Pick someone at random in Slack

Free1,557 impressionslaunches Nov 24

Eeny is a Slack bot that picks team members at random — so you don't have to. Whether you need to assign a code reviewer, choose who leads today's standup, or just decide who's making the coffee, Eeny keeps the process fast, fair, and entirely inside Slack. Pick from any Slack channel or build custom lists for specific purposes. Just type @Eeny pick in any channel to select someone at random, or pick from a custom list with @Eeny pick from reviewers. Eeny also works with Slack's built-in user groups for teams that already organise their people that way. Eeny notifies the picked person directly, tracks selection history so everyone gets their turn, and works with Slack's /remind command for fully automated picking — no extra tools, no context switching. Need more control? Eeny Pro adds a fairness algorithm to balance picks over time, the ability to pick multiple people at once with `@Eeny pick 2 reviewers`, and a handful of other features to make picks work exactly the way your team needs. From engineering standups to lunch rota disputes — if your team needs to pick someone, Eeny handles it.
