The problem it solves

Your team's daily standup bot needs occasional changes, like who's on the rotation or which channel it posts to. Editing a raw configuration file by hand is error-prone and easy to break.

Who it fits

Teams running an automated daily standup bot who need an easy way to change its settings.

How it works

  1. You trigger an update when standup settings need to change
  2. The system reads the current configuration
  3. It applies your changes to the settings
  4. The updated configuration file is saved and ready for the standup bot to use
What you get

Standup bot settings updated without touching a config file

You change how your standup bot behaves without ever having to open or edit a configuration file yourself.

What you get

An updated configuration file that the standup bot uses for future check-ins.

What you need

A Mattermost workspace running the standup bot system.

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.
