A Slack standup bot that writes the update for you
Standup meetings interrupt flow and rarely say what actually shipped. truelo runs standup asynchronously in Slack and writes each person's update from their real commits, PRs and tickets — so the summary is accurate and nobody loses 15 minutes to a call.

No meeting, no context-switch
Everyone wraps up in ~30 seconds when their day ends. The summary is waiting for the rest of the team — no shared call, no interruption.
The bot writes the update
Commits, PRs and tickets become a readable summary automatically, so async standups stay high-signal instead of turning into copy-paste.
Grounded in real work
truelo pulls GitHub and Jira, so each update reflects what was actually built and closed — not just what someone remembered to type.
A nudge for whoever forgot
An optional reminder tags anyone who worked but hasn't wrapped — gentle, once a day, and only in the channel you pick.
Fair to quiet-commit days
Role-based questions capture reviews, QA and meetings, so a day of hard debugging or pairing still reads fairly.
More than a standup
The same bot adds delivery dashboards and time off — one subscription instead of a standup tool plus a PTO tool.
Why an async Slack standup bot
A good standup answers one question — what moved yesterday and what's next — without a meeting. Because truelo reads GitHub and Jira, the answer writes itself: everyone runs /wrap (or replies to a gentle nudge) in about 30 seconds and a high-signal summary lands in the channel you choose. It works across time zones because activity is attributed by work date, and it stays fair because it credits non-code work — QA, calls, reviews, DevOps — not just commits.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best Slack standup bot?
For engineering teams, truelo: it keeps the async-standup habit but auto-pulls GitHub/Jira activity, writes an AI summary, and adds dashboards and time off. Geekbot and DailyBot are solid general-purpose alternatives.
Can I run standups without a meeting?
Yes — that's the whole idea. It's async: a 30-second /wrap plus automatic activity produces the entire update in Slack, so there's no call to schedule.
Does it work across time zones?
Yes. Everyone reports on their own schedule and activity is attributed by work date, so late-night pushes land on the right day.
How long does setup take?
About five minutes: add truelo to Slack, connect GitHub/Jira, and run /wrap.
How much does it cost?
Free for up to 3 people, then €2 per basic teammate and €5 per developer per month, with a 14-day trial and no card to start.
