Keep my work log and write my standup for me

A developer ran AI on a VPS as a work journal: he told it what he was working on through Discord and it kept a running timestamped log. Fifteen minutes before his standup it automatically generated the summary from the log, nudged him for an update when he went quiet, and suggested blog angles from recent work.

How it works

Tell the agent what he is working on via Discord
Agent keeps a timestamped work log
15 minutes before the standup, agent generates the summary from the log
Agent nudges him after quiet periods
Agent proposes blog angles from the log

Why it’s worth knowing

The standup writes itself from a log the agent kept all day.
