Instatus, worked by an AI employee
Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Instatus account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Instatus is
Instatus is a status page and incident communication platform for managing service health, incidents, maintenance, monitors, and subscribers.
You paste in a key from your own Instatus account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Instatus whenever you like.
One message in, the work done in Instatus.
- 01
You ask
You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.
- 02
It works out the step
It decides what the job needs in Instatus. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.
- 03
It does the work
Signed in to your own Instatus account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.
- 04
It reports back
It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

You stay the boss of your Instatus account.
Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.
How we handle your data- It signs in to your own Instatus account. You are not moving anything into ours.
- You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.

- Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
It works in Instatus and the rest of your software in the same job
A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.
