We made an open-source AI agent to help you during your on-call shifts
Hey guys, We’re excited to introduce to you what we’ve been working on for the past few months. We are two co-founders and we’ve both experienced on-call shifts where we felt unprepared, the relevant people weren’t around to help or we were left in the middle of the night trying to figure out what went wrong.

HelplyFeb 2026 · helply.com · ▲328Hey everyone, I’m the head of engineering at GrooveHQ. We’ve spent the last 10+ years building customer support tools, and today we’re launching Helply.

An open source alternative to some of Slack AI's premium features2024 · github.com · ▲76The official Slack AI product looks great, but with limited access and add-on pricing, I decided to open-source the version I built.
