Stop waking up for noise.
Tailon reads your Sentry alerts, has an AI judge whether it's actually urgent, and only then emails you a summary, instead of forwarding every notification straight to you.
Built with tools you already trust
The same alert, two different nights
A scenario, not a promise -- this is what a noisy alert looks like with and without Tailon in the loop.
- 23:14A NullPointerException fires in Sentry.
- 23:14Sentry forwards it straight to your phone. It buzzes, you wake up.
- 23:21Turns out to be a one-off retry, not urgent. Back to bed, wide awake.
- tomorrowSame thing, different exception.
- 23:14The same alert reaches Tailon's webhook.
- 23:14The AI classifies it: noise. No likely user impact.
- 23:14No email sent. You keep sleeping.
- 07:30You skim the summary over coffee. Nothing urgent happened.
Whitelist-only Only title, error level, culprit, and stacktrace summary. The rest of the payload never touches our system.
No code access One webhook connection in Sentry. No SDK to install, no access to your repository.
Conservative When in doubt, Tailon always rounds urgency up. Better one email too many than one missed incident.
Solo project Built and maintained by one developer, in the open, with no support team behind it.
Paste a generated webhook URL into a Sentry Internal Integration. No SDKs, no code changes.
An LLM classifies it: noise, worth a look, or urgent, with a likely cause attached.
An email for urgent incidents. Everything else waits quietly until you have time.
One integration. 200+ models.
Tailon runs on OpenRouter, with no lock-in to a single model provider: access to every leading AI model through one API.
Sentry has this too, just not like this
Sentry's own AI triage already exists. Tailon is for those who don't want to (or can't) pay for it.
| Sentry Enhanced Priority | Tailon | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Business plan only: $80/month | One small monthly plan, no expensive Business upgrade |
| Code access | Autofix requires access to your repository | Just a webhook, no code access |
| Scope | Part of a larger platform | One thing: judging whether an alert deserves your attention |
Same category, different bill
Monthly cost for AI-triaged Sentry alerts.Who is Tailon for?
Built for people who are on-call themselves, without a team around them.
You're the entire on-call rotation. No time to manually triage every alert.
Too small for a dedicated SRE team, too big to read every notification yourself.
AI triage without the expensive upgrade to Sentry's Business plan.
Just a webhook, no SDK, no AI that needs to look inside your repository.

Why Your Team Ignores Most Sentry Alerts
Alert fatigue is real. When every Sentry notification looks equally urgent, engineers tune out all of them, including the one that matters. Here is why that happens and what actually helps.

Turning off notifications is not the answer, you will miss the one that mattered. A practical look at what actually cuts the noise while keeping the signal.
On Call Without A NOC: How Small Dev Teams Actually Survive Incidents
Most on call advice assumes you already have a dedicated ops team. Indie developers and small teams do not. Here is what on call realistically looks like when there are only a handful of you.
