The nao Slack bot brings your analytics agent directly into Slack, allowing your team to ask questions and get insights without leaving their workspace.
nao Slack Bot Interface
When configured, the nao Slack bot:
  • Listens for mentions in Slack channels
  • Processes questions using the same agent as the web chat interface
  • Returns answers with SQL queries, data tables, and visualizations
