How Today I Learned works:
The Today I Learned template runs asynchronously in Slack to capture daily learnings from across your team.
Each teammate answers a short set of prompts to reflect on what they learned, share useful links, and flag open questions. Geekbot then compiles the responses into a single thread or dashboard view — making it easy for others to explore and learn from their peers.
