Geekbot runs asynchronous standups, polls, and surveys inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, collecting updates on a schedule and compiling them into reports — now with Geekbot AI to set up standups conversationally and answer questions about team progress.
Geekbot pioneered the async standup: instead of a daily meeting, the bot prompts each teammate at their local time with a set of questions — what was done, what is next, what is blocking — and posts the compiled report to the channel, where the team reads and reacts on their own schedule. Standups are fully customizable, out-of-office periods are respected, and results feed a detailed analytics dashboard that shows engagement and progress over time. Beyond standups it runs polls and surveys for retros, mood checks, and quick decisions. Geekbot AI, available on the Basic plan, adds a conversational layer: create a standup by chatting, ask questions about blockers and team dynamics, and get instant summary insights instead of scrolling through raw answers. The pricing model is unusually fair-minded — you pay per active participant per month, billed daily, so people added or removed mid-cycle are charged or credited automatically, and polls charge only for people who actually respond. Reports can be broadcast in threads, exported to CSV, and accessed through an API, while an Enterprise tier adds volume discounts, custom security assessments, and managed cloud options.
Geekbot is freemium. The Starter plan is free for teams of up to 10 users with unlimited standups, reports, polls, and surveys. Basic costs $2.50 per participant per month on annual billing ($3 monthly) and adds Geekbot AI, threaded reports, engagement summaries, and API access; Enterprise is custom-priced.
Geekbot is for remote and hybrid teams that want standup discipline without a daily call — especially teams spread across time zones whose coordination lives in Slack or Teams.
