The problem it solves

Your team misses important bug reports and issue updates because GitHub notifications get buried in email. You end up finding out about a critical issue days after it was filed.

Who it fits

Development and DevOps teams who need to see new GitHub issues without checking the repository manually.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the system checks a GitHub repository for new or updated issues
  2. It filters for the issues that matter, like open or newly created ones
  3. The issue title, number, and status are pulled out and formatted
  4. A message is sent to your team's chat app with the details and a link
What you get

New issues you see right away

You get GitHub issues delivered straight to your team chat as they happen, so everyone stays aware of new work without opening the repository.

What you get

A running stream of issue alerts in your team chat, with title, status, and a direct link.

What you need

A GitHub account and a connected messaging app for your team.

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.
