Stany

Stany, the BuddiesHR async standup bot for Slack, replaces status meetings with written daily check-ins. At the time you choose, Stany posts in a Slack channel and sends each participant a direct message; people answer in a short form, and their answers appear as thread replies under the day's post, with a live summary of responses, blockers and moods.

You set up and manage standups on the BuddiesHR web dashboard at dashboard.buddieshr.com. Stany works with Slack only.

Start with the get started guide.

What you can do with Stany#

• Run several standups, each in its own Slack channel, on the days and at the time you pick.
• Choose who takes part: a whole channel, a channel minus some people, or a hand-picked list.
• Write your own questions, including a mood check and a blocker question.
• Send personal reminders 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours after the standup starts.
• Let people skip a day, or snooze until a date, with a reason.
• Answer in Slack or on the web dashboard, and edit an answer until the deadline.
• Browse every past check-in on the web dashboard and export them to Excel.
• Pause a standup for holidays and resume it later.
