Use Case

Incident comms with structured timeline + open risks + owner gaps.

These pages exist for real buying and rollout decisions, not generic demo traffic. Each one states the pain, the workflow, the outputs, the commercial fit, and the self-host versus Cloud tradeoff explicitly.

Pain

Incident channels move faster than post-incident reporting. Teams lose time in status rewrites, handoffs, and executive updates.

Workflow

Define an incident_room workflow profile with your incident channels and on-call rotation. The AI brain returns structured JSON the next responder can pick up cold.

Signals this page is relevant

  • Status updates are being manually rewritten from the same Slack threads
  • Handoffs between responders or time zones are error-prone
  • Leadership visibility depends on someone translating the channel in real time

Repeatable workflow steps

  • Read the live incident channel and any linked support or engineering threads.
  • Generate a current-state summary and extract decisions or commitments.
  • Produce a handoff note for the next responder or stakeholder update cycle.

Named outputs

  • Incident status summary
  • Decision log
  • Responder handoff note
  • Workflow profile: incident_room
  • Structured JSON return: incident_room structured JSON: {incident_summary, timeline, open_risks, owner_gaps, next_actions}
  • Claude-first, Gemini CLI supported

What good looks like

  • A new responder can pick up the incident without replaying the full thread.
  • Status updates stay consistent across engineering and stakeholder audiences.
  • Reliability expectations are scoped before the workflow becomes mission-critical.

Prompt starter

Use this as the initial request in Claude or Gemini CLI after the endpoint is connected.

Run slack_catch_me_up against my incident_room profile and return the structured JSON for the next responder.

Anonymized example output

Summary: current state compressed for the next operator. Action items: owner + deadline when available. Decisions: commitments already made in Slack. Handoff: what the next person needs before they open the raw channel.

Plan fit

Team at $49/mo flat is the default fit when 2-10 responders share the incident path. Ops engagement is the fit when SLA, custom retention, or multi-tenant isolation become operating requirements.

Self-host vs Cloud

Self-host when incident tooling already has an internal owner and you only need the workflow profile primitives. Use hosted when smart_search across incident history + scheduled DM matter more.

Premium fit

Team at $49/mo flat covers 2-10 person on-call rotations. Ops engagement (from $199/mo, custom) is the fit when SLA, custom retention windows, SOC2 evidence, or multi-tenant isolation become hard requirements.

Trust and buyer review

  • Use /status for the live hosted status contract.
  • Use the Ops engagement page for SLA, custom retention, or SOC2 questions.
  • Use the security page for buyer-facing controls, storage, and analytics disclosure.
  • Use official vs managed when the team is still deciding between Slack's official path and the managed commercial path.
