Slack
What it does
Scan channels, summarize threads, manage reactions, and configure Slack integration with privacy-aware context sharing.
Setup required
Slack Bot + App tokens. Say “Set up Slack.” Creates a Slack app with Socket Mode.
Permissions
- Slack Bot Token + App Token
- No macOS permissions needed
Common prompts
| You say... | What happens |
|---|---|
| “What happened in #engineering today?” | Scans and summarizes channel activity |
| “Summarize that thread about the API migration” | Thread-level summary with attribution |
| “React with 👍 to Sarah's message” | Adds emoji reaction |
| “What are the most active channels this week?” | Channel activity digest |
| “Set up channel permissions for #general” | Configures tool access per channel |
Configuration
- Per-channel permission profiles let you control which tools are available in which Slack channels
- Socket Mode means no public webhook URL needed
Tips & gotchas
- Privacy guardrails. The assistant won't share Slack context outside Slack without explicit instruction.
- Thread attribution. Thread summaries include attribution so you know who said what.
- Channel permission profiles. Use them to restrict sensitive tools in public channels.
