# superbot in Slack

Mention it in a channel or message it directly.
Your own agent answers, with your tools and your history.

[Get the app](https://superbot.gg/download?cta%5Fid=page%5Finstall) [try it in your browser, no account](https://superbot.gg/chat)

## What it does

- Answers an `@Superbot` mention in a channel, a direct message and the `/ask` command.
- Posts a message to a channel, or sends one person a direct message, when your agent is asked to.
- Starts a cloud run on a project when the mention names it, such as `[repo=my-app]`.

## Connect it

1. Link the superbot desktop or phone app to your account once. That makes the Recovery key Slack needs.
2. [Connect Slack](https://superbot.gg/account/connect/slack) while signed in to superbot. Choose your workspace and allow it.
3. Add Superbot to a channel, or message it directly. Anyone else in the workspace connects with their own account.
