Tickstem

This is an infrastructure API that bundles essential operational primitives for autonomous AI agents, including scheduling, heartbeat monitoring, uptime checks, dependency monitoring, email verification, and spend control, solving the problem of managing multiple services separately. It targets developers and operations teams building and running AI agents in production, from startups to enterprises. It is delivered as a unified API with SDKs for Go, Node.js, and Python, and an MCP server for AI coding assistants, with a free tier and usage-based pricing.
