Staying up to speed
Your Daily Digest
Steady is all about giving you and your team maximum context for minimum effort. That first part — maximum context — is what Steady’s Daily Digest is all about. It’s a personalized noise-free feed of context-rich summaries and updates, pushed to you automatically.
So instead of sitting through a bunch of meetings, tools, and hunting for information, you just… read your digest.
Your digest includes two key types of content; daily check-ins from your team, and weekly/bi-weekly/monthly goal updates from any goals that you're involved in.
Check-ins and goal updates work at different "zoom levels", but both cover what happened, and critically, what's next. Everything you need to keep in tight sync with your teams, and informed about what's going on around you without getting buried in noise and unimportant details.
Team-level progress at a glance
Steady uses the inverted pyramid approach extensively to help you get up to speed quickly. One of the ways that takes shape in the Daily Digest is with Team Highlights; AI-enhanced summaries that distill everyone’s intentions down to single sentences and roll up activity across the team. They stay pinned above all the check-ins for a given team so that you always have the bigger picture before you start getting into the details.
When you are ready to focus on the details, you can click through to a focused view of all the check-ins involved.
Staying in sync on your top initiatives
Steady’s Smart check-ins keep individual teams in tight sync, but keeping multiple teams aligned and working in the same direction is hard. The bigger you grow, the more you suffer from lost focus, low visibility, misalignment, infighting, etc.
Steady’s Live Goals solve these common problems by putting cross-team coordination on autopilot. Here’s how they work:
- 🎯 Build a structured set of Live Goals — assigning owners, contributors, and the teams involved for each — to build a canonical source of truth for who’s doing what and why.
- ⏰ Goal owners get reminders to post progress updates on a regular cadence. Updates collect confidence, progress, and a quick written update for instant-read and in-depth progress snapshots.
- 📢 Goal updates are automatically delivered to all of the teams and people involved, via their Daily Digest, team chat, and/or email.
The end result is a live 30,000ft view of plans and progress, and a simple, reliable, noise and meeting-free way for teams to coordinate with each other.
Quickly see what a team or person has been up to
Your Daily Digest is where relevant updates get delivered to you, but if you're looking for specific information, Steady has a variety of views to help.
- Teams & People is a directory of profiles that are one-stop-shops for everything that's going on with that team/person.
- Insights gives you a way to see check-in trends over time.
- Activity lets you drill down into specific types of integration and app activity.
You can just directly to any profile or any view from anywhere in the app by pressing / and typing the name.
Maximizing context, minimizing noise
Are you the CTO but interested in what’s happening in Marketing? You can follow other teams and Live Goals in Steady to get updates without being a member of that team or goal.
When you follow a team or Live Goal, you’ll see its updates in your Daily Digest and receive notifications by email/Slack/MS Teams, just like the teams you’re a member of. No more searching around for information or context. You’ll automatically have everything you need to stay up-to-date and aware of what’s happening at your company.
