Sometimes bot works with failure like posting twice daily stand up meeting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automated check-in feature is nice for sending daily check-ins to hold my colleagues accountable in meeting their long-term professional writing goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That I must buy a subscription to use the one simple tool that I'd like to use (automated check-ins to facilitate an annual 2-week long professional writing challenge). I have no need for the other tools that are offered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team of 4 enjoy using Geekbot for asynchronous sprint stand-ups and retrospects. The Geekbot dashboard makes it easy to customize the questions and schedules for both types of asynchronous meetings. Geekbot integrates with Slack making it easy to track and document meeting responses. It can be configured to send reminders to team members according to a customized schedule. Along with being able to set a personalized schedule, it’s always an option to use a Geekbot slack command to do an impromptu record. All these features make communicating as a team, spread across several time zones, convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To date, we have not found anything we would change about Geekbot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automated team standups via slack are amazing. When our team moved to 100% work from home we were having a standup meeting daily which ate 30 minutes in everyone's calendars. Using geekbot it's easy to drop that down to 2-3 meetings a week and just an automated series of questions which everyone sees the answers to.

It allows us to keep up with how everyone is doing day to day and also makes everyone reflect on their daily tasks, but without the dedicated calendar space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If/when we go back to working in the office the platform won't be as useful. Not sure how it will add value without being remote. Luckily it's a monthly bill so not a long lock-in period.

Adding more a few months later - As we got more used to working from home and hybrid, Geekbot has lost its usefulness. I need to get a temperature check on the team less and less, and most responses do not get looked at and many people skip the survey. I think going forward it will be more suitable for reminders on reporting, etc. we need for the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's very easy to set up. We use the standups for our daily task managing, either designed for group morning work plan or specific questions for different individuals to track the projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'd like to set different time/question choices in the same standup for different team members if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to set up and use, gain insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be tricky with time differences, time zones where Geekbot isn't sure when to ping but that only happens occasionally when someone's in a different place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far our team is only using Geekbot to handle Standup, but it is amazing. There is not a single thing missing there. A most appreciated feature is that it handles timezones. Our company works with people from Europe, the US, South America and New Zealand without this, standup would be a mess.

Also love that people can pick and choose the best time for them to fill their standup, that's especially practical for contractors that have variable hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be amazing if the whole setting up of standups could be done directly in slack, but honestly I don't see anything I don't like about Geekbot so far.

I just wish the free version could apply to also slightly bigger teams, but maybe depending on the company's means available ?

We're an indie game company and the price is a little steep for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geekbot is dead simple, and it lives where our team lives: in Slack. Set up your questions, your recipients, and your schedule, and you're off and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to fault here. It's got the right mix of features and simplicity to cover the basics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very clean and easy to use, I love its simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much to dislike! It would be great if there was an option for multiple teams within rather than the entire company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- gives visibility on the progress and difficulties of each person Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- the only problem for me is not being able to set reminders for others, for example when they go on holiday Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
