# Autepair

*/Startups/Autepair*

## Startup Overview

This autonomous reliability engine connects directly to production environments to resolve software incidents the moment they occur. By ingesting stack traces from failed processes, the system instantly generates, verifies, and deploys patch code without human intervention.

Engineering and DevOps teams burn countless hours triaging midnight alerts, parsing logs, and writing routine fixes to keep distributed systems online. When a production exception fires, traditional incident workflows focus entirely on escalating notifications, leaving the actual debugging and code remediation to fatigued on-call developers.

Existing alternatives like PagerDuty Automation and Datadog Incident Management function primarily as advanced paging routers, while Shoreline relies on rigid, pre-configured runbooks. This solution abandons alert routing entirely in favor of fully autonomous, code-level remediation. Delivered on an outcome-priced model, it effectively replaces outsourced L1 support by charging only for successfully deployed patches, allowing engineering teams to ship features rather than manage continuous triage.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that ingests stack traces to generate and deploy verified patch code

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting mid-market engineering teams to reduce MTTR from hours to under 5 minutes for recurring runtime errors.
- Aiming to successfully auto-resolve up to 30% of L1 production alerts without human intervention.
- Designing for zero-regression patch deployment validated strictly against the buyer's existing test coverage.
**Tiers**:
- Name: On-Demand Remediation · Price: ~$40–$80 per verified patch deployed · Inclusions: Automated ingestion of stack traces, root cause analysis, and test-verified pull request generation, billed only when a patch successfully passes existing CI/CD pipelines.
- Name: Volume Automation · Price: ~$2,500–$5,000/mo minimum commitment at ~$15–$25 per verified patch · Inclusions: High-volume autonomous remediation across unlimited repositories, including designed integrations for custom CI/CD workflows and dedicated rollback policies.
**Guarantee**: Autepair bills exclusively for successfully merged and verified patches; if a generated patch fails your pre-configured CI test suite or causes a registered downstream regression within 24 hours, the transaction is voided and you are not charged.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- AI will break our production environment with hallucinated code. -> Autepair is designed to merge patches only if they pass your existing CI/CD test suite; if tests fail, it halts deployment and creates a draft PR for manual review.
- We have complex microservices; a raw stack trace isn't enough context. -> The system is built to trace stack errors directly against your Git history to isolate the specific commit and repository that introduced the fault.
- How do we control what the AI is allowed to deploy automatically? -> You configure strict repository-level permissions, specifying which non-critical services allow auto-deployment and which mandate human PR approval.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 14-day scoped pilot on a staging microservice to demonstrate automated PR generation, aiming to successfully resolve 10 synthetic runtime errors while strictly respecting repository-level permissions.
- A 30-day production pilot monitoring a specific non-critical repository's L1 alerts, targeting a 20% autonomous patch merge rate with zero triggered rollbacks.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 30% auto-resolution rate for L1 production alerts.
- Target: MTTR reduction from 4 hours to under 5 minutes for recurring runtime errors.
- Aim: 0 downstream regressions registered within 24 hours of autonomous patch deployment.
- Aim: 100% CI/CD pass rate for all automatically merged pull requests.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market SaaS engineering team managing high-volume L1 runtime errors. Target transformation: Automates triage and PR generation to successfully resolve 30% of recurring runtime exceptions without human intervention.
- Fintech platform operating a complex microservice architecture. Target transformation: Traces cross-service stack errors directly to specific Git commits, generating precise fixes isolated to the correct repository.
- Consumer mobile app backend team facing slow mean time to resolution (MTTR). Target transformation: Reduces MTTR for routine exception handling from hours to under 5 minutes by auto-deploying test-verified patches.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- VP of Engineering stating that senior developers no longer waste sprint capacity triaging routine stack traces and instead focus entirely on core feature development.
- Lead DevOps Engineer expressing total confidence in the deployment process because the system strictly halts and drafts a manual PR if a generated patch fails existing CI/CD test coverage.
- Site Reliability Engineer noting that the Git history tracing capability isolates faults and generates fixes faster than a human SRE can parse the logs.

## Startup Top Risks

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be an architect of resilient systems, not a 24/7 on-call firefighter
- **Want**: to resolve production runtime errors in under five minutes
- **Identity**: the site reliability engineer at a mid-market software company
**Plan**:
- Step: Select services · Detail: Define which non-critical repositories allow autonomous deployment and which require a manual PR approval step.
- Step: Audit traces · Detail: Review the automated root-cause analysis and the test-verified patch code generated for every incoming production incident.
- Step: Monitor resolution · Detail: Watch the system deploy verified fixes directly to production while your MTTR drops to under five minutes.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: You shouldn't still be waking up at 3 AM for preventable runtime errors. PagerDuty Automation wasn't built to actually write and deploy the fix code for you.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: alert fatigue
- **External**: SREs spend hours manually tracing PagerDuty alerts back to Git commits and drafting repetitive patches for known stack traces
- **Internal**: you feel like a human bridge between broken logs and the terminal
- **Philosophical**: Every engineer deserves a life outside the pager — not a career spent patching the same recurring null-pointer exceptions.
**Success**: Production incidents resolve themselves autonomously, with verified patches merged and deployed before your team even opens the alert.
**One Liner**: Manual incident response costs engineering teams hours of downtime. Autepair deploys test-verified patch code autonomously so your team stops firefighting and stays focused on building.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: resolve 30% of production alerts without human intervention
- **Unlike**: PagerDuty Automation and manual L1 support
- **For Whom**: mid-market site reliability engineering teams
- **Category**: Autonomous Incident Remediation
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Submit a repository
- **Transitional**: View sample patch logs
**Failure Stakes**:
- Compounding technical debt
- Engineering team burnout
- SLA breach penalties
**Transformation**:
- **To**: the engineer who automates the entire remediation lifecycle
- **From**: the SRE buried in Datadog alerts and manual hotfixes
**Controlling Idea**: Autonomous code remediation should replace manual incident response for common production failures.
