Everyone deserves a representative at work.
For as long as most of us have worked, being good at your job has meant being reachable. A question lands at 22:00 and you answer it, because otherwise someone waits until morning. Executives solved this long ago. They have someone who can answer for them. Almost nobody else does.
StandIn gives everyone that someone. Your StandIn is your personal work representative, built from your own work and available 24/7. It is always labeled as yours. It answers what it can, says so when it can't, and never does anything in your name. Your team stops waiting for morning, and you get your evenings back.
We think this is where work is going. Being responsible for something will stop meaning being online for it.
Parker Miller, Co-founder and CEO
The old way and the new way
| Question | The old way | The new way |
|---|---|---|
| Who can be reached | Only people who are online | Everyone's work, at any hour |
| Who gets a representative | Executives, through an assistant or chief of staff | Everyone on the team |
| What happens at 22:00 | You answer, or someone waits until morning | Your StandIn answers, or tells them who can |
| What "responsible" means | Always reachable | Your work is reachable; you are not |
Why now
To be good at your job, you had to be reachable. 85% of workers get work messages outside standard hours at least a few times a month. (SurveyMonkey, Workplace Culture and Trends, 2025)
Across time zones it gets worse: real-time communication drops 9.2% for each extra hour of time difference. (Chauvin, Choudhury and Pan Fang, Organization Science, 2024)
Executives always had someone who could answer for them. BLS data implies fewer than 1 in 300 US workers has an assistant. (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2023)
The market's answer was more AI that does more things you then have to check. Among AI users, 77% say the tools added to their workload in at least one way. (Upwork Research Institute, 2024)
