How to Use Geekbot for Daily Updates in Your Team Meetings

A daily update is a quick, efficient, and low-impact way for teammates to stay on top of their work. The meeting allows teams to ask and answer a few simple questions that help everyone stay aligned. Geekbot makes running daily updates asynchronous and customizable to your team’s needs. For example, you can choose to send the questions to teammates at a time that’s convenient for them in their local timezone (rather than at an overly early or late time) and you can decide where you want the daily update answers to be sent to.

In addition, you can select which channels the daily update questions and answers will be broadcast to. Many teams choose to create a new, dedicated channel for daily updates (e.g., #daily-update) but you can also use an existing one. Geekbot also lets you set up optional reminder notifications that alert teammates to complete the daily update questions within a certain time frame.

To get started, open the Geekbot app and navigate to and then click the Add your custom commands or scenes tab. Click the + button to create a new scene and then select Daily updates from the list of prefilled templates.

After configuring your scene, you can test daily updates by invoking your Action and enabling the daily update subscription flow with Google Assistant on an Android or iOS device. Make sure to keep the conversation short after your update intent is triggered; most daily updates should only take a single response and then close without requiring further user input. If users are using their device as an alarm clock, you may also want to enable a daily wake-up notification for your Action.

What is the Crypto Market?

crypto market

The crypto market is the economic activity of buying and selling cryptocurrencies, with prices determined by supply and demand. Just like stock markets, commodities, and foreign exchange, the crypto market is a global network of buyers and sellers. This includes individual investors, financial institutions, hedge funds, currency traders, and national banks.

As a new and emerging asset, the crypto market is incredibly volatile. It can be hard for new investors to keep up with sudden price movements, and even experienced traders can struggle to understand why certain assets are rising or falling. This volatility can be profitable for high-powered Wall Street investors who know how to make quick trades and can predict where the market is headed, but it can be a minefield for novices.

One of the most important things to understand about the crypto market is that unlike traditional investments, cryptocurrencies are not backed by cash flows. They are instead a form of digital money that exists outside of the banking system and has the potential to disrupt the way we make payments. Because of this, the success of cryptocurrencies hasn’t yet been based on traditional investment analysis, and spectacular returns have created their own self-fulfilling prophecy: the higher they rise, the more interest and buying activity they attract, leading to even greater price increases.

Currently, the most popular cryptocurrencies are bitcoin and ether. Together, they account for about 73% of the total cryptocurrency market cap and more than half of trading volume. However, the crypto world is home to thousands of different currencies, and some are geared toward specific use cases. Investing in the right cryptos can help you diversify your portfolio and increase your chances of success.
