AI AGENTS

Chat-Driven Incident Commander with Confirm-Before-Act

Responders type plain-English requests in the incident Slack channel; an agent maps each to a runbook step, restates the exact action it will take.

What it does

Gives the incident channel a conversational operator. A responder types "restart the payments worker" and the agent translates it into the precise runbook action, echoes back exactly what it will run, and acts only after the person confirms. It keeps a running log of every action in the channel.

When to use it

Use this during active incidents when the team is moving fast in Slack and wants to delegate mechanical steps without leaving the conversation — while guaranteeing every change is read back and confirmed before it happens.

How it works

  1. 1A message in the designated incident Slack channel triggers the agent.
  2. 2The agent interprets the request and matches it to a known runbook action.
  3. 3A logic gate restates the resolved command and asks the responder to reply "confirm".
  4. 4On confirmation, the agent executes the action via shell.
  5. 5If the request is ambiguous or has no matching runbook, it asks a clarifying question instead.
  6. 6It posts the command output and a timestamped entry to the channel log.
