Standin
“An AI body double that attends your Zoom standups for you. Your face appears. Your problems don’t.”
The Problem
The average IC attends 12 standups/week, of which 11 could have been a Slack message and 1 could have been a long, restorative nap. Yet skipping is “weird.” Cameras must be on. Faces must nod.
The Solution
Standin spins up a photorealistic AI doppelgänger that joins your Zoom, nods at appropriate intervals, and delivers a tidy 14-second update auto-generated from yesterday’s git commits and one Linear ticket you definitely moved.
