A weather app tells you it’s 41 °C.
HeatShield tells you what to do about it.
Heat is linked to an estimated 489,000 deaths a year. The people most at risk — outdoor workers, older adults, anyone without reliable cooling — rarely get a warning that is specific to their body, their job and their language. HeatShield turns the forecast into a personal action plan and warns you before the hottest hours arrive.

Heat index in the shade. Direct sun can make it feel up to 8 °C (15 °F) hotter.

Your action plan
Get warned automatically
HeatShield re-checks the forecast every hour and emails you in your language when heat reaches your personal alert level. At most one alert per level per day, never between 21:00 and 06:00 your time.
One person can watch out for a whole group
A site foreman, a teacher, a clinic outreach worker or a neighbour checking on older residents creates a group, shares one invite link, and sees everyone’s heat risk on a single private dashboard — who is in danger now, and when it peaks. Each member still gets their own alerts in their own language.
Create a group
See it working
The demo dashboard follows a fictional group spread across real hot places, with live forecasts. It is read-only.
No accounts or passwords: groups use a private dashboard link that only the leader holds.
Eight AI agents run it around the clock
Sol watches for heatwaves every hour and Quinn checks how far to trust the forecast. Mira writes the advice, Lexi and Vera check every plan before anyone sees it, and Iris teaches the team from its own corrections. Kai plans group check-ins and coordinates the questions you ask them, and Otto keeps the site up. This office is drawn from their real activity on AWS, live.
How it works
Real weather, real heat science, and generative AI used for the part that matters most: turning a number into a plan a person will actually follow.
- 1 · Forecast
Live hourly weather
Temperature and humidity for the next four days from Open-Meteo, anywhere on Earth. Your location is rounded to about 1 km.
- 2 · Science
NWS heat index
The US National Weather Service formula combines heat and humidity into a heat index and risk tier, hour by hour, including when risk will rise and peak.
- 3 · Personal
Your body, your threshold
Older adults, pregnant people, young children and people with chronic conditions are warned one tier earlier than the general public.
- 4 · Amazon Bedrock
An action plan in your language
An AI model writes three concrete steps and the warning signs to watch, grounded in CDC and NIOSH guidance, in any of 13 languages.
- 5 · Early warning
Alerts you don’t have to ask for
Every hour, Amazon EventBridge Scheduler triggers a re-check and Amazon SNS emails anyone whose risk is rising.
