Hi HN — we’re Mauricio and Sergio from DailyBot (https://www.dailybot.com https://www.dailybot.com). We provide tools for async work and team collaboration. It's currently a chatbot with support for Slack, MS Teams, G Chat, and Discord and others coming soon. Here's a 2-minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHZnGl4c-9g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHZnGl4c-9g
We've been working in distributed teams for over 6 years and even for us, async work was still challenging. We faced pains like having too many meetings. overusing calls, and processes that could and should be chat-driven, automated, or optimized. We wanted some sort of chat assistant that we could adapt to our daily workflows. We found a few bots with partial solutions but they didn't care much about privacy and security, and we didn't want to cobble a bunch of different apps together. So we started building a tool for teams like us!
DailyBot adds features that don’t exist in Slack - our goal is to replace many apps/bots you use, all integrated in one and with a web dashboard that combines insights from these add-ons in a simple way. You can use @DailyBot to automate daily stand-ups, periodic team check-ins, give kudos to your teammates, track team morale, and even run a virtual watercooler or random 1:1 coffees across the company. All inside your chat. We also made it customizable so teams can build their own chat commands that respond with predefined texts or with data from their APIs.
We’re building it with security and privacy in mind: we don’t read messages from Slack channels, nor private conversations, except when you tag @dailybot. We use granular scopes and get only the necessary API permissions, we encrypt data in transit and at rest and implement different roles/permissions at the web dashboard. DailyBot is being used mainly by product and engineering teams, to run stand-ups, agile routines and build their own chat commands. We offer a free trial, and seat-based pricing starting at $3/mo/user.
We’d love to hear any ideas on how you would like to see chat assistants evolving, for example: a) a command to send anonymous feedback to a person; or b) a better reminder feature, etc. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!
- finkin1 5y agoHi - this looks like a service that would be valuable to my remote team. I'm interested to know the pricing before signing up. I'm curious what the reasoning is behind hiding the pricing behind a signup process.
- maomorales 5y agoWe landed at this pricing: $3/mo per user (in a basic plan) and $5/mo per user in a standard plan that includes more security features, anonymous check-ins, culture/team values for kudos, API/webhooks, and some other details. The reasoning behind hiding pricing: we've been running a/b tests for different pricing setups inside our web app. We had to hide it from the public page because of a technical limitation in our a/b implementation. Public site and web app are completely separated and we didn't want to spend time integrating more things to track users/sync info between both apps - it soon will be over. [Edit] Pricing page is not hiding info now.
- sanedigital 5y agoSuper interested in your product as an alternative to GeekBot. But putting a "Pricing" page in your navigation and then not having pricing on that page is pretty aggravating.
- maomorales 5y agoI appreciate your feedback. We're moving fast here to solve that confusion, and it's done: https://www.dailybot.com/pricing https://www.dailybot.com/pricing
- sanedigital 5y agoAwesome, I appreciate you guys working so well with the (sometimes hostile) HN crowd. We'll make the switch next week. Best of luck!
