The problem it solves

Chasing people for daily updates eats into your morning, and stray replies get lost across chats and threads. You want the team's status in one place without having to ask for it every day.

Who it fits

Team leads and managers running daily standups for a remote or hybrid team.

How it works

  1. Every morning at a set time, the automation messages each team member
  2. It asks what they finished, what they're working on next, and what's blocking them
  3. As people reply, their answers are collected automatically
  4. The combined answers are posted to a shared Mattermost channel
What you get

Standup answers gathered without chasing anyone down

Your team gets asked three standup questions each morning, and their answers land together in a shared Mattermost channel.

What you get

A daily standup summary posted in a shared Mattermost channel.

What you need

A Mattermost workspace with a bot account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
