AI assistant for Slack
Connect Joshu to Slack so channel discussions, decision threads, and team asks turn into clear briefs, tasks, and follow-ups.
Then $95 a month with no token fees, no resets, and no caps.
What you can ask Joshu in Slack
You: Catch me up on what the product team decided while I was offline.
Joshu summarizes channel discussions and key decisions into one concise brief instead of making you scroll back.
You: Turn this Slack thread into a tracked ticket with context attached.
The decision leaves the channel and lands on your project board, waiting on Joshu's desk for your sign-off.
You: Brief me on my 2pm call with Sam using our recent Slack conversations.
Joshu reviews your recent channel exchanges with Sam, pairing them with calendar context in a pre-call summary.
Briefs, asks, and follow-ups can move from a Slack thread onto Joshu's desk and back.
What Joshu does
Joshu reads the channels you connect, captures decisions, and turns them into mail, tasks, and files on its desktop. Shared knowledge folders can answer questions inside a private Slack channel from the files you dropped in. Approvals can land in a Slack DM if that is how you work.
What you do
Install the Joshu Slack connection and invite Joshu to the channels that matter. Keep informal channels and private DMs disconnected if you prefer. Point Joshu at a channel when you want file-backed answers from a shared folder.
Why it sticks
If the company talks in Slack, the assistant should hear it and still remember it next week.
Permissions and limits
Joshu only sees channels where it is a member. It cannot read workspace history from before it was added unless Slack's API allows export of that range. Workspace admins control installation.
What can Joshu do here?
Joshu reads Slack with the OAuth scopes you approve, drafts work on its desk, and waits for your sign-off before anything sends or posts.
Joshu vs Slack's built-in AI
Built-in assistants usually live inside one app tab. Joshu keeps email, calendar, files, and Slack in one persistent memory so follow-ups do not reset every session.
Frequently asked questions
Joshu joins the Slack workspace you authorize and reads channels where it is invited. It captures decisions, turns threads into mail and tasks, and answers file-backed questions from folders you share. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a chatbot that forgets yesterday's standup.
Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Messages and files Joshu reads stay in that private sandbox. Joshu only sees channels where it is a member, and your data is never used to train public AI models.
By default, Joshu captures and drafts rather than broadcasting. Outbound mail and sensitive sends can wait for your approval in a Slack DM. You decide which channels Joshu may reply in and which actions need a human yes first.
Only workspaces and channels you connect and invite Joshu into. It cannot read private DMs, channels it was never added to, or workspace history from before it joined unless Slack's API allows that range. Workspace admins control installation.
Slack AI summarizes inside the app you already have open. Joshu is a teammate with its own computer, long-term memory, mail, calendar, and files. It turns channel decisions into follow-up across tools and tracks commitments days later instead of stopping at a one-paragraph summary.
Joshu is $95 a month after a 14-day free trial. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, persistent memory across your tools, and all tool connectors, including Slack. There are no surprise usage tiers or seat markups.
