Jell is a team communication tool from Jell Technologies Inc. that automates daily standups and check-ins for distributed teams. Instead of gathering everyone for a live meeting, team members answer a set of questions on a schedule, and managers read the results in one place. The company positions the product around remote teams and groups working across different time zones.
Its stated aim is to give managers visibility into progress and accountability without the distraction of extra meetings. Beyond standups, Jell supports custom check-ins and, on higher plans, goals and OKRs, so a team can connect daily activity to longer-term targets.
A team lead sets a schedule for the standup, choosing any combination of days in a week or a specific date each month. The lead then writes the questions, using Text, List, Multiple Choice or Number formats. Once team members join, Jell sends them regular reminders to respond, so updates arrive without anyone chasing them.
Responses feed into real-time and historic views, which show what the team is working on now or what it finished in any chosen period. Updates can be published to a team chat channel, and the Slack bot allows people to submit answers without leaving Slack. Issues from a project management tool can be linked to add context.
The central feature is the automated daily standup, with flexible scheduling, custom questions and reminders. Check-ins extend this idea: teams and individuals can build their own, using templates, to collect metrics, prepare one-on-ones or share release management updates. Together they cover both quick daily updates and less frequent reporting.
Jell also offers goal tracking through OKRs, blocker identification and visibility across departments. Goals and OKRs let teams link daily activities to long-term objectives and follow progress. Private teams, available on Advanced and above, keep selected groups separate. Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations are included on every plan.
