Meet Your Standup Assistant
Your daily standup just got a chat assistant. Open the new sparkle icon in any standup and ask it to draft today's update, refine what you've already written, or recap what you and the team have been working on. It remembers how you like your updates written, so over time the drafts come back in your voice instead of generic AI-speak.
What's New
Write and Submit From Chat
Tell the assistant what you've been doing and it drafts your standup, shows it to you first, then submits it through the same flow you'd use manually. You can also ask it to pull yesterday's update forward as a starting point for today. It won't post anything silently. You always see the draft before it goes in.
Refine What You've Already Written
If you've already submitted for the day, the assistant switches modes. Ask it to review your answers and it'll suggest things you missed or could phrase better, editing surgically. Your existing lines stay verbatim unless you ask it to change something specific.
Recaps for You and the Team
"Summarize everything I worked on over the last 7 days." "What did the team ship over the last month?" The assistant can read across your standups and any team submissions you have access to, then pull together a recap. Useful for weekly reviews, 1:1 prep, or catching up after time off.
It Remembers How You Like Your Updates Written
This is the part we're most excited about. The assistant builds up a per-person memory of your tone, structure, recurring projects, and how you refer to things like blockers or risks. It learns this across days and applies it automatically. You can ask it "what do you remember about how I like my standups written?" any time, and each individual fact can be added, updated, or removed.
Context-Aware by Default
It already knows which standup you're in, what day you're viewing, your timezone, and the exact questions your team configured. No setup, no "which standup are we talking about?" The suggested starter prompts change based on whether you've submitted yet. It also replies in your account language and writes your standup content in that language too.
Voice Input and Streaming
There's a mic button if you'd rather talk than type. Responses stream in token by token, and when the assistant takes an action you see a live status chip in plain language ("Reading your standups," "Saving your standup," "Summarized") instead of raw tool names.
Why It Matters
Standups are a small commitment that adds up. Five minutes a day, but on the days you're context-switching or coming off a long block of focus work, even five minutes of "what did I do yesterday" can break your flow. The assistant takes that friction down to a sentence or two of input.
The memory part is what makes it actually useful long-term. Generic AI text generators are easy to spot. They write in a flat, neutral voice that doesn't sound like you. By learning your patterns over time, this assistant gives you back drafts that read like something you'd actually write, which means less editing and more accurate updates for the team.
Under the hood, the assistant uses the same standup tools that our public API and MCP server expose. It can't do anything you couldn't already do yourself, and it acts strictly as you with your permissions. This is the first surface of a broader pattern we'll be extending to retros and planning poker next.
Available now for all paid plans. Open any standup and look for the purple sparkle icon in the header to get started. Hosts and admins can toggle the assistant off per standup, and AI features can be disabled at the org, space, or standup level if you need.
