Why is this computer slow?
Northwatch can examine startup activity, processes, services, storage, memory, hardware, and recent system evidence, then help identify the conditions most likely contributing to the slowdown.
AI-assisted Windows diagnostics
Turn computer problems into evidence-backed answers.
Northwatch collects trustworthy information from a Windows computer, then helps your team understand what is likely wrong, which evidence supports that conclusion, and what should be checked next.
Evidence from the machine
AI-assisted interpretation
Clear diagnostic reasoning
Human-controlled next steps
More than a remote utility
Northwatch helps explain the problem—not just list computer details.
Traditional utilities produce pages of technical output and leave someone to connect the dots. Northwatch is being built to combine machine evidence, earlier results, known symptoms, and approved follow-up checks into a diagnosis your team can understand and verify.
Illustrative investigation
What an AI-assisted diagnosis can look like
Customer question: “Why has this computer become so slow every morning?”
Evidence reviewed
- Startup programs and scheduled tasks
- Recent process and service activity
- Disk usage and storage-health results
- Earlier diagnostic snapshots
- Windows event records
Northwatch diagnostic explanation
The strongest evidence points to two new startup tasks repeatedly launching a failed update process after sign-in.
Those tasks appeared after the last healthy snapshot. Event records show the same updater failing and restarting, while storage and hardware checks do not show a likely physical failure.
Example confidence: high, with supporting evidenceRecommended next approved check: Verify the updater's signature, installation source, and current task configuration before deciding whether corrective work should be proposed.
This is an illustrative workflow, not a screenshot of the unfinished customer interface. A real diagnosis must reflect the evidence and authorization available for that customer and machine.
Ask better questions about a problem computer
What caused this crash or failure?
Event records, crash information, drivers, loaded components, and system changes can be brought together so the investigation follows evidence instead of a single error message.
Why can this user not work?
Network state, account information, permissions, services, and machine configuration can be checked together to narrow down access and connectivity problems.
Does this behavior look suspicious?
Unexpected startup entries, scheduled tasks, accounts, software, connections, and security findings can be reviewed as one diagnostic picture.
What changed since it worked?
Machine history and earlier diagnostic results give the AI-assisted workflow context that a one-time scan cannot provide.
What should we check next?
Northwatch can help recommend the next approved diagnostic based on missing evidence while keeping the user in control of what is requested.
From raw evidence to a useful diagnostic explanation
Collect
Approved diagnostics gather consistent information directly from the enrolled Windows computer.
Correlate
Northwatch brings symptoms, machine evidence, findings, and previous results together instead of treating every output as an isolated report.
Explain
The AI-assisted diagnostic experience presents likely causes, supporting evidence, uncertainty, and useful follow-up questions in plain language.
AI with controlled tools
The AI can investigate, but it does not get unlimited access.
An authorized user can ask Northwatch about a machine. The diagnostic assistant works from evidence the user is allowed to see and can request only specific approved checks. The server—not the AI—decides whether a request is permitted.
Built to support the person making the decision
Northwatch is not meant to replace an IT or security professional with an unexplained score. It is meant to help that person investigate faster, see the supporting evidence, recognize uncertainty, and make a better-informed decision.
The first-party AI diagnostic experience is part of the customer application now being built. Autonomous repair is not advertised as available. Any future change to a customer computer remains separately authorized by a human and recorded by the system.
