Geekbot

Geekbot

Geekbot is a team collaboration bot built for Slack and Microsoft Teams. It runs asynchronous standups, polls, and surveys inside the chat tools your team already uses, so status updates happen without scheduling another meeting.

The bot prompts participants on a schedule you set, collects their responses, and posts summaries back to channels or threads. Managers get participation rates, blocker categories, sentiment signals, and analytics dashboards without chasing people for updates.

Beyond standups, Geekbot supports quick polls with optional AI-generated answer choices, recurring surveys, and open-ended responses grouped into themes. Customer stories on the site cite teams at Shopify, GitHub, Zapier, and GitLab using it for distributed and remote work.

Geekbot also offers a public API, CLI, and MCP server for connecting standup data to external workflows and AI agents. The Starter plan is free for teams of up to 10 active participants with no credit card required.
