Async Standups That Respect Deep Work
The problem with daily standup meetings? They interrupt focus at the worst times—right when your devs are in flow state. Steady automates standup updates asynchronously, so developers respond when it fits their schedule.
Your team stays informed. Your developers stay productive. Zero meetings required.
- No daily standup meetings disrupting deep work
- Developers respond when convenient, not on schedule
- Complete standup history and context in one place
-
GitHub and Jira Integration
Steady pulls data directly from GitHub and Jira to auto-populate standup updates. Commits, PRs, closed tickets—all visible in standup responses automatically.
Developers spend less time writing updates. Managers get richer context about what’s actually happening. Everyone sees the full picture without asking for status reports.
- Auto-populate updates from GitHub commits and PRs
- Pull in Jira ticket status and progress
- See code activity alongside written updates
-
Get a bird’s eye view of what shipped
Let’s say your an engineering manager on a busy team, and you need to keep tabs on everything that’s going out the door. Use a simple prompt like “list all the Github pull requests that were merged in the last 2 weeks” and set the cadence for every other week. Echoes will deliver a complete list of everything that’s been shipped, and include a summary of the changes for each PR. No digging through Github, no having to ask for updates.
- Get exactly the information you need, exactly when you need it
- Summarize descriptions from Pull Requests to get complete context
- Stop chasing people for information, get it automatically instead
-
Smart Reminders and Follow-Ups
Steady automatically reminds team members to submit check-ins via Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, and natively in app, and flags blockers for follow-up. Managers get visibility into who’s stuck without having to ask. Developers get help before blockers become crises.
The system handles coordination overhead automatically. Your engineering manager focuses on clearing blockers, not chasing updates.
- Automated reminders for standup submissions
- Flag blockers and blockers for manager attention
- Track standup participation rates across the team

Frequently asked questions
How does Steady integrate with GitHub and Jira?
Steady connects to your GitHub repositories and Jira projects to automatically pull relevant data into standup updates. When a developer submits their standup, Steady can display their recent commits, open PRs, and Jira ticket progress alongside their written update. This gives managers and teammates complete context without requiring developers to manually copy-paste links or status details.
Can developers skip standup meetings entirely with Steady?
Yes. Steady’s async standup automation eliminates the need for daily standup meetings. Developers submit their updates when convenient—morning, afternoon, or between tasks. Everyone gets visibility into team progress without disrupting deep work or coordinating schedules across timezones. Many engineering teams using Steady have completely replaced their daily standup meetings.
What happens if someone forgets to submit their standup?
Steady automatically sends reminders to team members who haven’t submitted their standup by a configurable deadline. If someone continues to miss standups, managers receive a summary showing completion rates across the team. This automated follow-up eliminates the awkward “did you do your standup?” conversations while maintaining accountability.
How is this different from other standup tools for developers?
Most standup tools are only standup tools. Steady starts with standups but grows with your team—add sprint planning, retrospectives, goal tracking, or cross-team updates when you’re ready. As your coordination needs evolve, you’re already set up without needing to find another tool.
Do you support platforms other than Slack?
Yes. Steady works with Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email. Your team can receive standup reminders and submit updates through whichever channel they already use daily. GitHub and Jira integration works regardless of which messaging platform you choose.
Can we use Steady for sprint planning and retrospectives too?
Absolutely. Many teams start with Steady for async standups, then add sprint planning and retrospectives once they see the value. There’s no pressure to adopt everything at once—expand when your team is ready.
