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:
Later that week, you ask what the team delivered:
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

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
