To use Langdock in Slack, the Langdock app must be installed in your Slack workspace. This can only be done by a workspace admin following the steps detailed on the Slack Bot integration page.
Afterwards, make sure that you have the app installed in your account. It should appear in the “Apps” section at the bottom left. If it’s not installed, please click on “Add apps” to add the app to your Slack account. Check if successfully installed if the Langdock App appears in the Apps section in Slack

​
Basic Usage

The Langdock Slack Bot gives you full access to Langdock models and Assistants directly in Slack. Once installed, you can interact with it by:
  • Tagging @Langdock in any channel where the app is a member
  • Sending a direct message to @Langdock (find it under “Apps” in your left sidebar)
After tagging @Langdock or messaging it directly, the bot responds in a thread where you can choose your default model or any Assistant. The default model comes from your workspace settings or your personal preferences in Langdock Preferences. Tag @Langdock to call the App Click on answer with "Model" or select an Assistant

​
What does the Slack Bot see?

The Langdock Slack Bot only sees messages in threads where it’s tagged or messaged directly. This is by design for privacy, it doesn’t monitor other channel messages or threads. To ensure the bot sees a specific message, tag it in that same thread. In the example below, the bot can see and translate the previous message because they’re in the same thread: Example transition in the same thread

​
Using Assistants

You have access to all Assistants available in your Langdock workspace. After tagging @Langdock or messaging it directly, search and select any Assistant as shown below. The Assistant will respond using all its knowledge and capabilities. Access to Assistants from the App

Continue conversation in Langdock

By default, Slack Bot messages don’t appear in your Langdock message history. To continue the conversation in Langdock, click “Continue conversation in Langdock” in any bot reply. This opens the conversation in your browser, picking up exactly where you left off in Slack.
While you can see what the bot replies to other users in Slack, you can only continue your own conversations. To join an existing thread, send a new message in that thread.

Web search, data analyst, image generation

The Slack Bot has identical capabilities to the Langdock web app. You’ll get the same results whether you’re using Slack or the web interface. Example of the App using Web Search

Images and documents

The Slack Bot handles images and documents just like the web app. Attach any file to your message and the bot will read and analyze it. Example of the App reading through a shared file and giving back a summary
