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.

Less Friction Than Typing It Out

Daylee is built so members spend as little time as possible on their standup:

  • Drafted updates — If GitHub, JIRA, or Linear is connected and the member has linked their account, Daylee writes the standup for them. It pulls in commits, pull requests, issues, and comments since the last report and arranges them under each standup question. The member reviews the draft, refreshes it, edits it, or shares it as-is. See Drafted Updates.

  • Voice replies — Members can send a Slack voice message to Daylee instead of typing. The audio is transcribed and processed as the standup update. M4A, MP3, MP4, OGG, WAV, and WebM are supported up to 25 MB.

  • Push from your coding agent — Members who use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP-capable agent can submit their standup directly from their editor without switching to Slack. The agent summarises the session, reads git log, asks for confirmation, then pushes. See Coding Agents.

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 — if you are a Daylee admin — open the App Home tab, click Manage Teams in the Administration section, and click Create Team in the footer. 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.

Only Daylee admins (the installer and workspace admins by default) can create teams. See App Home — Administration for details.

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 — by typing, by voice message, by reviewing a tracker-built draft, or from their coding agent. Reports are generated and posted to the report channel on schedule.
