Eodly is an AI chief of staff for founders running mixed teams. It captures what your team actually did across the tools they already use, then sends you one sourced end-of-day report: who shipped, who is silent, who is slipping, and where a status claim does not match the evidence.
No. Your team checks in from where they already work. They send one short message to the Eodly bot in Slack, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, or Discord, and that is it. There is no new dashboard for them to learn and no daily meeting to attend. The dashboard is for you, the founder or lead.
No. Eodly is a chief of staff for the founder, not a watcher for the team. It never does keystroke logging or screen capture, and it never will. It reads the check-ins your team sends and the work systems you connect, such as GitHub or Linear, not their private messages or their screens.
A fair challenge, and here is the honest line. Surveillance monitors the person: keystrokes, screens, hours at a desk, things you did not choose to share. Eodly reads work products your team already puts in the open (commits, PRs, tickets, and their own check-in) and never touches screens, keystrokes, or private messages. That is the difference between "were you at your desk" and "what shipped," which is something any manager reasonably knows. The report is founder-facing today because the founder is the one who has to do the synthesis, not because it is hidden: nothing stops you sharing it, and we would rather it trend open than covert. If a manager wields it as a gotcha, that is a management failure no tool can fix. Letting the team see their own entry, or contest the evidence before the report sends, is on our roadmap for exactly this reason.
Today: Slack, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, and Discord for check-ins, plus GitHub and Linear for code and tickets. Calendar sync and WhatsApp are on the roadmap. The full, honest list of what is live versus coming is on the What we read page.
Most async standup tools just repeat what people type. Eodly weighs each claim against real evidence: a merged pull request, a moved Linear ticket, a live link, a screenshot read by AI vision. When the claim and the evidence agree, nothing is flagged. When someone has said "almost done" for three days and nothing has moved, the report shows the gap side by side, for you to judge.
No, and this is the failure mode we built against. Quiet in Slack or GitHub is not the same as silent to Eodly. Off-system work is captured by the check-in: your designer writes "reworked the onboarding flow in Figma," your salesperson writes "3 client calls, closed 2," and that counts, verified where we can (a link, a doc, a screenshot read by AI vision) and clearly marked self-reported where we cannot. Eodly never reads "no commits" as "not working." Silent and slipping are also deliberately different states: silent means no signal at all, no check-in and no activity, and it shows up as a gentle "worth a look," not an accusation, while slipping is narrow, a claim the evidence contradicts, like "almost done" with nothing moved in days. Anyone marked away is suppressed, and every flag is dismissible. Eodly surfaces the few things worth your attention; it does not police keystrokes.
Some of that is unavoidable with any measurement, but the design blunts it. Eodly is deliberately not a leaderboard and does not score volume, so there is no commit count to top and little payoff in padding one. What it does is put the claim someone made next to the evidence, so the way to "perform for the signal" is to make your claims true, which is just doing the work. You can fake visible activity, but faking work convincingly is usually more effort than doing it, and the failure Eodly actually targets is the opposite of gaming: progress reported that never happened. It does not make honesty automatic. It makes a quiet slip harder to hide, without watching anyone.
You choose the time and timezone per workspace in Settings. The default is 7 PM local. The report lands on your dashboard, and if you connect a chat channel, as a direct message too.
Yes. You create a campaign with deliverables and send the creator a magic link, so they need no account. They submit proof as a post URL that Eodly checks is live, or a screenshot read by AI vision. You approve, and they move to a payout-ready list. Eodly does not move money; you pay out manually.
Eodly stores only the check-ins and activity it needs to write your report, isolated per workspace with row-level security so one company can never see another company’s data. It reads the specific channels you designate, not your whole workspace. The Privacy and Data Processing pages spell out the details.
Connecting a chat platform and your code tools takes a few minutes. When you connect GitHub or Linear, Eodly backfills the last several days of history, so your very first report has real work in it instead of an empty page.
