Aren't you concerned with IR or ITSM tools (ala ServiceNow) just copying your patterns and adding it to their existing Slack Apps? Slack already has public demos with pretty much the same pattern you've adopted.

Have you got a bigger end-goal, because this is trivial to copy well. You need a moat, or you need to seek acquisition quick.

My thought as well. Their opening statement talks about Pagerduty handing off incident response to Rootly. Well, Pagerduty can just launch an incident response platform and now you're out of business.

PagerDuty legitimately have this flow on their YouTube demo from March last year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEZCZG8y1eY

Surely there's more to it if they got YC funded?
