INCIDENT REPORT // FILED IN ADVANCE
On August 26, your AI assistant stops answering.
OpenAI is permanently shutting down the Assistants API. Every call to /v1/assistants, /v1/threads and /v1/runs fails — and every Zapier Zap built on ChatGPT Assistants steps stops the same day. Not degraded. Dark.
GUARANTEE If the audit finds zero exposure, you pay nothing — full refund.
DEPRECATION SCHEDULE — OFFICIAL, NOT RUMOR

You're exposed if any of these is true
- [ ✕ ] A freelancer or agency built you a "custom GPT chatbot" in 2023–2025 and you haven't touched the code since.
- [ ✕ ] Your Zapier account has Zaps using ChatGPT (Assistants) steps — lead replies, support triage, content pipelines.
- [ ✕ ] You built client workflows in Agent Builder (launched Nov 2025, killed within a year).
- [ ✕ ] Your codebase contains openai.beta.assistants or openai.beta.threads anywhere.
If you don't know — that's exactly what the audit answers, in writing, within 48 hours.
PROOF — NOT A TEMPLATE
See a real audit before you pay for one.
Here's an actual Break-Check Audit run against a real open-source chatbot platform built on the Assistants API. Nine doomed call sites across five files, conversation history at risk in the database, a migration map, and a fixed quote — exactly what you receive, in your inbox, within 48 hours.

WHO YOU'RE WORKING WITH
Imran & a small migration team
I lead the engagement — scoping and de-risking the migration, the part where most projects go wrong — backed by a small team of developers, architects and analysts who do the code work. You deal with one point of contact (me), not a ticket queue.
This shutdown is a clean, bounded problem: a fixed set of retired endpoints, a known replacement, a hard date. We read your code or your Zaps, tell you in plain language what breaks and when, and hand you a fixed price to fix it — with a parity test log and handover docs your next developer will thank you for. Modern AI-assisted tooling is part of how we turn a 48-hour audit around reliably without inflating the price.
