Working with the user's data

Zeplik chat has no live workplace connectors. When a step below expects system data, ask the user to paste the relevant export or upload the file, then proceed the same way.

If the user can share source control data (paste or upload):

  • Pull recent commits and PRs (opened, reviewed, merged)
  • Summarize code changes at a high level

If the user can share project tracker data (paste or upload):

  • Pull tickets moved to "in progress" or "done"
  • Show upcoming sprint items

If the user can share chat data (paste or upload):

  • Scan for relevant discussions and decisions
  • Flag threads needing your response

Tips

  1. Run it every morning — Build a habit and never scramble for standup notes.
  2. Add context — After I generate, add any nuance about blockers or priorities.
  3. Share format — Ask me to format for Slack, email, or your team's standup tool.
