Daily Standup Summary to Slack
Automate daily standup summaries with Nebula. Read your Slack standup channel each morning, summarize updates by person, and highlight blockers.
What you'll build
Your agent reads #standup every morning at 9 AM, summarizes what everyone is working on, and posts the formatted summary to #team, so your whole team starts the day on the same page without anyone having to do the organizing.
What to say
Read the messages in #standup from today and post a summary to #team. Group by person and highlight any blockers.
@Slack Agent read the last 20 messages in #standup and summarize them.

What happens
Nebula reads your standup channel
Nebula asks your Slack Agent to fetch the latest messages from #standup. It looks at everything posted today and pulls out the relevant updates.
Updates are grouped by team member
Each person's messages are grouped together so the summary is easy to scan, no hunting through a thread to find what one person said.
Blockers are highlighted
Anything that looks like a blocker (something someone is stuck on or waiting for) gets called out separately so it doesn't get buried.
A formatted summary is posted to #team
Your Slack Agent posts the finished summary to #team. It looks something like this:
