Question of the Day Generator
Random question for group chats and standups.
Every standup channel eventually runs dry of icebreakers. Pull from 90 questions split into work, fun, and deep — 30 each — and paste the pick straight into Slack or Discord with the copy button. Team leads use it for daily standup warmups, community mods for a question-of-the-day channel, and teachers for morning meetings. Per-category no-repeat memory stops last Tuesday's question resurfacing.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of questions are in each category?
Work covers career and workflow prompts like small wins and best advice; fun stays light with food, shows, and hobbies; deep asks reflective questions about beliefs, habits, and success.
How long before questions start repeating?
With no-repeats on, each category remembers your draws and only recycles after its 30 questions — or all 90 on Any — are used, roughly six work-weeks of daily questions.
What's the fastest way to post the question in Slack?
Click copy under the result and paste — the question comes over as plain text with no formatting to clean up. A CSV download is there too if you're planning ahead.
Should I use this or the icebreaker picker for my team?
Use the icebreaker picker for live meetings and workshops; this tool is built for a recurring daily post, with per-category no-repeat tracking and one-click copy.
Can I plan a week of questions in advance?
Yes. Draw five with no-repeats on — the memory guarantees no duplicates — and the history block keeps them all visible while you copy each into your scheduler.

A daily-question generator isn't just for the team channel. Here's how the 'deep' category becomes a manager's best warm-up for a one-on-one — and why the same question lands completely differently in private.
- Stop running out of questions for the team's daily channel
Every #random or #watercooler channel starts strong and quietly dies when the same person runs out of things to ask. Here's how a random question of the day — rotated across work, fun, and deep categories — keeps it going without anyone owning it.
