Question 3

Accepted Answer

** Install the Slack/Teams app, invite your team, and configure standup time (the tool auto-adjusts for each member's timezone). Choose a template or create custom questions. The tool sends reminders, collects responses, and posts a formatted summary to your channel. Setup takes under 10 minutes.

Question 5

Q5: Is our team's standup data secure?

Accepted Answer

** Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We are SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and offer data residency options (US, EU, APAC). Enterprise plans include custom data retention policies and the option to self-host.

Question 6

Q6: Can I export standup data for reporting?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Q7: Does the tool work across different timezones?

Accepted Answer

** Yes. The smart scheduler detects each team member's timezone and sends reminders at their local morning time. You can set "core hours" where all responses are visible, or allow fully async 24-hour windows. The summary aggregates responses regardless of when they were submitted.

Question 8

Q8: How accurate is the AI-generated team summary?

Accepted Answer

** The AI summary achieves 94% accuracy in capturing key blockers and themes, based on 10,000+ standup evaluations. It uses fine-tuned LLMs trained on software team communication. Users can edit summaries before posting. Accuracy improves over time as the model learns your team's terminology.
