Escaping ‘Standups’: How GitReport started

Ever get a Slack message that messes up your focus? Happens to me at 5 pm a lot.

I run two businesses: Valor, a dev agency, and Sonic, a Twitter SaaS. So I juggle client meetings, stand-ups, performance reviews, and fundraising. It's too much sometimes.

Then I thought: Why not turn Github commits into team updates? That way, no one has to write reports that nobody reads.

So we gave it a try. We used Github's APIs and OpenAI's GPT4. It worked. GPT4 organizes our commits. Then it makes a report. In just a month, we made an AI assistant. It automates our daily and weekly stand-ups.

Here's what we found:

1. No Misses: GitReport catches all our work.
2. Focus on Real Work: We see what we really get done.

The best part? Less stress. No more wondering what we did all day or what got fixed last week. The reports aren't perfect, but GitReport runs by itself. For a small team like ours, that's a big deal.

We think GitReport could replace standup apps like Geekbot. So we're making it into a product. More Git features are coming, like tracking issues and pull requests.
