Your postmortems,
written before the
coffee gets cold.

Recon watches Datadog, Sentry, PagerDuty, and Slack during outages and auto-drafts a polished postmortem with root-cause analysis, timeline, and action items. In minutes, not hours.

How It Works

Three steps from outage to postmortem

No manual note-taking. No chasing engineers for context. Recon does the busywork so your team can focus on fixing things.

01
☍

Connect your tools

Plug in Datadog, Sentry, PagerDuty, and Slack. OAuth tokens, 5-minute setup, read-only access. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.

02
⚠

Incident detected

When an incident fires, Recon starts listening. It captures alerts, error spikes, metric anomalies, and Slack threads in real-time.

03
✎

Postmortem drafted

Minutes after resolution, you get a complete draft: chronological timeline, root-cause analysis, contributing factors, and prioritized action items.

Integrations

Plugs into the tools your team already runs

Recon reads from your observability stack. No agents to install, no code to instrument.

Datadog

Metrics, APM traces, anomaly detection

Sentry

Error spikes, stack traces, release correlation

PagerDuty

Alert timelines, responder tracking, severity

Slack

Thread capture, decision tracking, context

More integrations coming: OpsGenie, Grafana, Jira, Linear, GitHub

Why Recon

Postmortems shouldn't take longer than the incident

Without Recon

3-5 hours of busywork

  • ✗ Chase 4 engineers for their recollection
  • ✗ Scroll through 200+ Slack messages
  • ✗ Manually cross-reference Datadog dashboards
  • ✗ Write the doc 2 weeks later from memory
  • ✗ Action items that never get tracked
With Recon

Polished draft in 5 minutes

  • ✓ Automatic timeline from all signal sources
  • ✓ Root-cause analysis with supporting evidence
  • ✓ Contributing factors identified across systems
  • ✓ Action items linked to teams and owners
  • ✓ Ready to review before the retro meeting
The Output

A postmortem your VP of Engineering would actually read

Every draft follows your org's template. Clean, structured, evidence-backed.

🕑

Incident Timeline

Minute-by-minute chronology built from alerts, deploys, Slack threads, and metric changes. No gaps, no guessing.

🔎

Root Cause Analysis

What broke, why it broke, and the chain of events that led there. Backed by actual data from your observability stack.

⚡

Action Items

Prioritized follow-ups with suggested owners. Ready to drop into Jira or Linear. No more "we should probably fix that" limbo.

Questions

How does Recon access my data?
OAuth integrations with read-only scopes. Recon pulls alerts, metrics metadata, and Slack thread content during active incidents. Your raw logs and application data stay in your infrastructure.
Can I customize the postmortem template?
Yes. Bring your own template or use our defaults (based on Google's SRE book format). Recon adapts its output to match your org's structure and terminology.
What if the AI gets the root cause wrong?
Recon generates a draft, not a final document. Every claim is linked to its source data so you can verify and edit. Think of it as a very thorough first draft that saves you 80% of the work.
Is my incident data used to train models?
No. Your data is processed per-incident and not used for training. We use foundation models via API with data processing agreements. Enterprise plans include options for your own model hosting.
What size teams is this for?
Teams running 2+ incidents per month who have Datadog or Sentry and use Slack for incident communication. That typically means 20-500 engineer orgs, but we've seen it work from 5-person startups to Fortune 500 SRE teams.
Is it free?
Free during beta. We'll introduce paid plans when we launch, but early access users get a generous grandfather clause. Join the waitlist to lock it in.
