Slack Integration
Bring your AI knowledge assistant directly into Slack. Answer team questions, search documents, and surface knowledge -- all without leaving Slack.
How it works with Slack
Four steps to deploy your AI knowledge assistant in Slack.
InfoLens for Slack
Create a new Slack app at api.slack.com/apps and install it to your workspace.
What you get
Knowledge at your team's fingertips, right where they already work.
@Mention the Bot
Invite the InfoLens bot to any channel and @mention it with a question. The bot replies in-thread with grounded answers.
Direct Messages
DM the InfoLens bot for private queries. Great for sensitive questions or personal research.
Thread Replies
Responses come as thread replies, keeping channels clean. Full conversation context is maintained within threads.
Source Citations
Every answer includes source citations linking back to the original documents. Your team can verify and explore further.
Multiple Workspaces
Connect each InfoLens agent to its own Slack workspace. Different teams can query different knowledge bases.
Quick setup
For developers: build a custom Slack bot with the TypeScript SDK.
// Using the TypeScript SDK in a Slack bot
import { InfoLensClient } from '@infolens/sdk';
const client = new InfoLensClient({
baseUrl: 'https://api.infolens.ai',
apiKey: 'pk_live_...'
});
app.message(async ({ message, say }) => {
const response = await client.agents.chat({
agentId: 'ag_7f3k9x2m',
apiKey: 'pk_live_...',
message: message.text
});
await say(response.answer);
});
