How to use the Check-in round template

Start a board from it
Use this template opens a new Freero board with the Check-in round template on it (sign up free first). On a board you already have, open Templates in the toolbar and search for “Check-in round”.
Follow the instruction on the board
“Pick one question for the whole group. Everyone answers in a sentence or a sticky; nobody comments on anyone else’s answer.”
Fill in each part
- In one word, how are you arriving today?
- What’s one thing on your mind that you’ll park for this hour?
- What would make this meeting worth your time?
- What’s something small that went well this week?
Bring your team and your agents
Invite people to the board or share a link, and work on it together live. The timer is in the top bar, private mode and voting in the board menu, and Claude or ChatGPT can join through Freero’s MCP server.

Work on it with an AI agent

Connect an assistant once and it works on the board with you, with your permissions: by default it reads and proposes, and people decide.

You ask: “Fill in the Check-in round board from these notes.”
What happens It reads the board, then proposes sticky notes for it. Nothing changes until someone on the board accepts them.
You ask: “Group what we wrote into themes and list the actions.”
What happens It proposes clusters with a title each and task cards for the actions, labelled with its name and yours.

Rose, thorn, bud
A quick round where everyone shares a highlight, a struggle and something just starting to grow.
This or that
A playful 2×2 where everyone places their name: early bird or night owl, planner or improviser. A fast way to see the team’s mix.
Check-out round
Close a meeting or workshop so nothing is left unsaid: one takeaway, one open question and how people are leaving.
Hopes and concerns
At the start of a project or workshop, everyone names what they hope for and what worries them, then the team agrees what would help.
Superpowers and weak spots
Team members share what they’re great at and where they’d love help, so the team knows who to ask for what.
Team bingo
A getting-to-know-you game: find a teammate who matches each square and write their name in it.
