We're currently working on a work automation platform. We have a few capabilities that we're building to help you do your work better. For guidance it would be super helpful to hear directly from the HN crowd :)
Please do comment below about one thing you'd like to see automated. Would super awesome if you could complete this quick 1-min survey: https://bit.ly/2MjN6fd
Many thanks!
- Finding files that are relevant to my work
- Meetings / stand ups
- Creating status reports and communicating progress with work
I often find that tasks I do repeatedly is often not automatable due to high contextual information that is required to do so
If there was a bot that kept up with my work and just summarised all the progress since my reviews ... that would really be super useful and I’d likely do more reviews
Repeated tasks, low structure but high effort: - Finding files that are relevant to my work - Meetings / stand ups - Creating status reports and communicating progress with work I often find that tasks I do repeatedly is often not automatable due to high contextual information that is required to do so
We have recently automated stand ups, so the what I did yesterday/what I will do today/blockers are all pulled from Jira so now we only discuss major sprint goals and how to unblock any blockers...this reduces the meeting to just the important stuff
Many channels on slack + email threads + conversations on DMs
Does code review and keeping up with code reviews count? I find that I can review PRs from multiple teams in a day and keeping up with them all of them is a lot of effort If there was a bot that kept up with my work and just summarised all the progress since my reviews ... that would really be super useful and I’d likely do more reviews

Does this mean keeping all status up to date in Jira? would you mind sharing how you do this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

How often is Jira up to date for you? I've often seen that standup can be a chance for folks to realize they didn't update a task. We'd have Jira open and just do live updates to sync it.
Basically our team can't complete an issue without a commit, and a commit message won't be accepted without an issue tag.
(Issues can also be closed as "won't fix" without a commit of course.)
