EvidenceBefore · After
Replace daily standups with async Smart Check-ins
Before
Daily standups eat deep-work time and miss participants across timezones, leaving leaders without a full picture.
After
Smart Check-ins draft daily updates with one click using activity from GitHub, Jira, and others, with blockers surfaced automatically.
Expected outcome: Higher standup participation, faster blocker resolution, and more deep-work time per teammate.

Target keywords
Objections & responses
“We already use Slack, Jira, and GitHub. Why add another tool?”
Response: Steady sits on top of those tools and distills their activity into a single async loop. Connect Slack, GitHub, Jira, Zoom, and Google Calendar and Steady automatically pulls activity into check-ins, goals, and a personalized Daily Digest, so it reduces tool-switching instead of adding to it.
“Will AI summaries hallucinate or expose data the wrong people should not see?”
Response: Echoes is described as using enterprise-grade vendors with no training on customer data, only accessing data the user already has access to in Steady, and producing auditable answers with links to source material.
“Async standups will not work for our team.”
Response: Steady cites customers like Life360, Loom, Mozilla, and Crazy Egg using async Smart Check-ins to keep distributed teams in sync, with one customer reporting 100 percent standup participation after adoption.
“We use OKRs, MBOs, or sprints already. Will Steady force us into a new framework?”
Response: Steady is opinionated about coordination, not about how teams work. Goal Stories support OKRs, MBOs, sprints, cycles, and informal approaches, alongside existing tools.
“We need to work inside Slack and Teams, not yet another app.”
Response: Steady is delivered in the browser, on the desktop, and inside Slack, Microsoft Teams, and MCP-aware assistants like Claude and ChatGPT, so digests and reminders show up where teams already work.

About Steady
Steady is a lightweight teamwork OS that runs two coordination loops for you: a big-picture loop via Goal Stories and a ground-level loop via Smart Check-ins. Purpose-built AI agents (Echoes) distill updates and activity from tools like GitHub, Jira, Slack, Zoom, and Google Calendar into a personalized Daily Digest, so distributed teams cut meeting overhead, surface blockers fast, and keep everyone in sync across timezones.
