StandupBot

Replace daily standup meetings with async check-ins on Slack.

The Problem

Daily standup meetings waste 15-30 minutes for 5-10 people. That is 50+ hours per team per month of synchronous time. Remote and distributed teams across time zones cannot even schedule a shared meeting time.

The Solution

A Slack bot that collects standup updates asynchronously. Each morning it asks three questions (done, doing, blockers). Compiles responses into a digest. Flags blockers for managers. No meetings needed.

Competitive Landscape

Geekbot and Standuply exist and work well. But they are priced for mid-market ($3-5/user). A simpler, cheaper alternative ($1/user) with a generous free tier can capture small teams.

Why Now?

Not a timing play. Proven product category with room for a simpler, cheaper entrant.
