Overview

Teamate lives in your Slack workspace and is always watching. You can interact with it directly via DM, mention it in any channel, or have it proactively chime in on group discussions. Here are the most common ways people use Teamate.

​
DM with Teamate

For private, focused conversations, DM Teamate directly. Teamate treats every DM as a one-on-one conversation and uses your workspace instruction, your meeting memory, and any authorized integrations to answer. DM with Teamate You can ask Teamate anything — from quick lookups to multi-step requests like drafting a document, querying a database, or scheduling a meeting.

​
Group discussions

In Smart mode, Teamate actively listens to conversations in channels and chimes in when it has something useful to add — without needing to be @-mentioned. In Explicit mode, it responds only when mentioned. Group discussion In both cases, Teamate anchors its responses to the actual conversation happening in the thread, citing relevant prior context or meeting notes when it has them.

​
Recall context from past conversations and meetings

Teamate maintains memory across your Slack channels and meeting recordings. Ask it about anything that’s been discussed — it will search back through prior threads and meeting summaries to find a grounded answer. Recall contexts Example: 
@Teamate what did we decide about the onboarding flow last week?
Teamate returns a sourced response with links to the relevant threads or meeting notes.

​
Take actions on your behalf

When you ask Teamate to do something that requires a tool (like creating a GitHub issue, sending a calendar invite, or sending an email), Teamate will ask for your approval first. Take actions on behalf of users The approval card shows:
  • What tool Teamate wants to use
  • Exactly what parameters it will pass (e.g., issue title, body, assignee)
  • Approve / Reject buttons
Click Approve to proceed, or Reject to cancel. Teamate then posts the result directly in thread.
Tools that only read data (like search) run automatically without asking for approval.

​
Set reminders

Ask Teamate to remind you or a teammate about anything — it will schedule the reminder and confirm in thread. Set reminder Example: 
@Teamate remind me tomorrow at 9am to follow up with the Acme Corp team
Teamate will set the reminder and send you a Slack message at the scheduled time.

​
