Connect Your AI Agent to Slack
Add an always-on AI assistant to your Slack workspace. One-click OAuth setup.
What It Does
Once connected, your KiwiClaw agent responds to messages in Slack channels and DMs. Team members can @mention the agent to ask questions, request research, run code, or trigger automated workflows -- all without leaving Slack. The agent maintains conversation context, so follow-up questions work naturally.
Setup Process
- Open the Channels page in your KiwiClaw dashboard
- Click Connect to Slack
- Authorize the app via Slack's OAuth flow (select your workspace)
- Choose which channels the agent can access
- The agent is live immediately -- @mention it to start
Total setup time: under 60 seconds. No bot tokens, no webhook URLs, no API configuration.
Example Use Cases
- Team Q&A bot -- "What's our refund policy?" / "Where's the brand guidelines doc?" The agent answers from your knowledge base.
- Research assistant -- "Research the top 5 project management tools and summarize their pricing." The agent browses the web and posts a structured summary.
- Data on demand -- "How many support tickets did we close last week?" The agent queries your data and returns the answer with a chart.
