BotBeacon - a small Windows widget that shows when each of your AI agents last actually worked

I kept losing track of which of my agents and scripts had quietly stopped, so I built a desktop widget for it. How it works: each agent writes a small status file, and BotBeacon reads those local files and shows everything in one widget. Errors pulse red so they're hard to miss An agent with no update for 10 min shows as stale, and after 2 h as offline Agents can report their last success, shown as "ok 12m ago" Idle tasks stay visible instead of disappearing Agents that only che

AI 分析

痛点:本地运行的 AI agent 和脚本在静默停止工作后,没有统一的监控入口被告知,运行者只能靠自己记忆逐个排查状态。

目标用户:在本地 Windows 机器上跑多个 AI agent、自动化脚本和定时任务的独立开发者、研究者与运维爱好者

证据:I kept losing track of which of my agents and scripts had quietly stopped, so I built a desktop widget for it. / Windows 10 (2004+) or 11, x64. $4.99, US only

变现:一次性买断 $4.99~9.99 的本地桌面工具;后续可推出 Pro 版(多机同步、Webhook、告警到 Discord/Telegram、历史趋势),或按年订阅 $19~29

MVP:2 周 MVP:做一个跨平台(Windows/macOS)托盘小窗,监听本地目录下的 JSON 状态文件(agent 名、last_success、error、timeout 可配置),用红/黄/绿状态卡片和过期计时展示;只做文件监听、托盘常驻、错误高亮和系统通知,不做账号与云同步

竞品:AgentOps、LangSmith、Healthchecks.io、Uptime Kuma、Grafana / Prometheus(自建)

摘要:作者把「多个本地 AI agent 静默挂掉无人知晓」的痛点做成 Windows 托盘小组件 BotBeacon,靠 agent 写本地状态文件来聚合展示,错误会红色闪烁,超时判定 stale/offline,已在微软商店以 $4.99 一次性买断(仅美国区)上架并公开征求反馈。帖子没有公布任何销量或收入数据,需求仍属单个开发者的自述,但对独立开发者而言这是一个低成本、可跨平台复制的细分监控工具机会。
