How to Set Up and Use Your Collato Slack Assistant

To take advantage of the powerful Collato Slack Assistant, follow

these step-by-step instructions:

1. Requirements: Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
   • Access to a Collato organization and at least one populated workspace with relevant content.
   • Access to a Slack organization and permissions to add a Slack app.
2. Create a Workspace in Collato: It is highly recommended to create a workspace in Collato and populate it with relevant content before setting up the Slack Assistant. The workspace will serve as the knowledge source for the assistant.
3. Authorize Collato Access: Go to your Collato Integration Settings and find the Slack option. Click on "Connect" to initiate the authorization process. A pop-up window will appear, asking for permission to access your Slack organization. Allow the authorization and remain on the same window.
4. Select Collato Workspace: After authorizing Collato, you will be prompted to select the Collato workspace you want the Slack Assistant to pull information from. Choose the desired workspace and click "Confirm."
5. Open Slack and Use /collato Slash Command: Now that you have set up the Collato Slack Assistant, you can open your Slack organization and start using it. Simply type the /collato slash command in any channel or direct message to initiate a query or request.

With the Collato Slack Assistant, you can perform the following actions:

• Ask a Question: Use the /collato slash command followed by your question to receive relevant answers from the assistant. For example: /collato Where can users find more information about the roadmap?
• Prompt a Summary or Tweet Generation: You can request the assistant to generate a summary or tweet about a specific topic. Use the /collato slash command followed by your request. For example: /collato Write a summary about suggested connections. or /collato Create a tweet about the next release.

Current Capabilities and Limitations

We want to provide a clear understanding of the capabilities and limitations of Collato Slack Assistant:

• On Slack, you can initiate the assistant by using the /collato slash command.
• In the next release, you will have the ability to configure the assistant to auto-reply to all messages in a channel, ensuring a seamless and proactive user experience.
• All generated responses are based on the information available within your selected Collato workspace. The assistant does not scan public information outside of the workspace.
• The assistant can create derivative content based on the existing information in your workspace. However, if there is no supporting evidence, the assistant will not be able to create new content purely from imagination.
• Multiple Collato users within one organization can authorize the Collato Slack Assistant to different Slack organizations.
• In one Collato organization, you can only select one workspace as the knowledge source for your Slack assistant. If you share the Collato organization with team members who want to add the assistant to multiple Slack organizations, note that all the different Slack organizations will have access to information from the same workspace.
• Only one instance of the Collato Slack Assistant can be active in one Slack organization at a time.
