We like it as (1) it's very user-friendly, we can customize it (2) it has 1 general message in the chat channel with the main stats of the mood and blockers and all the replies are in the thread, I didn't see such an approach in any other daily bot solution - and it's super-useful (3) it automatically fills in the previous work progress! it's great that we don't need to scroll to the previous day message to copy it.

Yes, compared to others I've tested from Slack's Marketplace, so far, like "Birthday app", Billy is doing a great job and it works!!! I love the name "Billy" Needless to say the setup process is quite easy to configure nicely on Workspace and to the channels. Fantastic :D It's also being great as we have a few people on a private channel only for a department ^^ Billy's free license is doing well with these few people :D Thank you so much for your work !!! I really appreciate it.

I recently installed Alfy as a way to pair our design team for pair design sessions and to catch up since we’re a remote based company with folks in different regions. Also it reduces the mental load of scheduling something weekly rather keeps things interesting. Alfy’s been great! Super easy to set up and has been running seamlessly for a few weeks now.

Now I am at peace as I don’t have to keep a record of the team's birthday. Wishing them their day is significant for keeping the team motivated. I will recommend Billy to my friends as well.
