It's 9:25 AM. Standup is at 9:30.
Someone's going to ask: "What did you do yesterday, what are you doing today?" You have five minutes to figure out the answer. Most days, you scroll through your sent Slack messages, squint at your tickets, half-remember the meeting that ate two hours, and ad-lib bullet points.
It's fine. It's also worse than it should be.
The cost of the old way
Standup updates have a small daily tax that adds up:
- Reconstruction. You re-derive yesterday from breadcrumbs — Slack scrollback, ticket activity, your editor's recent files.
- Compression. You squeeze it into something that sounds like a status update in 30 seconds, and you leave out anything you can't summarize fast.
- Forgetting. The work that happens off-ticket — the meeting where you helped someone unblock, the doc you wrote, the spec you reviewed — usually doesn't make the bullet.
The result is the standup version of your day, not the actual version.
What Corivo's agent does
You give Corivo one command: "What did I do yesterday?"
The agent assembles the answer from real activity:
- Reads ticket activity. Issues you closed, moved, or commented on.
- Reads commit and PR activity. Code you merged, code you reviewed.
- Reads thread participation. Slack threads where you weighed in, decisions you helped land.
- Reads meetings. What was on your calendar; how long you actually spent in each (from screen activity).
- Reads what you spent real time on. Docs you edited, dashboards you stared at, the spec you read three times.
- Returns a tight bullet list for what you did yesterday and what's queued for today, ready to paste into your standup channel or read aloud.
The update is grounded in what actually happened, not in what you can recall in 30 seconds.
Status today
What works in the current beta:
- Screen activity. Corivo can already see what you spent real time on — docs, dashboards, threads, the editor.
- Local memory. Patterns about your day-to-day rhythm accumulate.
What the connected tools add:
- Linear — closed issues, moved-into-progress, comments.
- GitHub — merged PRs, reviewed PRs, commits.
- Slack — threads you participated in, decisions you helped land.
- Calendar — yesterday's actual schedule.
Screen activity covers what you spent real time on; connected tools add the ticket, PR, thread, and calendar details that make the bullets fuller and more accurate.
What you'll feel
Not earth-shattering, but cumulatively real: every morning, the first five minutes that used to be reconstruction become something else. The bullets you read in standup line up with what actually happened, including the off-ticket work that mattered. People stop hearing "worked on a few things"; they start hearing the specific ones.
It's a small daily lift. It compounds.
