Trusted by Netflix, Snowflake, Spotify, Roku & 600+ engineering teams
The Geekbot alternative that writes the standup for you
Geekbot asks the same three questions and waits for your team to type. Troopr writes each standup from real Jira, GitHub, and Slack activity, then keeps Jira current from inside the same thread.
Free for 3 users. No credit card. Set up in under 5 minutes.
Trusted by 600+ engineering teams worldwide
Both run async standups in Slack. The difference is what the standup is connected to: Geekbot collects what people type; Troopr forms its own view from Jira, GitHub, and Slack and turns the standup into Jira progress, on every plan including Free.
The standup writes itself from real activity, not blank prompts
Update Jira issues from inside the standup, two-way
Scheduled Jira reports and nudges built in
Deep Jira integration on Free; Geekbot gates it to Enterprise
Why teams switch
A standup bot, or the coordination done
Troopr works from what shipped in your tools, not just what people remember to type.
It drafts the update, not just the questions
The standup that writes itself
Troopr reads each person's Jira, GitHub, and Slack activity and writes the draft for them, asking only when it cannot tell. Status stops depending on who has time to write a good update.
The standup keeps Jira current
Participants transition and update Jira issues from inside the standup, and Jira activity attaches to each response. The board gets accurate instead of drifting.
Reports and nudges, built in
Troopr schedules Jira reports, burndown, velocity, and JQL, and nudges on stale or overdue issues with one-click actions. A separate tool you would otherwise stack on top.
Every ceremony in one app
Standups, retros, planning poker, instant poker, and team mood from the same install, with retro actions tracked in Jira. No second subscription.

On AI
Reported versus shipped
Both use AI. The question is what it works from.
Geekbot AI
Answers what was reported
Geekbot AI works from what people typed into standups and surveys, useful for searching past responses after they are written.
Troopr AI
Drafts from what shipped
Troopr drafts each update from real Jira, GitHub, and Slack activity, then proposes the Jira updates the work implies, confirmed in a DM before anything changes. On every plan, including Free.
Proof
What it looks like at scale
86%
of time in weekly status meetings eliminated
Snowflake's engineering teams run async check-ins in Slack with Jira context in the report, instead of context-switching to status calls.

Saved per week for managers
Yahoo's distributed teams moved to async check-ins where members participate at their own time, freeing four hours a week for managers.

Security & privacy
Built to clear your security review
The privacy posture is a precondition of the product, not a later add-on. It's what makes an AI-native model safe to put in front of your team and your auditors.
- No training on customer data. Your work never trains a model.
- No storage of raw messages. Troopr derives and persists a structured set of facts about how your team works, not the raw firehose.
- Clear scope. Team channels, connected work tools, and a person's own shared activity. Troopr does not read other people's private DMs.
- OAuth and Jira permissions. Troopr authenticates via OAuth and never bypasses your Jira project, issue, or field permissions.
Looking for employee or customer support automation? That's a different job, and a different product.
Check enjo ↗FAQ
Troopr vs Geekbot, answered
What is the main difference?
Geekbot collects what people type. Troopr drafts each standup from real Jira, GitHub, and Slack activity, lets people update Jira from inside it, and adds reports, nudges, retros, and poker in one Slack app.
Is there a free Geekbot alternative for engineering teams?
Yes. Troopr can join your live standup, listen, and take notes, then produce a reality-grounded report afterward and propose Jira updates. Run async, live, or both; Troopr dedupes the overlap. It takes notes to build the report, it does not run or speak in the meeting.
Can Troopr update Jira from the standup?
Yes. Participants transition and update assigned issues from Slack, changes sync to Jira, and Jira activity attaches to each response, so the board stays current.
Does Troopr support Microsoft Teams?
Troopr is built for Slack, where its deep two-way Jira integration lives. That focus is what lets the standup write itself and keep Jira current from inside the thread.
