Use Plug and AI to gather what people shipped, what is next, and what is blocked — then publish a crisp standup digest in the channel without another SaaS seat tax.
Works on free Slack plans · $1.00 free credit included
Standups fail when updates scatter across DMs and half-written thread replies. An AI standup bot should compress that into something managers and ICs both read.
Turn free-form yesterday/today/blockers text into a consistent digest the whole channel can skim.
Ask the bot to list only blockers and who can unblock them — before the daily sync starts.
No separate standup product login. @AI in the standup channel or thread and get the brief where work already happens.
Use a fast free model for daily digests; switch to Claude or GPT when you need a sharper exec brief.
