Async standup bot for Telegram groups
Async daily standup: the bot DMs 3 questions, then posts one compiled report to the group.
Daily Standup runs an async standup for a Telegram group without a meeting. An admin sets an hour and weekdays with /standup setup, and at that hour the bot DMs each member the same 3 questions — what you did, what you're doing, and any blockers.
As answers come back, the bot compiles them into a single report posted to the group, so everyone can read the whole team's update in one place instead of a scattered thread. Pro groups also get an automatic weekly summary posted every Friday.
Use it without adding the bot
Use it without adding the bot: mention @AsyncStandupBot in any group to get a one-tap card to open it — a standup needs a schedule and joined members, so a guest reply is a pitch, not a live report.

Privacy
- Your DM answers to the 3 standup questions are stored per group, per member, per day, and are shown in that group's compiled report — they are not shared with any other group the bot is in.
- Members who haven't started a private chat with the bot can't be DMed and are skipped from that day's round automatically.
- Free groups keep only today's report; Pro groups keep 30 days of report history, after which older reports are cleaned up automatically.

FAQ
- What are the 3 standup questions?
- What you did (since the last standup), what you're doing (today), and any blockers. They're fixed and the same for every member each round.
- Do my answers stay private?
- No — your DM answers are compiled into the group's standup report by design, so the team can read everyone's update. Only the group's own members see that report.
- What happens if I don't answer?
- You're simply left out of that day's compiled report; the bot doesn't chase members who don't reply.
- What does Pro add?
- Removes the 5-member cap on a group standup, /standup history for the last 7 reports, and an automatic weekly summary every Friday, for a one-time 150 Stars payment per group.
