Agent Stuck Pager
When a remote coding agent stalls, page the human and unblock it in one message
- Problem
- More teams now ship PRs written by coding agents on remote hosts, but agents lacking product context guess too much, producing off-target PRs that cost more to fix than writing from scratch. Nobody can watch agents all day, and by the time a stall is noticed, significant tokens and time are already gone.
- Solution
- Attach a lightweight channel to the coding agent: when it hits a product decision, a permission need, or an ambiguous requirement, it pushes a context-rich question to the developer's phone or chat tool. One sentence reply lets the agent continue with the answer instead of quietly guessing.
- Users
- Engineering teams using Claude Code-style agents for PRs, solo developers, and teams wiring coding agents into CI
- MVP
- An ask endpoint the agent can call; push to Telegram or Slack with inline reply; include a minimal context pack with current task, relevant files, and attempts so far; auto-alert when stalled past a threshold; Q&A channel only, not a full IDE
- Revenue
- Per-seat monthly subscription for teams; free tier capped on monthly questions; paid self-hosted edition
- Why now
- Coding agents are shifting from autocomplete to actual PR authors, yet the async human-in-the-loop channel is nearly empty; the build is a message bridge plus a small protocol that a solo developer can ship in days
