Made for the person using it.

StandIn works for the person whose name is on the answers. Everything else follows from that.

The promise

Your time, protected.

Your StandIn is on when you're off, and off when you're back.

Every answer carries your name and points to the work it came from.

Your call, always.

You choose what your StandIn can see and speak about, and you can change it anytime.

It never guesses.

No answer in your work means "I don't know," plus who to ask. That honesty is what makes the rest believable.

Is the Q3 report ready to go out?

SStanding in for Sarah

Yes, the final version is in the shared drive. Priya's numbers landed this morning, so it's good to send.

Where did we land on the new pricing?

SStanding in for Sarah

Approved Tuesday: the new tiers go live March 1. Sarah drafted the rollout note; it's linked in her brief.

@standin What did Sarah think of the vendor proposal?

SStanding in for Sarah

That isn't in Sarah's work. Priya reviewed the proposal; ask her.

I only answer from what was published in briefs and connected tools.
Five principles
  1. 01

    You're always the author.

    Every answer traces to something you wrote, with your name and the time you wrote it.

  2. 02

    It knows only what you share.

    Connected tools, read-only, chosen by you, changeable anytime.

  3. 03

    It never guesses.

    No answer in your work means "I don't know," plus who to ask. That honesty is what makes the rest believable.

  4. 04

    Not knowing is an honest answer.

    A tool that's right 90% of the time and invents the other 10% can't be trusted with your name. Yours won't.

  5. 05

    Your work carries on. You log off.

    The whole point.

The waiting ends.

Your StandIn switches on when you're off: meetings, lunch, evenings, holidays. It switches off the moment you return, and everything it said is waiting for your review.

See it keep its word.
