Q, ChatGPT for Slack ChatGPT within your Slack workspace for secure and collaborative AI interaction.

What is Q, ChatGPT for Slack?

Q brings the power of large language models like ChatGPT directly into the Slack environment, allowing teams to leverage AI within their existing communication platform. It operates securely within the workspace, ensuring data privacy as it does not store or learn from user conversation data. Q enhances collaboration by making AI interactions shareable and observable within Slack channels or direct messages.

A key capability of Q is its on-demand ability to read and process information from various URLs and file types. This includes general web links, specific platforms like arXiv and YouTube, authenticated sources such as Google Workspace apps (Docs, Sheets, Slides) and Notion, as well as diverse file formats like Audio, Video, PDF, Images, Office documents (Excel, PPT, Word), Text, CSV, and Code. Furthermore, Q supports Custom Instructions, enabling teams to define specific rules, guidelines, or templates. This ensures the AI generates responses tailored to the team's needs for tasks like drafting emails, creating content, translating text, coding assistance, and generating reports.
