What it does
Lets anyone get a sourced answer without leaving Slack. A question posted to a watched channel triggers the agent, which researches both the open web and your internal Google Drive documents, then replies in the same thread with a concise answer where each point links to its source.
When to use it
When teammates keep asking questions in Slack that require digging through both internal docs and the web, and you want fast, grounded, cited replies instead of "let me get back to you."
How it works
- 1A message in a designated Slack channel triggers the flow.
- 2The agent searches internal documents in Google Drive for relevant context.
- 3Exa searches the web for current public sources.
- 4A logic step decides whether internal context alone suffices or web grounding is needed.
- 5OpenAI composes a concise answer, citing each claim to a Drive doc or web URL.
- 6The agent replies in the original Slack thread with the cited answer.
