<Warning>
The Slack bot is deprecated.
New Slack bot installations are not available. Existing Slack bot integrations continue to work.
</Warning>
The Slack app adds a bot to your workspace that supports your community with real-time answers. The bot uses the Mintlify assistant to search your docs and provide accurate, cited responses, so it is always up-to-date.
The bot can only see messages in channels you specifically add it to. It does not have global read access to your workspace.
The bot responds to `@` mentions or to all messages in a specific channel that you configure.
Each message sent by the bot counts toward your assistant message usage.
## Create an `#ask-ai` channel
To help your users quickly get answers to their questions, the bot can reply to every message in a channel that you choose. By default, the bot replies to every message in channels named `#ask-ai`. Create an `#ask-ai` channel and let your users know that the bot replies to messages in that channel. See [Create a channel](https://slack.com/help/articles/201402297-Create-a-channel) in the Slack Help Center for more information.
