Why AI Answers?

Questions repeated can waste resources. AI agents in your Slack can autonomously suggest answers by referencing existing knowledge sources and delivering suggestions to the relevant team members privately, ensuring time savings and improved response accuracy.

Setting Up AI for Suggested Answers

1. Create an AI Agent

Connect Knowledge Sources: Link the AI to FAQs, manuals, etc.
Write Simple Instructions: Direct the AI with clear guidelines.
Ready to Go: With sources and instructions connected, the AI is set!

2. Connect the AI Agent to Slack

Using Runbear, you can invite the AI Agent to your Slack workspace with just simple clicks. You can use @Runbear or custom name.

3. Configure Trigger Settings

Go to Assistants -> Channels -> Trigger page.
Enable "Trigger on User Mention" for AI responsiveness.

4. Invite the Slack App to Channels

Invite the AI app (@Runbear or custom) to selected channels for proactive assistance. You can just mention the app or type /invite @YourAppName in the channel.

Testing and Enjoyment

Test your AI agent by mentioning a team member in the channel and asking a question it can handle.
