Short answer

How can I manage AppVeyor builds with my AI?

You can check the status of recent builds, restart failed processes, or kill active deployments immediately. This gives you direct control over your pipeline without leaving your chat interface.

Pipeline outcomes.

What you can do.

Your AI handles the API calls so you can focus on the code.

STATUS

Track build progress

The AI checks the latest build status for your project. You'll know exactly if your recent push passed or failed.

RECOVERY

Restart failed runs

If a build fails, tell your AI to try again. It triggers a rerun of the process for you.

CONTROL

Kill active builds

You can stop a running build or deployment instantly. The AI sends the cancellation command to AppVeyor immediately.

HUMAN

Fixing the code

The AI can't fix your broken logic or edit your configuration files. You still need to handle the actual debugging yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

Your AI acts as the interface between your chat and the AppVeyor engine.

  1. Check status

    The AI looks up the most recent build activity for your project.

    get_project_last_build

  2. Trigger reruns

    When a process fails, the AI can start a new attempt of that specific build.

    rerun_build

  3. Launch tasks

    You can tell your AI to start a new build or a deployment sequence.

    start_buildstart_deployment

  4. Stop processes

    The AI can terminate a build or a deployment that is currently running.

    cancel_buildcancel_deployment
