The 02:14 deploy rolled back cleanly after a failed migration โ€” no customer impact. Here's a draft update you can post to Message OpenClaw ## Your Slack AI agent shouldn't live in a browser tab A browser-tab agent stops the moment you close the lid. You copy answers back and forth, lose the thread, and it's asleep when you need it at 2am. Your agent should be where the work already happens. ## What your Slack AI agent can do ### Talk to it like a teammate DM the bot or @mention it in any channel. It reads the message, thinks, and replies right in the thread. ### Always on, never sleeps Your agent runs on a hosted instance, so it answers overnight and keeps working long after your laptop is closed. ### Your keys stay in the vault Workspace tokens are encrypted at rest, message data is minimized, and we never use your Slack messages to train AI models. ### Live in a few minutes One click to add it to Slack, connect your instance, and start chatting. No YAML, no webhooks to wire by hand. Prefer to drive OpenClaw from Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT?

OpenClaw is an AI agent and can make mistakes. Verify important information and don't rely on its responses for professional, legal, or financial advice.

Click "Add to Slack" to authorize OpenClaw for your workspace, connect it to your OpenClaw instance, then DM the bot or @mention it in a channel. It replies in-thread, like a teammate. What's the difference between OpenClaw and Slack's built-in AI? Slack AI summarizes and searches your existing messages. OpenClaw is your own AI agent โ€” it runs its skills, holds a conversation, and takes actions on your behalf, powered by models like Claude. You bring the agent; Slack is where you talk to it. Does the Slack AI agent read all my messages? No. The app only receives direct messages to the bot and channel messages that mention it. It doesn't read your workspace history. Do I need an OpenClaw instance first? You can start by adding it to Slack โ€” we'll connect it to your instance right after. If you don't have one yet, you'll create it during setup. How much does it cost, and how do I remove it? Connecting to Slack is free; you pay for your OpenClaw instance (see pricing). Remove OpenClaw from your Slack workspace's app settings at any time, or disconnect it from your dashboard โ€” access ends immediately. ## Learn more about AI agents in Slack Guides and tutorials to help you get the most out of your AI agent in Slack.
