A standup bot is a Telegram bot that collects a team's daily status in private messages and publishes one digest. At the time you set it asks each person three questions: what you did yesterday, what you are doing today, what is blocking you. Once everyone has answered or the deadline passes, it posts a tidy digest to the team channel, grouped by person, with blockers and non-responders listed plainly.
Teams and work
Async standup bot
A daily meeting becomes one post, read whenever it suits.
What this bot does
-
Asks privately, posts once
Three questions arrive in each person's DMs. The channel gets a finished digest, not twenty separate messages.
-
Blockers do not get lost
Anything flagged as a blocker is pulled out separately in the digest. The history can be scrolled to spot the ones that keep coming back.
-
Reminds exactly once
Whoever has not answered gets one nudge, no more. Skipping a day or marking yourself away is allowed.
-
Respects time zones
Each person is asked in their own morning. For a distributed team that is the difference between a working tool and an alarm clock at three in the morning.
-
The schedule is yours
Time, questions, who is on the team, which channel, which weekdays. A half-collected digest is never published.

Description to paste
I want a Telegram bot that runs an async daily standup for my team so we can skip the meeting. Each workday at a time I set, the bot privately messages everyone three questions — what you did yesterday, what you're doing today, and anything blocking you — and collects the answers. Once people respond or a cutoff passes, it posts a clean digest to our team channel grouped by person, clearly listing anyone still pending and anything flagged as a blocker so nothing slips. Nudge people who haven't answered, but only once, and let anyone skip a day or mark themselves off. I can set the schedule, the questions, the team, the channel, and which days to run. Respect each person's time zone, never post a half-finished digest, and keep answers tidy. Give me a simple history so we can look back at past standups and spot blockers that keep coming up.
How it works
- Open AGNTDEV in Telegram and paste the description above.
- Answer questions about the substance: when to ask, where to publish, who is on the team.
- The build runs in the background — you get a notification when the bot is ready.
- Add the bot to the team channel. After that you edit in words: “don't ask on Fridays”.
Common questions
What if someone does not answer?
The bot nudges once and then lists the non-responders honestly in the digest. Skipping a day or marking yourself away can be done in advance.
Can I change the three standard questions?
Yes, you set the questions at creation and change them later in words. There can be two of them, or five.
Does it suit a distributed team?
Yes — it uses each person's time zone and asks in their morning. The digest is published once, when the answers are in or the deadline passes.
Where do I read past standups?
The bot keeps a simple history: you can look back through previous days and notice the blockers that repeat week after week.
