The problem it solves

Keeping everyone on a remote team aligned on what happened each day takes real effort, and writing a standup summary yourself is one more thing on your plate. Progress and blockers can quietly get lost.

Who it fits

Project managers and remote teams using Trello who want a daily project update without writing it themselves.

How it works

  1. Every business day at a set time, the system collects cards created and updated that day
  2. The activity is sent to AI for analysis
  3. AI writes a summary covering new work, progress, blockers, and priorities
  4. The summary is posted to Slack and emailed to the team
  5. Daily metrics are logged to a sheet and overdue cards trigger an alert
What you get

Standups you read instead of write

Your team gets a plain-English summary of the day's Trello activity in Slack every business day.

What you get

A daily standup summary in Slack and email, plus a running log of project metrics.

What you need

A Trello account, a Slack workspace, a Gmail account, and a Google Gemini API key.

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.
