Overview

Murmurd replaces the daily standup with short, asynchronous check-ins. It helps a team spot blockers, share progress, and keep people informed without adding another meeting.

The Problem

Pain Point	Current Solutions	Murmurd Solution
Standups don’t scale	15-min meetings become 45+ min	30-second async check-ins
Meeting fatigue	Calendar full of syncs	No meetings required
Information silos	Knowledge stuck in heads	AI summaries shared automatically
Blockers surface too late	Discovered at standup	Automatic escalation to the right person
Time zone chaos	Finding meeting times across zones	Async by design, works globally

Key Features

Daily Check-ins

Team members answer a few short questions when it suits them. Murmurd collects the responses into an update for the people who need it.

Automatic Escalations

Rules route a blocker to the right person. If that person is away, the notification goes to the next available contact instead.

Weekly Priorities

Team members set their focus for the week and update it as work moves, without needing another status meeting.

Weekly Summaries

Friday Snapshot: Automatic weekly digest of team progress, blockers resolved, and overall health metrics
Monday Weekstarter: Summary of what is ahead, outstanding blockers, and team priorities

Slack Integration

Murmurd sends check-in prompts through direct messages, accepts quick status updates through slash commands, and posts team summaries to a channel.
