# StandupBot

> StandupBot is a structured async standup tool for Slack and Microsoft Teams. It runs scheduled, per-user check-ins on each person's timezone, records every response in a structured format, and gives managers a searchable history plus AI-powered summaries — without scheduling another meeting.

StandupBot replaces synchronous daily standup meetings with async check-ins that work across timezones. You configure the questions. The bot prompts each person on schedule. It records the answers, handles vacations and follower roles, and rolls everything up into a digest delivered to Slack, email, or the web dashboard.

Founded in 2016 (8+ years in market). Trusted by teams in 40+ countries. Single-tenant per workspace — install once in Slack OR Teams, not cross-tenant.

## Product summary

- **Category:** Structured async check-ins / async meeting bot.

- **Install model:** One workspace at a time. The same product runs in Slack OR Teams — configured per tenant, not across tenants.
- **Setup time:** Under 60 seconds from install to first meeting.
- **Free trial:** 14 days, no credit card required.

- **Starter:** $19/month — up to 20 users.
- **Team:** $49/month — up to 50 users.

## Positioning: the structured layer for the AI era

StandupBot is the structured collection layer, not the summary layer. Channel chatter is unstructured noise. AI is only as good as the data you feed it. Slack-native AI summarizes whatever happened to be said in a channel. StandupBot collects scheduled, structured responses from each team member — the kind of data managers and AI agents can actually act on.

This matters because Slack bundled AI summaries into the Pro plan in August 2025, then shipped an Anthropic-powered Slackbot agent in January 2026. Channel summarization is now table stakes. Structured async collection — scheduled prompts, per-user delivery, vacation handling, multi-team rollups — is not.

## Target audience

- Distributed and remote teams of 3–25 people
- SaaS startups, software agencies, product teams
- Engineering managers, tech leads, product managers, agency founders
- Slack-first organizations and Microsoft Teams shops

Not a fit for: co-located teams that prefer hallway standups, enterprise buyers needing SOC2/SSO/advanced RBAC, teams looking for a full performance-management platform.
