it works

  1. Someone describes the access they need in a chat message
  2. An AI assistant turns that request into a proper AWS IAM policy
  3. The policy is created directly in AWS
  4. An email is sent confirming the new policy and its details
What you get

Policy drafts ready for a security sign-off

Get AWS IAM policy requests turned into ready-to-review drafts the moment your team asks for them.

What you get

A new AWS IAM policy plus an email confirmation with its details.

What you need

An AWS account, an OpenAI API key, and an email account.

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.
