An AI agent that keeps up with Slack so you do not have to.
Connect Slack and an OpenHelm agent can read the channels you scope it to, summarise what happened, answer or escalate questions, and post updates from your other jobs. Recurring schedules mean the digest is there before you are.
Recurring jobs
What an OpenHelm agent can do with Slack.
Each of these runs as a scheduled, self-correcting job: you describe it in plain English, approve the plan once, and an independent evaluator checks every run against the goal.
Daily channel digest
Summarise the channels you care about into one morning message or email: decisions made, questions still open, and anything that mentions your team.
Support-channel triage
Watch a #support or #help channel, classify new questions, draft suggested answers from your docs, and flag the ones that need an engineer.
Job results posted to Slack
Have any other OpenHelm job, such as a weekly report or a monitoring run, post its structured result into a channel when it completes.
Unanswered-message sweep
On a schedule, find questions in shared channels that never got a reply and compile them into a follow-up list for the owner.
Get started
Connect Slack in minutes.
- 1
Connect Slack
Add Slack under Connections in the OpenHelm app and complete the hosted sign-in, or mint a connect link programmatically with POST /v1/connections/links.
- 2
Describe the job in plain English
Tell OpenHelm what you want done and how often. It drafts a plan with a schedule, the tools it will use, and a clear definition of done.
- 3
Approve the plan
No job fires until you have reviewed the plan. Set the autonomy level to control whether writes execute directly or queue for your approval.
- 4
It runs, self-checks and reports
Runs execute in isolated cloud sandboxes on schedule. An independent evaluator scores each run against the goal, and results arrive as logs, emails or data-table rows.
For developers
Or provision the connection over the API.
curl https://api.openhelm.ai/v1/connections/links \
-H "Authorization: Bearer oh_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "provider": "<provider id>", "name": "Slack" }'
# → a short-lived hosted link; open once to authorise, then
# poll GET /v1/connections until it shows as authenticated.
# Provider ids are listed in the Connections API docs.The same connections back runs started over REST. See the AI agent API and the Connections API docs.

Put an agent to work in Slack this week.
Connect once, describe the job, approve the plan. From then on it runs on schedule, checks its own work, and reports back with evidence.
