Your OpenClaw AI agent, now in Slack
Add OpenClaw to Slack and talk to your always-on AI agent like a teammate — in DMs, channels, and threads. No new app to learn, no context lost switching tabs.
Free to connect · Works in DMs and channels · Uninstall anytime
Your Slack AI agent shouldn't live in a browser tab
A browser-tab agent stops the moment you close the lid. You copy answers back and forth, lose the thread, and it's asleep when you need it at 2am. Your agent should be where the work already happens.
What your Slack AI agent can do
Talk to it like a teammate
DM the bot or @mention it in any channel. It reads the message, thinks, and replies right in the thread.
Always on, never sleeps
Your agent runs on a hosted instance, so it answers overnight and keeps working long after your laptop is closed.
Your keys stay in the vault
Workspace tokens are encrypted at rest, message data is minimized, and we never use your Slack messages to train AI models.
Live in a few minutes
One click to add it to Slack, connect your instance, and start chatting. No YAML, no webhooks to wire by hand.

Is a Slack AI agent safe in your workspace?
Least privilege by design
The app only sees direct messages and the channel messages that mention it — not your whole workspace history.
Encrypted and short-lived data
Tokens are encrypted; message logs are minimized and retained for 30 days, then deleted.
No training on your data
We never use your Slack messages to train AI models.
OpenClaw is an AI agent and can make mistakes. Verify important information and don't rely on its responses for professional, legal, or financial advice.

Slack AI summarizes and searches your existing messages. OpenClaw is your own AI agent — it runs its skills, holds a conversation, and takes actions on your behalf, powered by models like Claude. You bring the agent; Slack is where you talk to it.
No. The app only receives direct messages to the bot and channel messages that mention it. It doesn't read your workspace history.
You can start by adding it to Slack — we'll connect it to your instance right after. If you don't have one yet, you'll create it during setup.
