How it works

Fits into your existing incident workflow

STEP 1

Error appears in Slack

From Sentry, Datadog, or your monitoring tool

STEP 2

Team discusses in thread

Engineers start investigating as usual

STEP 3

Incident Owl adds analysis

Reads stack trace, checks code, suggests cause

STEP 4

Engineer decides next step

Accept suggestion, ask questions, or ignore

What it does

Less time reading logs, more time fixing

Provides initial analysis

Faster incident triage

When an error appears in Slack, Incident Owl reads the stack trace and adds context from your codebase.

It posts a suggested root cause in the thread so your team starts with a hypothesis instead of digging through logs manually.

Uses your infrastructure context

Fewer generic suggestions

You configure Incident Owl once with your stack details: services, databases, dependencies.

It uses this context when analyzing errors, so suggestions reference your actual architecture instead of generic patterns.

Root Cause
Connection pool exhausted in payment-service.
Context I found:
πŸ“¦ payment-service (NestJS)
    └─ PostgreSQL: payments_db
    └─ Redis: session-cache
    └─ Depends on: user-service, stripe-api

πŸ”— Related: user-service had timeout 2 min ago
Suggested Fix
Increase pool size in config/database.ts:
typescript
// config/database.ts
poolSize: 20,  // was 10
idleTimeoutMs: 30000,
πŸ’‘ This service had 3 similar issues this month. Consider connection pooling middleware.

References past incidents

Builds incident history

Incident Owl tracks analyzed errors and how they were resolved.

When similar patterns appear, it shows links to previous incidents so engineers can see if this is a known issue or a recurring problem.

🎯 Pattern Detected
This is the 4th OOM error this week in image-processor service.
πŸ“Š History:
Mon 2:30 AM β€” OOM, restarted pod
Tue 4:15 AM β€” OOM, PR #823 (heap increase)
Thu 1:45 AM β€” OOM, PR #831 (streaming fix)
Sat 3:15 AM β€” OOM ← you are here
Previous fixes didn't solve it.
πŸ’‘ Recommendation:
Refactor to use chunked processing instead of loading full images into memory.

Optional PR creation

You decide what gets merged

If you want to use a suggested fix, click "Create PR" and Incident Owl drafts a pull request.

The PR goes through your normal review process. Nothing merges without approval. This is optionalβ€”most teams just use suggestions as a starting point.

Trust & Control

You stay in control

Suggestions, not actions

Incident Owl never applies changes to your code. It reads your codebase and posts analysis in Slack. You decide what to do next.

PRs are optional

Most teams use suggestions as context during debugging. The PR feature is there if you want it, but nothing forces you to use it.

No auto-merge

Pull requests created by Incident Owl go through your standard review process. Branch protection, required reviewers, CI checksβ€”all still apply.

Engineers stay responsible

This is an assistant, not a replacement. Your team makes decisions. Incident Owl helps with context and reduces manual log reading.

Workflow

Optional pull request workflow

If you want to use a suggestion, you can create a draft PR from Slack

1. Error appears
In your incident Slack channel
2. Analysis posted
Incident Owl suggests cause and fix
3. Create PR (optional)
If you agree with the suggestion
4. Review and merge
PR goes through normal review

Good Fit Check

Is this right for your team?

This is for you if:

  • βœ“ You use Slack for incident discussions
  • βœ“ You have Sentry, Datadog, or similar monitoring
  • βœ“ Your team spends time reading logs during incidents
  • βœ“ You want suggestions, not automation
  • βœ“ You're comfortable with AI reading code context
  • βœ“ You have a defined incident response process

This might not fit if:

  • βœ— You expect full auto-fix without human review
  • βœ— You don't use Slack for engineering work
  • βœ— You have strict code access restrictions
  • βœ— You want it to replace engineers
  • βœ— Your team has fewer than 5 incidents per month
  • βœ— You need on-premise deployment (Enterprise only)

Not sure? Start with the free tier. 100 incidents per month, no credit card. See if it fits your workflow.

FAQ

Questions?

One error analysis. If the same error appears multiple times, Incident Owl can deduplicate by default, or you can choose to analyze each occurrence separately.
No. Incident Owl only reads your code and posts suggestions in Slack. You decide whether to create a PR, and all PRs go through your normal review process.
Code context is analyzed in memory and not stored permanently. Only analysis results are saved for incident history. Enterprise plans support self-hosted deployment for stricter requirements.
Slack is required for bot interaction. GitHub or GitLab for code access. Sentry, Datadog, PagerDuty, or any webhook for error notifications.
You're not required to use suggestions. Treat them as a starting hypothesis. Most teams use Incident Owl to speed up triage, not as the final answer.
