Steady vs Dailybot
The DailyBot Alternative That Grows With You
Start with standups. Expand to goals and sprint planning when you're ready. One platform that grows with your team.
What Happens After Standups?
DailyBot handles async standups well. But what happens when your team needs more? Goal tracking? Sprint planning? Cross-team coordination? Most teams add another tool. Another subscription. Another integration to maintain. Another context switch. The problem isn’t DailyBot; it’s that standup bots are built to do one thing. When coordination needs evolve, you’re left duct-taping tools together.

Standups That Connect to Strategy
Steady’s Smart Check-ins work exactly like DailyBot’s standups—automated daily prompts, compiled reports, multi-timezone support. The difference? Your standup blockers can link directly to sprint tasks or team goals.
No jumping between tools to understand why someone’s blocked or what they’re working toward. Complete context, automatically.
- Ultra-fast check-ins with AI Quick Fill
- Activity from GitHub, Jira, Linear auto-attached
- Team highlights summarize intentions in seconds
- Blockers surface automatically and notify leads
-
Goals Without Another Tool
When you’re ready for goal tracking, you don’t need Asana or another platform. Steady’s Goal Stories let you build nested OKRs with blog-like updates that keep everyone aligned.
Here’s how it works: set quarterly goals, link them to daily work, and Steady prompts owners for updates automatically. Published updates flow to everyone who needs context—no manual distribution, no forgotten stakeholders.
- Nested goals reflect team priorities
- AI templates summarize progress from check-ins
- Automatic reminders keep updates flowing
- Rich updates with images, links, and lists
-
AI agents for complete context
Echoes are AI agents that answer any question about what’s happening at work. Set them up once, get fresh answers delivered automatically before every 1:1 or leadership sync. DailyBot has nothing like this.
- Sprint boards with story points and velocity
- Retrospectives tied to actual sprint data
- Cross-team updates without extra meetings
- One unified feed for everything
-

“[Steady] helps us aggregate important data from the existing systems our developers rely on such as Jira & Github to the non-technical team members in our organization to give a clearer picture of the team's daily progress without requiring the devs to attend or fill out a standup. This has been a time saver for everyone that uses [Steady] and the cost is well worth the increased productivity time.”

Frequently asked questions
How do Steady's standups compare to DailyBot's check-ins?
Steady’s Smart Check-ins work just like DailyBot’s standups: automated prompts via DM, customizable questions, compiled reports shared to channels, multi-timezone support. The core experience is the same.
The difference? Steady automatically pulls activity from connected tools (GitHub PRs, Jira stories, Linear issues) and attaches it to check-ins. AI Quick Fill drafts your update in one click. And check-ins connect to goals and sprints, so context flows naturally between daily work and strategic planning.
Does Steady work with Slack and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. Steady integrates with both Slack and Microsoft Teams for reminders, notifications, and updates. You can also use Steady’s web app directly. All the same functionality, multiple access points.
Can I use Steady for just standups like DailyBot?
Absolutely. Steady works great as a standalone standup tool. Use Smart Check-ins, ignore everything else.
The difference from DailyBot is that goal tracking, sprint planning, and cross-team coordination are already there when you need them. No switching tools. No new integrations. Just enable the feature and start using it.
What integrations does Steady support?
Steady connects with all the tools development teams use daily:
Developer tools: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps Project management: Jira, Linear, Asana, Trello, Shortcut, Monday.com Team chat: Slack, Microsoft Teams Calendars: Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar Meetings: Zoom
Activity from these tools automatically appears in check-ins and feeds—zero manual tracking.
How long does it take to switch from DailyBot to Steady?
Most teams are up and running in under 30 minutes. Here’s the process:
- Connect Steady to Slack or Teams (2 minutes)
- Add your teams (5 minutes)
- Set up first check-in schedule (5 minutes)
- Connect tools like GitHub and Jira (10 minutes)
- Run your first check-in (immediately)
No data migration needed. No complex configuration. Just connect and go.
