A daily piece of news or information, usually in the form of a status report. The company sends out a daily update to all employees on ongoing projects.
The app provides a daily update on its progress, letting users know that they’re still on track to meet their deadlines. The daily update also lets them see where they need to step up their efforts.
Daily updates appear as notifications on the user’s Assistant device, so it’s important to consider how this feature will be used and if it is the best fit for your Action. When a user invokes your Action with the daily update intent, they’ll receive a prompt to register their device for updates at a specific time each day. You can choose to include this registration prompt mid-conversation or use a suggestion chip when the user exits your Action successfully. If the user decides not to register their device for updates, they’ll be transitioned to a system scene that stops delivering the daily update notification.
When used effectively, daily stand-ups and weekly updates are powerful team-building tools that provide valuable feedback loops. Daily stand-ups allow teams to quickly ask quick questions and compare notes, while weekly updates encourage reflection and accountability. To get the most out of these meetings, it’s important to set expectations and structure them well. In the case of the daily stand-up, it’s typically helpful to have a physical space where everyone can gather and hold short, focused discussions.
