✅ Time Effectiveness

Every morning at 8am, Dailybot pings me on Slack asking me if we should start our daily follow-up now. Sometimes I answer immediately, but there are times when I’m busy with another meeting, on my way to the office, or let’s be honest, I haven’t even woke up.

I know I have a window of 2 hours after he has asked me to reply with a Yes, and then be asked the 3 core questions of a daily stand-up meeting: What did you do yesterday? What will you do today? What is getting in your way?

Compared to a sync meeting, answering these 3 questions usually takes me less than 3 minutes. That’s a 10x improvement 🚀

✅ Asynchronous Follow-ups

If I haven’t replied by 10am, Dailybot posts the team report to our #daily Slack channel and tags me making sure everybody notices I didn’t do it and helping our HR team charge me with $1 for the missed daily follow-up.

The team report also includes the answers of our fellow teammates spread across Madrid, NY, La Havana, Pereira, Bogota and Medellin so everyone can read what all the team is up to. They were all asked to complete their report earlier when their work day was starting.

✅ Transparency & Info Accuracy

When answering to a chatbot, you don't have the pressure of wasting your team’s time so you can actually think and remember what things you did the day before and what you are up to now. You also feel more comfortable sharing any problem you are having at the moment, whether it is something that depends on others work, or something personal that is reducing your productivity like getting the flu.

✅ Having a Record

Having a record for you team’s daily stand-up meetings can be useful in many ways, these are just some of them:
