Standuply

Standuply is a bot for Slack and Microsoft Teams that automates agile ceremonies and HR processes for distributed and hybrid teams. It runs asynchronous daily standups collected as text, voice, or video responses, along with retrospectives, backlog grooming sessions, and planning poker for task estimation. Beyond core Scrum workflows, it also handles HR-oriented tasks such as employee onboarding, team mood check-ins, 360-degree feedback reviews, and general team polls and surveys. The tool connects to common project-tracking systems, including JIRA, GitHub, Trello, and Asana, so standup and retrospective data can tie back to the tickets and boards teams already use. It also includes AI/ChatGPT integration to enhance responses within these workflows. Standuply is aimed at Scrum masters, project and product managers, and technology leaders who want to replace live meetings with asynchronous check-ins, particularly for hybrid or fully remote teams spread across time zones. The vendor states it is trusted by more than 50,000 businesses, naming Intel, IBM, Walmart, Adobe, Google, and Slack as customers, and offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. The site does not disclose a founding year or the name of the company operating the product, so it is unclear how long Standuply has been active or who runs it.
