How this service works
Network, docs, image, web, and dev utility tools paid per call via x402. No signup, no API keys, no subscriptions — just USDC on Base.

Example use cases
Debugging a confusing cron job
“I have a cron job set to '30 4 1,15 * *' and I have no idea when it actually fires — can you explain it in plain English?”
Verifying a scheduled deployment schedule
“We set our deployment pipeline to run on '0 2 * * 0' — can you confirm what that means in human-readable terms so I can share it with the team?”
Understanding a cron expression from legacy code
“There's this old cron entry in our codebase: '*/15 8-18 * * 1-5' — can you tell me exactly when and how often it triggers?”
