Send messages and manage channels hands-free

What You Can Do

  • Send messages — To channels or DMs, edit existing messages, delete messages

  • Reactions — Add emoji reactions (Unicode or :name: format), list reactions on messages
  • Pins — Pin/unpin messages, list all pinned items in a channel
  • Threads — Create threaded discussions from messages
  • Search — Full-text search across channels and guilds
  • Member info — Get user profile details by ID
  • Custom emoji — List all custom emoji available in the workspace

    • Try Asking

  • "Send a message to #engineering saying the deploy is complete"
  • "Read the last 50 messages from #general"
  • "React with checkmark to that message"
  • "Pin the message about tomorrow's meeting"
  • "Search for 'database migration' across all channels"
  • "Create a thread on that message to discuss further"
  • "List all pinned items in #team-sync"
  • "Get member info for user U12345"
