Your AI employee,
inside Slack.
Ako joins your Slack workspace as a teammate. DM it a task or @-mention it in a channel, and it does the work on its own cloud workspace, then replies with files, summaries, and updates right where you asked.
Ako's responses are AI-generated and may sometimes be inaccurate or incomplete. Review its outputs before acting on them or sharing them outside your team.
What it looks like in Slack
Three ways teams put Ako to work, straight from the Slack client they already have open.
Direct message
You
Pull last week's signups from HubSpot and post the daily totals here when you're done.
Ako
On it. I'll grab signups from Nov 24 – Dec 1 and reply with totals plus a breakdown by source.
Channel mention
You
@Ako can you summarise yesterday's support tickets from Intercom and drop the top 3 themes here?
Ako
Pulled 47 tickets from yesterday. Top themes: shipping delays (18), login issues (9), refund requests (6). Full breakdown in thread 👇
Files in thread
You
@Ako build the weekly sales deck from Shopify and post it here.
Ako
Done. Posted weekly-sales-2026-W23.pptx in the thread. Revenue is up 12% WoW. Slide 4 has the breakdown.
How it works
Ask in Slack
DM @Ako or @-mention it in any channel it's been added to. Describe the task in plain English. No templates, no commands to memorise.
Ako does the work
Ako runs on its own cloud workspace. It pulls data from your connected tools, writes code, browses the web, and generates files, without leaving the conversation context in Slack.
Replies in thread
Ako posts results in the thread: summaries, files, charts, or follow-up questions. You review the output, ask for changes, or hand it off to a teammate, all without leaving Slack.
What teams use Ako for in Slack
Teams start by handing Ako a task and end up giving it a standing role. It works on its own, keeps the right people posted in Slack, and checks in when it needs a decision. A few of the jobs teams give it:
Ask in any channel and get it done
@-mention Ako in #ops or #sales: pull a number, draft a reply, build a quick report. It answers in thread, the easiest way to start.
Monitor your channels
Add Ako to a channel and it follows the conversation, steps in to summarise, draft a reply, or route an issue, and flags the ones that need a person.
Push status before you ask
Ako posts the update without being asked and pings the channel the moment a deal or a delivery is slipping, so nothing waits for someone to look.
Give Ako a standing role
Make Ako your team's ops coordinator: it keeps the project tracker current, nudges owners in Slack for what's missing, and DMs you to decide when something's stuck.
Getting started
Signing up is self-serve and takes minutes. Our team is happy to help if you want a hand in setting everything up. The full path from signup to working in Slack:
Sign up
Sign up with your email. Takes about a minute.
Connect Slack
Right after signup, click "Add to Slack" to connect your workspace. One click, standard Slack OAuth.
Pick your channels
Choose the channels Ako should join. Ako only sees messages in channels it has been added to, and you can change this anytime in settings.
DM or tag Ako
DM Ako or @-mention it in a channel to hand off a task. Want it to chime in on its own? Turn on proactive responses in settings.
About Ako's AI responses
Ako is powered by large language models, and like all AI, it can sometimes get things wrong. Here's how we ask teams to work with it.
Review before acting
AI-generated responses may sometimes be inaccurate or incomplete. Treat Ako's output as a starting point. Review reports, drafts, and data summaries before sharing them or making decisions based on them.
You stay in control
Ako only joins channels you invite it to and only acts on requests from your team. You can review what it's done at any time, ask for changes, or correct course mid-task.
Your data, your rules
Slack content Ako reads stays within your team's isolated workspace and is never used to train AI models. Disconnect the integration any time to revoke access.
