Getting Started

What is Daylee?

Daylee is a Slack application that helps teams run asynchronous daily standups. Instead of scheduling live meetings, team members receive prompts in Slack, submit their updates when convenient, and Daylee generates AI-powered summary reports automatically.

How it works:

  1. Daylee sends daily prompts to each team member via DM.

  2. Members reply with their update (what they did, what’s next, any blockers).

  3. At the scheduled time, Daylee collects all updates and generates a report with an AI summary.

  4. The report is posted to your team’s chosen channel.

Installing Daylee

A Slack workspace administrator can install Daylee from the Slack App Directory or via a direct install link. During installation, Daylee requests permission to:

  • Send and read direct messages

  • Post messages to channels

  • Read channel membership and info

  • Access user and team information

  • Register slash commands

After installation, the person who installed Daylee receives a welcome DM with getting started instructions. Your workspace also gets a free Pro trial so you can explore all features during onboarding. The app appears in the workspace’s app list and is available to all workspace members.

Quick Start

Setting up your first team takes about two minutes:

Step 1: Create a team

Use /daylee create-team or click Create Team in the App Home tab. You’ll need to provide a team name. An optional description helps members understand what the team is for.

You automatically become the team’s administrator.

Step 2: Add members

Use /daylee add-member or select Members from the team menu in the App Home tab. Select the Slack users you want to add to the team. Each new member receives a DM notification that they’ve been added.

Step 3: Configure your schedule

From the team menu in the App Home tab (visible to team admins), configure:

  • Team Settings — set the report channel, timezone, and team description.

  • Daily Standups — set the prompt schedule (days and time), reminder timing, and how individual updates are published. By default, prompts are sent at 9:00 AM on weekdays.

Step 4: Start collecting updates

Once configured, Daylee sends prompts automatically. Team members reply to their DM prompt or use /daylee update to submit their standup. Reports are generated and posted to the report channel on schedule.
