AI Daily Standup Bot
An automated standup bot for Slack and Microsoft Teams that collects daily updates from team members, summarizes progress, flags blockers, and generates sprint insights without requiring a live meeting.
What it does
AI can build a daily standup bot effectively. Slack and Teams bot APIs are well-documented with straightforward message handling. The async collection and summarization logic is standard CRUD plus text formatting. AI-generated summaries and blocker detection are strong LLM use cases. Jira and GitHub API integrations are well-trodden paths. The main consideration is Slack/Teams app approval and distribution, but a single-workspace install works without marketplace approval. This is a practical, achievable build for an intermediate builder.

Build prompt
Build a daily standup bot for Slack and Microsoft Teams with these features: 1. Standup scheduling: Set a daily time window (e.g. 9-11am) when the bot DMs each team member with 3 questions: What did you do yesterday? What will you do today? Any blockers? 2. Async collection: Team members reply in their own time during the window. The bot collects and formats all responses into a single threaded summary posted to a dedicated channel. 3. Blocker detection and alerts: AI analyzes responses for mentioned blockers, dependencies, and stuck items. Automatically pings relevant people or channels when a blocker is detected. 4. Sprint tracking integration: Connect to Jira, GitHub Projects, or Linear. The bot cross-references standup answers with active tickets and flags tasks that are behind schedule. 5. AI summary and insights: After all responses are in, the bot generates a concise team summary highlighting completed work, in-progress items, blockers, and team morale indicators. 6. Follow-up reminders: If someone has not posted by the end of the window, the bot sends a gentle reminder. Configurable reminder frequency. 7. Historical dashboard: A web dashboard showing standup history, participation rates, recurring blockers, and team velocity trends over time. 8. Customizable questions: Let team admins customize the standup questions beyond the classic 3. Add questions like 'How are you feeling about the sprint?' or 'Any help needed?' 9. Timezone awareness: Support distributed teams across timezones with per-member standup windows. 10. Integration with calendar: Skip standups on holidays and team members' PTO days automatically. Use a clean, minimal configuration UI. The bot should feel lightweight and unobtrusive, not like another tool to manage.
