## Source excerpt

The "Build on incident.io" contest challenged developers to showcase the platform in the "coolest, weirdest ways" possible, with a MacBook Pro as the prize. Five finalists submitted creative projects including schedule conflict detection, voice-controlled Alexa integration, service health correlation analysis, and advanced monitoring dashboards. The winner was WARP - a Severance-inspired Slack bot that sends "mandatory wellness interventions" to incident responders through interpretive dance emojis, addressing burnout with the show's dystopian corporate wellness aesthetic.
