Most standup bots ask everyone what they did. Ray already knows.
A form that asks three questions every morning gets you three answers written from memory, by whoever has time. Ray builds the same update out of the systems the work actually happened in, and asks people only about the parts no tracker can know.
Ray is on Slack today. Free to start, and nothing sensitive happens without your approval.

How it goes now
The version of this everyone recognises, and nobody has time to fix.
- The standup prompt arrives at nine and gets answered at eleven, from memory, in one line.
- Half the answers are a paraphrase of a ticket that already says the same thing more accurately.
- The people who reply are the people who always reply, and the quiet ones are the ones worth hearing from.
- Nobody reads yesterday's, and everyone would notice if it stopped.
How it actually works
No builder, no workflow to configure, and nothing that acts on its own.
Ask for it in a sentence
No builder, no form designer and no configuration screen. Say what you want posted, where, and when, and Ray sets it up.
Ray builds it from the record
What moved, what is blocked and what is overdue come from the trackers the work lives in, read fresh at the moment it posts rather than collected from people in advance.
It posts itself, on your schedule
Any cadence, in the channel you name, in the workspace's timezone. Change it by asking, and cancel it the same way.
People fill the gaps, not the form
The only thing worth asking a person is what a system cannot see. Everything else is already written down somewhere Ray can read.
What that looks like in a channel
Somebody says something. Ray does the rest, and asks before anything leaves the room.
“Post a standup in here every weekday at 9.”
Ray schedules it and posts what moved, what is blocked and what is overdue, built from the live trackers rather than from replies.

What Ray does not do here
Worth knowing before you try it, rather than after.
- Ray does not run a question-and-answer standup where each person is prompted privately and the answers are collected. If a form-style standup is what your team wants, a dedicated standup tool does that better and we say so on the comparison pages.
- A digest is only as good as what the team actually tracks. If work never reaches a tracker, Ray cannot report on it.
- Free workspaces get one scheduled digest. More than one needs Pro.
- Ray posts to channels it is a member of, and reads only those.
What people ask first
The short answers are here. If we have not covered something, just ask.
