FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my Geekbot responses?

    No. The AI only reads the reports to summarize them. It cannot edit or delete any existing standup entries.

  • 02

    Does the AI post these summaries back to Slack?

    No. The AI provides the summary directly to you in your AI client. It does not send messages to your team channels.

  • 03

    Can I ask about standups from last week?

    Yes, as long as those reports are available in your Geekbot history for the AI to read.

  • 04

    How does the AI know which team to look at?

    You tell the AI which team or channel to focus on in your prompt.

  • 05

    Can the AI schedule standups for me?

    No. This MCP is designed for reading and summarizing existing data, not for configuring Geekbot settings.
