Your second brain and agent, in Slack
YouSpot keeps the people, mail, notes and companies you deal with. The Slack app lets you ask about them where you already work, saves the channels you choose, and lets your agents act on what happens there.
Needs a YouSpot account. The Messages tab assistant needs a paid Slack plan.
Ask it anything in the Messages tab
Open YouSpot in Slack and ask a question. It answers from your own material: the people you know, the mail you have sent, the notes you keep, and the Slack channels you chose to save.
The answer streams into the conversation, takes a thumbs up or down, and says that it is written by AI and can be wrong. This tab is the Slack AI app surface, which needs a paid Slack plan.
Mention @YouSpot in a channel
Mention @YouSpot with a question in any channel it has been invited to, and the answer is posted in that thread. This works on every Slack plan, free ones included.
Save the channels you pick, and only those
Invite @YouSpot to a channel, then switch that channel on in YouSpot. From then on its messages arrive in your Second Brain, searchable next to everything else you keep.
Nothing is saved until you switch a channel on, and switching it off stops new messages at once. Saving a channel’s earlier history is a separate choice, one channel at a time.
YouSpot links explain themselves
Paste a youspot.com link into Slack and it becomes a card saying what the object is, who wrote it and when, with a button to open it in YouSpot.
Hand a thread to one of your agents
A YouSpot cloud agent can run on a saved message, a mention, or a reaction. React :memo: to a thread and the agent reads it, writes up what was decided and what is still open, links the people in it to your network, and replies in the thread with the note.
Install YouSpot in Slack
Installing links a Slack workspace to your YouSpot account, so the Add to Slack button lives on your Integrations page.
- Create a YouSpot account or sign in. Plans are on the pricing page.
- Open Integrations, then Slack, and click Add to Slack.
- Choose your workspace and approve the install. You land back in YouSpot with the workspace connected.
- In Slack, invite the app to a channel with
/invite @YouSpot. The channel shows up in YouSpot within a minute, switched off. - Switch on the channels you want saved. Then message YouSpot from its Messages tab, or mention @YouSpot in a channel.
Before you install
The assistant needs a paid Slack plan
The YouSpot assistant in Slack’s AI app container (the Messages tab and side panel) is only available on paid Slack plans. On a free Slack plan everything else still works: answers to @YouSpot mentions in channels, saving the channels you choose, link previews, and agent triggers.
AI can be wrong
YouSpot uses AI to write its answers, summaries and notes, and they can be inaccurate or incomplete. Every answer in Slack says so. Check anything that matters before you act on it.
Your Slack data stays yours
YouSpot reads only the channels you switch on and your own conversations with it. Saved messages are visible only to you, or to the members of a shared space you connected from. Slack data is never used to train AI models. Disconnecting deletes the stored tokens, and deleting your YouSpot account removes everything.
How the app collects, uses and stores Slack data is set out in the Slack Data section of our privacy policy. Questions go to support, and use of the app is covered by our terms.
