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.

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.
