Integrating Slack

You can integrate Slack with the platform to interact with agents directly from Slack. This allows you to use agent capabilities without switching tools.

You can chat with agents you have access to, including shared, organizational, or custom agents. Both direct messages and channel conversations are supported, giving you flexibility in how and where you work with agents.

Set up with ease

The integration is very easy to use and requires minimal setup (see section below). Use intuitive and simple text commands to get going.

Increase productivity with quality insights for communication

Quickly access super-powered AI tools without switching platforms thereby reducing interruptions and maintaining focus. Agents can assist in summarizing discussions, answering specific queries, and providing detailed insights into ongoing conversations.

Improve collaborations

Integration of the platform fosters improved collaboration enabling team members to leverage agent capabilities in real-time discussions.

Manage threads better

Involve agents in conversation threads. You can select multiple models to participate in a conversation thread to summarize the content or provide concise overviews. You can also pose questions based on the context of a thread to receive relevant responses from an agent.

How do I set up Slack for the integration?​

  • You must have Company Admin access.
  • You must be logged into Slack.
  1. On the left sidebar, click Organization > Integrations to open the Integrations page. Or, go to https://devs.ai/org-integrations.

Slack

The Devs.ai app will be available for the Slack org you selected. You can search and add it to your Slack workspace.

How do I use the app in Slack?​

Once the integration is complete, the app will show up in the list of apps in Slack. Start a conversation with the app by typing a message. The app lists all the public agents available on your account. Select an agent to get going.

You can also select specific organization-approved agents that you have created. To access a list of agents tagged as organizational, type in @DevsAI /orgAI. Similarly, to access the list of agents you’ve created, enter @DevsAI /myAI.

You can involve agents in conversations on public and private channels as well. Simply @mention Devs.ai in a conversation thread to include an agent. Agents can provide context-sensitive answers, relevant conversation summaries and a lot of useful insights.

Here’s a list of other commands you can use:

  • @DevsAI /askThread your-question - Ask a question about a conversation thread.
  • @DevsAI /threadSummary optional-describe-any-particular - Get a summary of the thread.
  • @DevsAI ask-your-question-anywhere - Get answers to your general questions.
  • @DevsAI /publicAI - Connect to a public agent and start a conversation.
