AI agents that work with your team in Slack

• Work in shared channels

  Agents reply where your team already talks, so everyone can see the work, add context and pick it up.

• Help in direct messages

  Message an agent one-to-one for research, a first draft or a quick analysis.

• Act across your tools

  Agents use the tools you connect in Vybe, like Google Workspace, HubSpot or Jira, with the permissions you choose.

• Report on a schedule

  Agents post recurring reports and updates to the channels you pick, on schedules your team sets.

In Slack, agents can read and send messages, share files, add reactions, create channels and canvases, and edit canvases and lists.

The Vybe app

An admin adds it once. It links your Slack workspace to your Vybe organization and comes with Vybe, a setup guide anyone in your workspace can message.

An app for each agent

Every agent you add to Slack gets its own app with the agent’s name and picture, so your team can @mention it like a coworker. The Vybe app creates and manages these for you: rename an agent in Vybe and Slack updates, delete it and its app is removed. If your workspace requires app approval, a Slack admin approves each agent first.

1. 01

   Sign up for Vybe

   Click Add to Slack and continue with your Slack account to create a free Vybe account. Already have one? Log in instead. Only Vybe organization admins can add Vybe to Slack. If you create a new organization, that’s you.

2. 02

   Meet your first agent

   Vybe sets up your first agent. You can change its name, picture and job at any time.

3. 03

   Click Add to Slack

   Choose your Slack workspace, review the permissions Vybe asks for, and click Allow. If your workspace requires app approval, Slack sends the request to your Slack admins.

4. 04

   Invite it to channels

   Pick the public channels your agent should join, or skip for now. To add it to a private channel later, type /invite @agent-name in that channel.

Add to Slack

You’ll sign up for Vybe with your Slack account first. Free to start, no credit card required.

• Direct messages

  Send an agent a direct message and it replies. You choose who can message each agent.

• @mentions and its name

  In a channel the agent has joined, @mention it or address it by name, and it replies there.

• Threads it’s part of

  Once an agent is in a thread, it replies when a message is meant for it, may add a reaction, and stays quiet otherwise.

• Nothing else

  Agents don’t respond to conversations they aren’t part of, and they ignore messages from other bots.

When it answers

By default, an agent joins in whenever it’s addressed: by @mention, by name, or in a thread it’s part of. Turn on Only respond when @mentioned under Contact restrictions and it answers only when someone @mentions it.

Read only

Set the agent’s Slack access to Read only, then add it to any channel. It can read the conversation and still replies where it’s asked, but it can’t post elsewhere, send direct messages, or create or change channels, canvases or lists.

Channels

Under Contact restrictions, let the agent work in Any channel it’s in, Specific channels only, or No channels.

Direct messages

Choose who can message it: Anyone, Org members only, Org domain only, or Off.

Tools

In the same Access tab, choose which connected tools the agent can use and what it can do in each.

Removing agents

To take an agent out of a channel, open the channel’s settings and remove it under Integrations. A Slack admin can remove the Vybe app and each agent’s app in Slack from Settings & administration → Manage apps.

What agents see

Only conversations they’re part of: channels they’ve joined, and direct and group messages that include them. A member of a private channel has to invite an agent before it can see that channel.

What Vybe stores

The Slack messages and files from those conversations, and the agents’ replies, so agents keep context and can pick up where they left off. Each agent also has a log of its Slack activity in Vybe, such as who asked for something and what they asked. People with access to that agent in Vybe can see it.

AI processing

To reply, Vybe sends the relevant messages to the AI model provider your organization uses, such as OpenAI, Anthropic or Google. We don’t use your Slack data to train AI models, and we opt out of providers’ model training.

Keeping and deleting

Stored Slack messages are kept until you delete the agent or your Vybe organization. When someone edits or deletes a message in Slack, Vybe updates or removes its copy. Removing Vybe from Slack doesn’t delete what’s already stored. Email support@vybe.build and we’ll delete it.

Security

Vybe is SOC 2 Type II audited, and your data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
