HowsThisGoing was a Slack bot for asynchronous standups: it prompted each team member on a schedule, collected written updates and posted AI summaries, with weekly and monthly rollups, plain-English questions over past updates and GitHub activity folded in. It was built and run by a single developer, Kanishk Razdan, from 2023. The service shut down on 29 September 2026; standups stopped, the bot was removed from every workspace, and the site now carries only a closing note.

How we collect these records

Editorial verdict

Pros & cons of HowsThisGoing

high confidence

HowsThisGoing closed on 29 September 2026: standups stopped and the bot was removed from every Slack workspace, so there is nothing left to sign up for. While it ran it was a Slack standup bot with AI digests and a GitHub link, built and sold by one developer; teams still looking should go to Geekbot, Standuply or DailyBot.

Pros

Runs entirely inside Slack, no second tool to open
AI summaries at thread and channel level
GitHub activity folded into updates on the top tier
Free tier available to trial the flow

Cons

Shut down on 29 September 2026; the Slack bot no longer runs anywhere
Slack only while it ran, with no Teams, Discord or standalone web app
$30/month was high next to free standup bots

Best for

Distributed teams across time zones
Slack-first engineering teams
Managers who want a written record of daily updates

Not for

Teams on Microsoft Teams or Discord
Anyone needing full project tracking rather than check-ins

Watch out: The service is closed; the maker keeps existing data and sends a copy on request by email, so former users should export before relying on that offer.
