Stop scheduling, start reminding

Reminders are a new way to keep your team in sync, async.

The fastest way to cut meeting time isn't canceling meetings — it's replacing them with something that works better, and for most teams that starts with the daily stand-up. Teams using Carbon Voice for daily updates are already cutting meeting time by up to 60%.

The hard part was never the tool; it was the habit. Meetings are a forcing function, and when the calendar invite disappears, so does the nudge to actually share an update. That's what Reminders fix. Pair them with engagement stats and you have the nudge and the accountability, without the meeting.

How it works

A reminder posts a scheduled message into any conversation automatically. Your team gets notified, everyone responds when it suits them, and the update happens without anyone having to remember to start it.

How to set one up

It takes a few taps.

• New conversations — tap Reminders at the top of the conversation information block.
• Existing conversations — tap the conversation name to open Settings, scroll to Reminders, and create one there.

What teams are replacing

Daily stand-up. "What are you working on today?" — posts every morning at 9am.

Weekly 1:1. "How are you? Wins, blockers, and what do you need from me?" — every Friday afternoon.

Weekly kickoff. "What do you want to accomplish this week? Do you need anything from anyone?" — every Monday at 8am.

Week review. "What got done this week, and what's carrying over?" — every Friday at 4pm.

Client check-in. "Project status update." — the 15th of every month keeps stakeholders on a cadence.

Team rituals. Monday motivation, Friday wins, end-of-month reflections, appreciation callouts.

See it in action

We run our own daily stand-up async, same time every day, no meeting. You can see how it's set up and take the template: A better standup.
