Someone make an #AI/Copilot tool to auto-analyze the stack traces + git history for our errors/alarms, summarize the inferred problem, summarize a proposed solution, and post a draft PR. K thanks.

You'll make a zillion dollars

“No amount of sharing rage at the state of the world can make us happy. But any amount of sharing love with someone who needs it may help us find the happiness we seek.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

This is one of the most interesting free school lunch papers - when districts implement universal free school lunch, it puts competitive pressure on grocery stores, resulting in lower food prices for *everyone* even if they don't directly benefit from school lunches

There are 100 Slack bots that try to auto-answer Slack questions based on #documentation + #AI... But where are the tools that autogenerate (and update) #documentation based on organic Slack Q&A? This seems more valuable, and is a precursor to doing the former well.
