Slack AI assistant
Your Slack AI assistant, inside ChatGPT and Claude
Link Slack once, then ask ChatGPT, Claude or any AI app that supports MCP to catch you up, find old messages and draft replies. Nothing is sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No install. Every send needs your OK.
What your AI can do with Slack
ConnectChats gives your AI app a small set of tools. These are the ones it uses with Slack, and only for the chats you share.
-
See your chats
Your AI lists the Slack chats you shared, unread first, so it knows where to look before it answers.
list_chats -
Read a conversation
Ask about one chat and your AI reads what you have not seen yet, or goes further back when you need the history.

Catch you up
Get the short version of a busy chat: what was decided, which questions are open and what needs your answer.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
Search your Slack history by word, name or topic. Your AI quotes the message and tells you which chat it came from.

Draft replies
Your AI writes a reply in the chat's language and your tone. It is saved as a draft you can read and edit.

Send with your OK
Approve a draft and ConnectChats sends it from your own Slack account. Auto-send only runs in chats where you turn it on.

Use Slack in these AI apps
One ConnectChats account works in every AI app below. Link Slack once and use whichever AI you prefer.
How to link Slack
You do this once. The same link then works in every AI app you add ConnectChats to.
-
Link your Slack account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then Slack.
- Sign in to your Slack workspace with your own Slack account.
- ConnectChats lists your channels and direct messages, and you choose which ones to share with your AI app.
- To add another workspace, repeat the sign-in for it.
-
Add ConnectChats to your AI app
Add it as a connector in ChatGPT or Claude, or as a remote MCP server in Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. The server address is https://api.connectchats.com/mcp.
-
Pick the chats your AI can see
Share every chat or only a few. Your AI never sees the rest, and you can stop sharing a chat at any time.
Slack in ConnectChats
ConnectChats links to Slack when you sign in to your workspace from the ConnectChats dashboard. Your AI app sees the channels and direct messages your own account can see. ConnectChats does not install a bot in your workspace or read channels you are not in.
- Direct messages, group messages and the channels you belong to are supported, including thread replies.
- Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent.
- On Slack's free plan, Slack only shows the last 90 days of messages, so older ones cannot be imported either.
- Messages your AI app sends go out from your own Slack account, after you approve them.
- The free plan links 2 chat apps and keeps messages for 30 days.
Questions
Can I use AI with Slack?
Yes. Link Slack in ConnectChats, add ConnectChats to your AI app and ask about your chats. It works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, and Muse.
Does my AI read all my Slack chats?
No. It sees only the chats you share in your ConnectChats dashboard, and it reads them only when you ask something that needs them.
Can the AI send Slack messages without me?
Not by default. Your AI saves a draft and you approve it before it goes out. You can turn on auto-send for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Which AI apps work with Slack?
Any AI app that can add a remote MCP server, including ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, and Muse. Your ConnectChats account and your shared chats are the same in all of them.
How are my Slack messages stored?
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app. No card needed.
Does my Slack admin need to approve ConnectChats?
ConnectChats signs in as you rather than installing an app in the workspace, so there is nothing for an admin to add. Some companies forbid third party clients in their policies, so check yours before you link a work account.
Does it see private channels?
Only the ones you are a member of, because it sees what your own account sees. You still choose which channels are shared with your AI app.
