Geekbot

What is Geekbot?

Geekbot is an async standup bot for Slack and Microsoft Teams that sends scheduled questions via DM, collects responses, and posts aggregated reports to a shared channel. It replaces disruptive meetings with asynchronous check-ins, keeping remote and distributed teams aligned across time zones.

Who is it for?

Geekbot is built for remote or in-office teams using Slack or Teams who want to reduce meeting fatigue. It suits managers tracking progress, developers preferring written updates, and any team with 10+ users (the free plan supports up to 10 users). It is not for teams needing real-time video standups or on-premise deployment.

Key features & use cases

Common use cases include daily or weekly standups, instant polls for quick decisions, automated surveys for feedback, and analytics dashboards to track participation, blockers, and sentiment. Integrations include Zapier and API access for custom workflows. A director of engineering at a remote company uses Geekbot to build culture across five time zones.

• Automated standups — schedule daily or weekly check-ins via DM in Slack or Teams
