You don't need to open leep every morning to think of something new to ask your team - leep handles this for you. leep doesn't send the same question twice. It starts from your original “root” question, then evolves to ask different questions and different follow ups across your team, based on the context they share with you. A single leep question can keep producing new angles and insights for weeks and months, learning from what your team shares back with you.
We recommend creating a new leep when something changes: a new project, a new market, a decision you need input on. You can also create one off leeps to get instant bursts of information from multiple people without chasing them in an email or message.
How often are leeps sent?
leeps can be set up as once off or recurring. Once off leeps will send once, then automatically archive. Recurring leeps can be set to daily, weekly or monthly frequencies, and can be set to expire on a particular date if you only want to run a leep for a specific period. If you want a leep to run indefinitely, select Ongoing.
When to use Ask instead of creating a new leep
Every leep you run adds to your Team Memory, which is essentially an archive of every response, across every leep, across every Team. That archive compounds over time which means the longer you use leep, the more of your Team's thinking is already sitting there. You can ask questions from your Team Memory using the Ask page.
Use Ask when
You want to know what your Team has already said about a topic.
You want the history: how something has tracked over the past few weeks, or the past few quarters.
You need context before a meeting, a review or a board update.
You're checking whether something has come up before, and who mentioned it.
Create a new leep when
Something has changed. A new structure, a new process or a new deadline makes past responses less useful.
You want a fresh perspective, not a summary of what's been said.
The topic is new and Ask comes back thin, which means the Team Memory doesn't hold much on it yet.
An example
Ask "what has the Product Team mentioned about the release process this quarter?" and you'll be able to see a pattern from the responses you already have. If you've just changed the release process, create a new leep instead to ask "how is the new product release process going?" The Ask page will tell you how the old process was going, not how the new one is landing.
