Codereadr on WhatsApp: manage services with an AI agent
Flann turns Codereadr into something you can message. Ask on WhatsApp, by text or voice note, and Flann does the work in Codereadr for you. Small businesses often rely on one developer or an IT contractor who is busy elsewhere. Flann does not replace them. It gives you a way to check Codereadr yourself, understand what they are telling you and pass them the right details when something needs attention.
16 actions in Codereadr. 7 only look things up, and 9 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

Security warnings explained
Today
Late at night, a suspicious sign-in report lands in your inbox. Without context you cannot tell a real threat from a member of staff on holiday.
With Flann
“Got a suspicious sign-in warning. Is it real?”
Flann checks the sign-in details in Codereadr: where it came from, which account, and whether that person has signed in from there before. It gives you its reading and the reasons behind it.
What you stop doing: Warnings you could not interpret stop costing you sleep.
What changed this week
Today
Your developer ships changes regularly. You find out what changed when a customer mentions that a button has moved.
With Flann
“What did the team change on the app this week?”
Flann reads the recent changes recorded in Codereadr and turns them into a short list in everyday language, pointing out anything customers will notice. This is read-only.
What you stop doing: You are no longer the last to know what changed in your own product.
