Quick summary for Slack teams
Q is an AI-driven assistant built specifically for Slack that leverages the GPT-3.5 model to streamline routine work. It helps with generating contextual replies, organizing tasks, and fetching information directly within Slack conversations.
Main features and what it can do
- Provide concise answers and information on a wide range of topics when asked.
- Create, update, and manage task lists to help keep your channel organized.
- Respond in-thread when you mention @Q so it can use the surrounding conversation for context.
Installing and getting started
To start using Q, add the Q app to your Slack workspace, then invite it into the channel or direct message where you want assistance. Once installed, mention @Q in a thread or message to invoke its features.
Trial access and billing
Q offers a seven-day trial that does not require a credit card, so teams can evaluate its capabilities before subscribing.
Data handling and retention
When @Q is mentioned, it reads the entire thread to produce coherent, context-aware responses. Messages are not permanently stored by the service; however, content is retained for 30 days for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.
Limitations and platform notes
- Q is available only within Slack — there is no standalone or cross-platform client.
- There are no user-configurable privacy settings available at this time, which may be a concern for sensitive workflows.
Suggested alternative
