Read full description

Hotline is a fail-safe monitor for AI agents and automated bots. If your bot stops sending heartbeats, Hotline detects the silence and fires a critical push notification straight to your phone. HOW IT WORKS Add your bot's unique ID and configuration. Have your bot send periodic heartbeat pings to our secure endpoint. If the bot goes silent, Hotline alerts you immediately via high-priority notification. KEY FEATURES Active Monitoring: Automatically detects when your bot stops responding. Instant Push Alerts: Critical notifications ensure you never miss a failure. Emergency Stop: One-tap command to send a stop signal to your bot. Real-Time Logs: View status, warning, and event logs in a live feed. Simple Integration: Connect any bot in minutes with a single HTTP POST request. Privacy First: No personal data collected — we only use device tokens for routing alerts. BUILT FOR AI agent operators (Virtuals, AutoGPT, CrewAI, etc.) Automated trading systems Server and daemon monitoring Any critical process that should never silently fail. Hotline doesn't run your bot. It watches your bot — and tells you the second something goes wrong.
