How is this better than just setting a time for a standup and a channel called #standup? I think @rrhoover does that.

@v4violetta Hey Violeta, I am the creator of Tatsu. Thank you for the question. Tatsu is a bot with some smarts built in. It asks all the participants 3 questions by calling on them each individually and then records the answers to share with the team later.

Nice idea, just wondering about the price point. As mentioned, you could easily create a #standup channel yourself and notify everyone with an @channel message so the $1 per member per month feels a bit expensive (considering this is yet another bill you need to process as well).

@micheloptlandt Hey Michael. Thanks for the question. I feel that Tatsu offers a lot of benefit over just a channel. It offers structure and a good flow. A lot of people use the saved answers as an easy way to review what they did without having to comb back through a channel. We have been using it for several months and decided it was well worth a $1 per participant.

@jwright I understand, but emotionally the $1 feels expensive comparing it to the $6,67 you pay per user per month for the Slack Standard Plan.

Tatsu is a plugin that allows teams to perform asynchronous standups in Slack. @kwdinc hunted this a few weeks back, but it was in beta at the time so it was pulled from the public listing. It's live now....

Hey all, I am the developer behind Tatsu. I built it because we needed it and we have been using Tatsu for the last few months for our remote team and it's helped our communication tremendously and eliminated a lot of distractions. If you have any questions please let me know, I would love to answer them.

Great idea! I've been showing dev shops and small digital teams the product and I'm excited to play around with it.

@stinhambo Hey Steven. This may be a DNS propagation issue as it was just launched. Does https://tatsu.io work for you?

@jwright Greetings from Tokyo. How is the information collected from the 3 questions presented? Is it in a pretty email? (Just to give you a heads up, tatsu - to stand, also infers an erection in Japanese)

@yeesamson Hey Samson. The activity is sent via email (unless you opt out) but it can also be accessed via the account activity up to 3 months ago. We'll just take the to stand definition :)

Hmm. Tatsu's founder, @jwright, was in the previous thread. Maybe he can help.

@robertvhoesel Thanks! It's one of my favorite tracks and it felt good for the video. Conner Youngblood is an amazing artist and he has a lot of great tracks.

Hey @jwright, hope you're still tuned into this hunt. Congrats on a great product, easily worth the pricing. Couple of questions: 1. Can we schedule standups to start automatically? 2. Can you store the conversations for more than 3 months? Happy to pay extra for indefinite storage.

@zemvpferreira Thank you for the kind words. 1. This is coming. Another user has created this IFTT recipe https://ifttt.com/recipes/279797... which starts the standup at a specific time. 2. Can you email support@tatsu.io and we can talk there about retention? Thank you again.

All good dude, we've been doing this manually for a few months so I'm excited to become a customer.

Love the name and logo. Luckily it was a simple character that works for a simple logo!
