Standup Digest

Async standups scatter across messages, and nobody reads them all - so blockers hide and updates get lost. This assistant gathers your team's standup updates, distills who's working on what, what's blocked, and what shipped, and posts a clean digest to your Slack channel on schedule. The whole team gets one readable summary instead of a wall of messages, and blockers surface fast.

Works with Slack

This assistant connects to Slack once. No code required. It is not a plain field-copy integration: as data moves, the AI adds a real decision step (classify, extract, prioritize, draft). You set the autonomy level: ask for drafts and every send to Slack waits for your review, or instruct it to send and it runs fully automatic.

Automation coverage and limits

• Slack: 9 verified event triggers in the integration catalog can start an assistant automatically. Exact delivery timing depends on the integration; we do not promise real-time.

This assistant only reaches operations verified in the integration catalog, through a connection you authorize and can revoke. Capability facts last verified against the catalog on 2026-07-10.

Good to know

Connect Slack once (about 2 minutes). The assistant only posts the digest to your chosen channel - it never changes existing messages.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Standup Digest assistant collect team updates?

Your team submits standup updates through Slack during the day, and the assistant gathers them automatically - no separate tool or form required.

It posts the digest to your Slack channel on schedule, but only after a human reviews and approves it - it never sends anything without your go-ahead.

Which apps does it integrate with?

It connects directly to Slack - that's the only integration needed. Setup takes about 2 minutes.

Can I customize the digest format or schedule?

Yes, you can adjust the schedule and the way updates are compiled directly within Gaia's no-code interface - no coding required.

Is this assistant free to try?
