Every week, another article promises that AI agents will fix your operations. Most of them describe platforms with enterprise pricing. This is the opposite: a small, boring, useful tool that drafts incident postmortems from a plain timeline, built on a free model and a free server. It cost $0, took one weekend, and now turns a blank page into an editable draft in about two minutes.
The problem
Every on-call rotation ends the same way. You resolve the alert at 2 AM, and someone says "we should write a postmortem." Then the week starts, the backlog grows, and the postmortem becomes a guilt trip instead of a learning tool.
The real blocker is not laziness. It is the blank page. A postmortem needs a summary, a timeline, hypotheses, and action items — and you have to reconstruct all of it from memory and scattered chat logs. That takes 45 minutes on a good day.
I wanted a first draft. Not the truth, not the final verdict. Just a structured starting point I could correct and sign.
