Incident status page drafts with approval
A support specialist describes an issue in a short form; AI writes the status page message using your templates and rules, posts it to Slack for approval, and a webhook publishes the approved text.

Maturity ladder
What each level adds. Most teams start at level 1 or 2 and climb. Highlighted: where this build sits.
- Level 1Basic automation
Trigger: issue described in a form. Fixed rules then slack approval, publish to status page, optional: notify affected accounts. No AI involved.
- Level 2AI-assisted
An LLM handles the judgement step (draft update from templates) and a person reviews every output before it is used.
- Level 3Autonomous agent
The agent runs end to end on its own and only stops for exceptions. Approval is mandatory.
- Level 4Self-learning system
Outcomes and human corrections are logged and fed back into prompts and rules on a schedule, so accuracy improves with use.
