It's time for our daily standup! Those are my favorite!"—said nobody, ever. Standups are daily meetings where team members answer the same questions: What did you do since the last meeting? What will you do before the next one? Are you blocked on anything? In theory, this works well, but can quickly grow numb to the same questions repeated over and over, missing patterns that should be addressed. Geekbot is a tool used at Zapier to streamline standups, shortening them to about a minute or so, depending on how much typing is done. It allows for side discussions, archiving of updates, transparency in public channels, and helps handle repetitive meetings. However, there are also potential drawbacks such as too little information, showing off, ignoring the tool completely, and downtime. Despite these concerns, Geekbot's value outweighs its limitations, making it a useful tool for teams to improve their standup meetings.
