About Geekbot
Geekbot pushes async standups past Slack into the terminal and AI assistants
Geekbot's feed is mostly icebreaker, survey, and team-engagement SEO content, but the meaningful move is a CLI plus an MCP server that take standups, polls, and surveys beyond the Slack and Teams surface the product was built on. That makes the async-standup workflow scriptable and agent-accessible for the first time.
