How to Build an AI Daily Standup Agent

An AI agent scans your agency’s project boards, docs, and chat history overnight — then posts a structured standup summary every morning. No meeting, no “where are we on the Patagonia deliverables” Slack threads, no missed updates.

Here is what your #team-updates channel gets at 9:00 AM:

How it works

Create a standup agent at dashboard.carlyassistant.com (or email carly@usecarly.com and describe what you need). Connect your project tracker, docs, and messaging — Asana, Google Docs, and Slack cover the core workflow. The agent scans activity overnight and posts a structured standup every morning at the time you choose. It learns your client naming conventions and what counts as a blocker.

How teams use an AI standup agent

  • Daily per-client status — agent posts morning standups in Slack organized by client account, pulling from Asana tasks and Google Docs, so project managers see every client’s status without chasing updates
  • Weekly client deliverables report — agent compiles what shipped per client that week — campaigns launched, content published, assets delivered — and emails it to account leads every Friday
  • Monthly retainer utilization summary — agent tallies hours and deliverables against each client’s retainer, flags accounts running over or under budget, and sends the summary to leadership on the 1st
