Joss for Slack
Joss is an AI assistant on your phone. Connect Slack and it finds and reads Slack for you, and posts only when you ask. On the go, just ask "What was decided in #sales today?" or "Draft a reply to Alex".
What it does
- Search and summarize messages, threads, files and canvases
- Catch up on unread messages and mentions of you
- Draft replies, then post or react after you confirm
- Create or update canvases, after you confirm
How to start
- Install Joss from the App Store
- In Joss, open Settings and sign in with Slack
- Choose your workspace and allow access (some workspaces need an admin's approval)
- Ask Joss about Slack in the chat
Every post, reaction or canvas change shows a confirmation in the app and happens only when you approve it. Joss never joins channels or sends notifications in Slack on its own.
