Vote: should I open-source the autopilot that runs my company?

[Mahmoudz]

Short version: I run my company Sista on an autonomous system, the "autopilot" this book describes. It watches the product and the business, fixes what is safe on its own, and pulls me in only for the calls that genuinely need a human. I am oversight, not operator. I want to know if I should extract it, make it generic, and give it away.

What it is

The book (the Automate part) teaches you to build your own version, and that is the recommended path: you learn exactly how it works and it fits how you build. But assembling it from scratch is real work. This would be the ready-made one: install it, adapt it, and let it grow with you, instead of building every piece by hand.

Where it actually stands

This is not vaporware. It runs my company in production today, right now. To hand it to you I have to pull it out of Sista, strip the parts that are specific to me, make it generic and documented, and stand behind it. That is a real project on its own, so I am measuring interest before I commit the time.

What I need from you (30 seconds)

• 👍 Upvote this post if you would use it. That is your vote, and it is what decides whether I prioritize it.
• 💬 Comment with three things:
  1. what you would run it for (your product, company, or side project),
  2. the work you do by hand today that you wish just ran itself,
  3. the one thing that would make it a definite yes for you.

Enough real interest and I move it up the list. Every comment shapes what I build first.
