DailyBot was born out of our own need - we’ve been WFH for many years and needed to stay in-sync with each other. There was a behavior we were not happy about: managers or people coming to others asking about what they’re working on or requesting status updates, often. We wanted to change that behavior with our product, if you get some written updates on a periodic basis, the team will get more aligned, managers won’…

How is this different than established players in the space like GeekBot?

We're building a whole ecosystem of tools and add-ons for async work. Bots like geekbot are focused on stand-ups, and this is only a piece of what we're doing now - our goal is to replace several bots/apps with our toolkit, and implement security standards that are not followed by current bots; we're also available in more chat apps, not only in Slack.

DailyBot lets you give kudos to teammates, have a watercooler in a chat channel, random 1:1 coffees, run a virtual commute that reminds you to disconnect from work each day, run countdowns, pomodoros, and more. You can even build public web forms that are connected to your chat channels through the bot. In the end, we want to make the chat 10x better and at the same time provide only one dashboard that connects all that data.

Our product is extendable: you can connect your check-in responses to over thousands of apps through Zapier, and build your own chat commands without technical knowledge. For example: you can create a command that responds with your predefined text, like to access information quickly inside the chat, or to trigger a form, or get data from your back office tools, kind of useful for chat-ops.

We created a 2min video that shows a bit of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHZnGl4c-9g

We are Ana and Luis, the founders of Glitzi ( https://glitzi.com.mx/ ). We provide certified beauty and spa services, same day and delivered at home, in Latin America. In Latam, lack of regulations and licencing means that people struggle to access quality beauty and wellness services. Beauty salons and spas also offer very poor working conditions to professionals, who live mostly off tips or low commissions. As a La…

I'm seeing a trend of apps that help to (micro)manage distributed / remote workforces. Virtually keeps track of who is late and no-show to Zoom events, Dailybot has automated standups that basically keeps tabs on employee work and productivity. I'm curious to hear from the founders as to what motivated the creation of the apps and whether WFH plays a significant part in the value proposition. Would you need either ap…

>Virtually keeps track of who is late and no-show to Zoom events

Wow, back to high school. They don't track attendance in undergrad even. Why do companies need this sort of information? If the person is important to the meeting, them being a no show will be pretty evident. If they are so irrelevant to the meeting that they could just dip out and no one would be the wiser, why are they even wasting their time in the zoom meeting to begin with? Just email whatever information you need to get out if the zoom meeting is going to just be an announcement or one sided lecture.

It also wouldn't be hard to write a little script that automatically connects you to zoom meetings that are coming up. You probably only need a few lines of bash to write your own if you have a tool like icalbuddy where you can grep for upcoming zoom meetings in your calendar.

Hi - this looks like a service that would be valuable to my remote team.

I'm interested to know the pricing before signing up. I'm curious what the reasoning is behind hiding the pricing behind a signup process.

Congratulations on launch. We , Urbancompany.com, have launched similar services (and more services like plumbers, technicians as well) in India around 6 years back and few countries in Asia. Customer response has been really positive.

Ohhh Urbancompany.com we know about you guys! Great work! Is it true that your main services are beauty and wellness? I will love to talk to you to share notes.

Hi - this looks like a service that would be valuable to my remote team. I'm interested to know the pricing before signing up. I'm curious what the reasoning is behind hiding the pricing behind a signup process.

We landed at this pricing: $3/mo per user (in a basic plan) and $5/mo per user in a standard plan that includes more security features, anonymous check-ins, culture/team values for kudos, API/webhooks, and some other details.

The reasoning behind hiding pricing: we've been running a/b tests for different pricing setups inside our web app. We had to hide it from the public page because of a technical limitation in our a/b implementation. Public site and web app are completely separated and we didn't want to spend time integrating more things to track users/sync info between both apps - it soon will be over.

[Edit] Pricing page is not hiding info now.
