We work with the Standuply Teams scrum bot on a regular basis. In my experience regular asynchronous standups may turn into status updates and team may feel the monotony. So we combine async/face-to-face formats but still with a Standuply bot. We set up this bot so that it collects an agenda before a meeting, and then sends everyone a link to this meeting, which is also held through scrum bot and at this face-to-face meeting, all team members can see the prepared agenda on their screens and talk on topic. At offline meetings, we sometimes run the Standuply automation of a Planning Poker or demonstrate graphs and analytics collected from task trackers. That fills live meetings with visual point.

Very powerful to figure out what your users think of your products. Ideally use as early as possible in the product-development lifecycle!
