Using Search Copilot is a free, convenient, and powerful way to up your Slack game. After setting up the integration, you'll be able to search, ask questions, and submit prompts to receive answers generated using not only your Slack messages, but also your meetings and any other integrations you have enabled for Search Copilot. And with Read's Slack app, you can do this all directly from within Slack.
It only takes a few steps to set up:
-
Connect "Push to Slack" from your Integrations page.
- This must be enabled under "Your Integrations" (i.e. at the user-level) to properly pair your Read account with your Slack account. It will not work if you only have the "Workspace" integration connected.
- Connect "Slack Sync to Read" from your Integrations page.
- While this isn't technically required to use Search Copilot from Slack, you will need this if you want your results to include your Slack messages. Otherwise you'll only be searching over your meetings and other connected integrations.
-
Add the Read AI Slack app to your Slack home tab.
-
Click on "Add apps" under the Apps section in Slack's left side menu:
-
Find and click on Read AI from the list of apps (you may need to search for it):
- You'll now be able to find the Read app in your apps section:
- Alternatively, you can go to https://slack.com/marketplace/A04UUCUGESK-read-ai and click on "Add to Slack" and then "Open in Slack".
-
Click on "Add apps" under the Apps section in Slack's left side menu:
And that's it! Now you can navigate to the "Messages" tab of the Read app and start to ask questions and make searches with Read. Just send your query to Read in the chat and Read will reply back with an answer.
