Slack & Teams

Message your assistant right where your team already works, no separate app needed.

If your company uses Slack or Microsoft Teams, your assistant can join you there too. No new app to download, no extra tab to keep open — just message it the way you'd message anyone else on your team.

Getting connected

This is set up once for your whole company, not something each person turns on for themselves. Your org's admin or IT team connects your assistant to your company's Slack or Teams workspace, and after that, everyone at the company can use it right away.

If you try to message your assistant in Slack or Teams and nothing happens, it probably just hasn't been connected yet. Ask your admin or IT team to set it up.

Talking to your assistant

Once it's connected, there are two easy ways to reach your assistant:

• Send it a direct message, the same way you'd DM a coworker.
• Mention it in a channel when you want it to jump into a conversation.

Either way, it responds just like it would in the app. You can ask it to schedule something, draft a message, look something up, or handle a task — all without leaving Slack or Teams.

Nothing happens without your OK

Using your assistant in Slack or Teams doesn't change how careful it is. Anything with a real effect — sending a message, booking a meeting, making a change — still gets held for your review first. Your assistant will show you exactly what it's about to do and wait for you to approve it, the same as it would anywhere else. Nothing gets sent or booked just because it was asked for in a chat message.

See the dispatch cart guide for more on how approvals work.

Why this is handy

You don't have to switch tools to get things done. If Slack or Teams is already where you spend your day, your assistant can just be part of that — no separate app to remember, no extra login, no context switching. Ask it something the moment it comes to mind, right in the conversation you're already in.
