Connect Gitea to WhatsApp: gitignore templates by chat
Flann is an AI agent your business talks to on WhatsApp. Connect Gitea once, then ask Flann to look things up in it or get work done in it, by text or voice note. Gitea speaks a technical language. Flann translates. Ask whether the site is up, why an alert fired or what changed this week, and you get a plain answer drawn straight from Gitea.
24 actions in Gitea. All of them only look things up, so nothing in Gitea is ever changed. You connect with your API key.

Repetitive Gitea work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Who still has access
Today
Staff come and go, and old logins linger. Checking who can still get into which system is a job nobody wants.
With Flann
“Does Ana still have an account in Gitea? She left last month.”
Flann looks up Ana in Gitea and tells you exactly what access she still has. Want it removed?
What you stop doing: Closing the door behind people who left no longer depends on memory.
Fridge and sensor check-ins
Today
Fridges, sensors and connected equipment report into Gitea, but nobody looks unless something has already spoiled.
With Flann
“Are the fridges and freezers all at the right temperature?”
Flann reads the latest readings from Gitea and tells you whether anything sits outside its normal range. A unit that has been drifting is named, with how long it has been drifting.
What you stop doing: Walking round checking displays just to feel sure is no longer needed.
