The daily standup. We’ve all been a part of one. A quick morning meeting to let your peers know what you’re building, what you are blocked by, and when you will get that 3-week-old Jira ticket done.
In my opinion, it serves two purposes:
To actually inform and give a status update (best-case scenario)
An accountability forum to publicly ensure that you’re carrying your weight.
I think we can accomplish these 2 purposes without meeting for 15-30 minutes daily (not including the 15 minutes before and after as people need to mentally transition from meeting move to build mode or vice versa).
Today, we will build an automation workflow to help team leads synthesize information and tasks, saving time and money spent on daily standups.

Application Steps:
Set up a database of your team members' email addresses. This will track who needs to participate in the daily standup.
A morning email gets sent to your team, reminding them to complete their Daily Check-In Form.
A bit later, a follow-up email is sent to people who haven’t completed the form.
Your team members will individually fill out a form - highlighting the essential questions of the day about the status of their work. (And they answer with natural language!)
Once everyone has filled in their responses, OpenAI summarizes them and sends them in an email to your team lead.
You’ll receive a concise email download of your team’s goals, accomplishments, and issues daily.
