In their own words
Geekbot
Geekbot runs asynchronous standups, polls, and surveys in Slack and Microsoft Teams. For standups, it schedules check-ins, gathers updates, and shares reports that help teams follow progress and blockers. Notifications can be timed to participants’ local time zones, and team members can choose their reporting times. Polls support anonymous responses, multiple votes, scheduling, result visualizations, and AI-generated options. Ask Geekbot answers natural-language questions using reports and poll or survey votes as its source data. Optional integrations listed for its AI features include Google Calendar, Jira, Asana, GitLab, and GitHub. The Starter plan is free for up to 10 users; teams with more than 10 active participants need to upgrade. Starter reporting history goes back up to three months, while paid plans have unlimited history. Basic plans include API access and CSV exports. Geekbot is available on the web and through an API. Pricing starts at $0.75/user/mo billed annually for Polls & Surveys; Standups start at $2.50 per participant per month on annual billing. A 30-day trial is available for Basic.
Murmurd
Murmurd gives product teams a web-based way to run daily check-ins, raise blockers through an escalation chain, and set weekly priorities. Role-aware prompts can be delivered on the web, by email, or through Slack, with options to skip, pause, or mark vacation. Escalations pass through Team Leader, Team Manager, and Division Manager, bypassing people who are paused or away. Teams can set priorities, get a Monday reminder, and mark Friday outcomes as Completed, Shifted, or Dropped. Pro and Enterprise add AI summaries for Friday and Monday; confidential items are excluded, and the privacy policy says organization data is not used to train AI models. Slack supports check-ins by direct message, /escalate and /priority commands, and Friday digests for leaders. Murmurd says it processes only messages sent to its bot, not employee-to-employee DMs or channel history. The free plan covers up to five members; Pro costs $3/user/mo, and a 14-day trial is listed.
