Zest writes each engineer's standup from that day's coding-agent sessions and pull requests and posts it to Slack at 6pm in their time zone. Nobody types an update, unlike check-in bots such as Geekbot, where each person answers questions.
Added stable links and workspace-aware navigation for AI sessions.

The standup nobody has to write
Most standup bots, async ones included, ask each engineer to type what they did yesterday. On a team that codes with AI agents, that record already exists: the sessions, the pull requests, the reviews. Zest writes the standup from it.
What goes in each standup
Each engineer's standup is written from that day's work:
The pull requests they opened, reviewed and merged, from the Zest GitHub App.
The coding-agent sessions behind the work, from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot Chat, Grok Build or Hermes.
The reviews and comments they left.
Posted at 6pm in their own time zone, to your team's Slack channel or by email.
Once a week: the Team Standup
On Friday afternoons by default, Zest's Team Standup rolls the days up for the whole team: the AI stack worth sharing (the skills and practices that spread), the week's wins, and up to three moves to ship more, each tied to named work.

Starter is free (3 seats, no credit card). Pro is $49 a month with 5 seats and Max is $149 a month with 10 seats — priced per workspace, not per engineer, with extra seats at $19 a month.
For an engineering team's async standup, yes. Geekbot and Dailybot run check-ins, where each person answers questions in Slack or Teams, and Dailybot also lets AI agents post their own activity; Zest writes each engineer's standup from that day's coding-agent sessions and pull requests instead. It doesn't run custom check-ins, polls, forms or surveys for other teams.
