Why stand up when you can sit down?Stand ups are very inefficient in some companies and the context switching is killing productivity for people on a maker's schedule. To combat this I'm developing Sitdown, where employees conduct a standups with an AI and this gets summarized into a dashboard where the team and management has visibility into what's being worked on.With this tool we can make sure teams are working on what they should be increasing visibility while increasing productivity for people on a maker's schedule. What are your thoughts?

Could you build this?
Partial The web dashboard and voice LLM check-in are straightforward, but the autopilot feature that runs a local desktop daemon to capture active window titles, git commits, and tickets requires specialized cross-platform OS integration.
What it would actually take: The application needs a frontend web dashboard (React/Next.js), a cloud backend with Whisper/voice APIs and LLM summarization, and a native client daemon (Rust/Tauri or Go/Electron) running locally on user machines. The hard part is the cross-platform native agent capturing active window titles, keyboard/workspace states, and developer tool logs across macOS, Windows, and Linux while handling OS permissions and privacy boundaries securely. Building this requires native desktop systems development alongside LLM pipeline orchestration.
