Recapline is an autonomous agent that reads your Jira and GitHub, asks each engineer one specific question grounded in their real tickets, and writes the weekly report your manager wants. No more 30-minute stand-ups. No more empty status forms.
Recapline runs autonomously every week. You don't fill in a form — the agent does the work.
Sprint state, ticket transitions, PR merges, commit activity for the reporting window.
Stuck work, hidden dependencies, cross-member blockers, velocity anomalies.
Each DM references a specific ticket or PR. No copy-pasted "how was your week?".
TL;DR, risks, suggested actions with owners. Posted to your channel and Confluence.
An actual output from the agent's synthesis layer (sample team, sprint mid-point).
Geekbot, DailyBot, Standuply, Status Hero — they all ask the same three questions to everyone, then paste the answers in a channel. Recapline is fundamentally different.
| Recapline | Geekbot · DailyBot · Standuply | |
|---|---|---|
| Reads Jira before asking questions | ✓ Pulls sprint, tickets, transitions | ✗ Sends static questions |
| Personalises questions per member | ✓ References real ticket keys + PRs | ✗ Same 3 questions for everyone |
| Detects cross-team patterns | ✓ Shared blockers, hidden deps | ✗ Raw aggregation only |
| Writes executive summary with actions | ✓ TL;DR + owner-attributed nudges | ✗ Pastes responses verbatim |
| Correlates Jira ↔ GitHub ↔ Slack | ✓ Native multi-tool synthesis | ✗ One source of truth |
| Adaptive nudging when members go silent | ✓ Per-member behavioural memory | ✗ Same reminder for everyone |
Free for small teams. Pay only when it's saving you real time.
Geekbot and similar tools are forms: they ask everyone the same fixed questions and paste the answers in a channel. Recapline reads your Jira and GitHub first, then asks each engineer one question grounded in their real work — and writes a synthesised report instead of pasting raw responses.
We process Jira and GitHub data in memory to generate the weekly report. The report markdown is persisted (so you can audit it). Connector credentials are encrypted at rest with Fernet (AES-128 + HMAC). We never train on your data and never sell it.
No — the GitHub connector is optional. If you only use Jira and Slack, the agent works fine and just won't include PR/merge data in the report.
Anthropic's Claude family (Sonnet for routine investigation, Opus for the synthesis report). We use prompt caching to keep cost low — typical run costs < $0.05 in tokens for a 10-person team.
Yes — on the Pro plan you can edit the synthesis system prompt or load a custom template. Default report works for 90% of teams without changes.
Yes — schedule is configurable. Daily, weekly, or custom cron. Per-team timezone supported.
