Slack /ask bot

Wire one agent to your Slack slash-command. Search the web, summarize, post back. Pay once at the org level.

Cost~$0.005 per /ask
Operations
web_search.querytext_generation.generate

Prerequisites

  • Slack app with a /ask slash-command pointing at your webhook.
  • One agent for the whole org. No per-user keys.

Walkthrough

1. Receive slash command

Slack POSTs {user_id, text} to your handler. Respond 200 within 3s, then do the work async.

2. Search + summarize

One web_search.query → one text_generation.generate. Wire them server-side; never expose AGENT_KEY to Slack or the browser.

3. Post back

Use Slack's response_url to post the summary into the channel. Done.

Next steps

Audit every call at /audit-logs, watch spend at /usage, and tune budgets per service on the agent's page.
