Spinach AI
An AI scrum master that runs standups and writes the notes.
About
Spinach acts as an AI scrum master for engineering teams: it facilitates daily standups with a visible agenda and timer, takes notes automatically, generates summaries with decisions and action items, and suggests Jira ticket updates based on what was discussed. Summaries post to Slack or email instantly.
It handles both live and async standups, and the Starter plan is free with unlimited meetings. The product is clearly aimed at agile dev teams — non-engineering teams will find less to grab onto — and full transcriptions require the $49/month Pro plan.
