The problem with daily standup forms

Geekbot asks your team "What did you do yesterday?" every day. Here's what teams discover after using it:

🎯

No More Interruptions

Protect developer focus.

Research shows developers need 23 minutes to regain focus after an interruption. Daily standup prompts break concentration during peak productivity hours. Gitmore watches Git activity silently.

📊

Real Data, Not Memory

Truth from your commits.

After a few weeks with Geekbot, developers start writing generic updates. Reports lose their value. Gitmore uses actual Git commits as the source of truth.

No Chasing for Updates

100% participation rate.

Geekbot's own reviews mention that participation drops over time. You end up chasing people for updates. With Gitmore, if they commit code, they're in the report.

The Gitmore Difference: Your Code Speaks for Itself

Instead of asking developers what they did, Gitmore watches what they actually do in GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket. Every commit, pull request, and merge is automatically tracked. Our AI generates human-readable summaries.

The result? Your team gets credit for their work without lifting a finger. Managers get accurate visibility. Developers stay in flow.

Who it's for

Choose the right tool

Gitmore is perfect for

  • Engineering teams who want progress reports without manual input
  • Engineering managers who want data-driven visibility, not self-reported updates
  • Remote and async teams who don't want another daily obligation
  • Teams with "standup fatigue" where responses have become meaningless
  • Organizations using GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket as their primary development platform
  • Cost-conscious teams who don't want per-seat pricing

💡 Geekbot might be better for

  • Non-engineering teams (sales, marketing, operations) where there's no Git activity to track
  • Teams that value the social aspect of manually sharing updates
  • Organizations heavily invested in the Microsoft/Slack ecosystem with Jira integration needs
  • Teams that need polls and surveys beyond standups

FAQ

Common questions

Is Gitmore really a Geekbot alternative?

Yes, but with a different philosophy. Geekbot asks your team questions and compiles their answers. Gitmore reads your Git activity and generates reports automatically. Both solve the "status update" problem. Gitmore just does it without requiring any input from your developers.

Can I use Gitmore with Slack like Geekbot?

Absolutely. Gitmore delivers reports directly to your Slack channels, just like Geekbot. The difference is how those reports are generated: automatically from Git vs. manually from forms.

How is Gitmore different from Geekbot?

The fundamental difference is input. Geekbot requires your team to answer questions every day. Gitmore requires nothing. It reads commits and PRs automatically. This means no interruptions to developer flow, no forgotten or copy-pasted responses, and reports based on actual work, not memory.

Does Gitmore access my source code?

No. Gitmore only accesses commit metadata (messages, timestamps, authors) and PR information. We never see your actual source code. Your code stays private.

What if my team uses multiple Git platforms?

Gitmore supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. You can connect repositories from multiple platforms and get unified reports.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! Gitmore has a free tier that includes 1 integration and 50 AI credits per month. No credit card required. You can also try Pro features free for 7 days.
