AI employees that work inside Slack
Mention an AI employee in any Slack channel and it gets to work with your tools, then posts the result in the thread for a person to approve.
A colleague you can mention
In Slack, your AI employee is just another member of the channel. Mention it with a request, and it does the work with your connected tools: creates the Asana task, pulls the HubSpot numbers, answers from Notion. Then it posts the result in the thread for someone to approve.
Because it all happens in a thread, everyone can see what was asked, what was done and who approved it.
Good first jobs in Slack
A morning metrics digest, turning channel requests into tracked tasks, and answering repeat questions from your docs. They're small, visible and easy to judge, which makes them good places to start.
Getting started with Slack
Connecting Slack is part of setup, not a project of its own. In the first meeting we look at how your team uses Slack today, pick the one job that wastes the most time, and agree who will own and approve the AI employee that takes it on.
From there you have two routes. On Platform your team builds its own AI employees after one onboarding call. On Managed, Switch runs a workshop, presents the plan to leadership, builds up to five AI employees, rolls them out and holds weekly implementation calls. You can try it first with a free test alongside a Switch team member.

Questions
Is it a Slack app?
Yes. Your AI employees appear as members you can mention in channels and threads.
Does a person still approve the work?
Yes. Every AI employee hands its result to a named person in Teams or Slack, who approves, edits or rejects it before anything is sent or changed.
Will AI employees replace people on the team?
No. They take repeatable work off the team's plate so people spend their time on judgement, customers and decisions.
How do we get started?
Start with a free test together with a Switch team member, then choose Platform to build your own AI employees or Managed to have Switch find, build and roll them out for you.
