What is the Joshu Slack Bot connection?

Joshu connects to your Slack workspace as a dedicated bot integration through Composio-managed OAuth. It posts announcements, watches authorized channels, and drafts in-thread replies. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a custom bot script you have to host and maintain yourself.

Is my Slack data secure?

Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Messages Joshu reads stay in that private sandbox. Joshu only accesses channels where the bot is invited, and your data is never used to train public AI models.

Will Joshu post to public channels without asking?

By default, no. Outbound channel messages and announcements wait on Joshu's desk for your sign-off before posting to Slack. You control when and where the bot speaks.

What can Joshu access via the Slack Bot?

Only the channels, threads, and direct messages where the bot has been explicitly invited. It cannot read uninvited public or private channels, nor can it view workspace admin settings.

What is the difference between standard Slack and Slack Bot?

The standard Slack connector allows Joshu to assist you privately in DMs and research your messages. The Slack Bot integration gives Joshu a visible identity in team channels to post team briefings and coordinate group work.

Do I need a paid plan?

Joshu is $95 a month with a simple flat rate. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, eight-level cortex memory, and all tool connectors, including the Slack Bot. Works with both free and paid Slack workspaces.

Connect Joshu to Slack Bot

Connect Joshu's dedicated bot to Slack so channel alerts, automated team updates, and thread summaries run without manual messaging.

Slack Bot

“Post our daily deployment recap into the #releases channel.”

Joshu formats release notes from merged PRs and posts the announcement once you approve.

“Watch #customer-leads and notify me when an enterprise prospect asks for a demo.”

Joshu monitors the channel, extracts contact details, and leaves a notice on your desk.

“Draft a response in the #partnerships thread explaining our referral terms.”

Joshu reads the conversation context, drafts the explanation, and waits for your confirmation.

Connect a dedicated Slack Bot so Joshu can share team updates and coordinate work directly inside public channels.

What Joshu does

Joshu acts as an interactive teammate inside the channels you specify. It can post scheduled sprint briefings, monitor alert channels for high-priority leads, and draft replies in discussion threads for your review before posting.

What you do

Install the Joshu bot to your Slack workspace using OAuth. Invite the bot to the specific team channels where it should operate. Approve proposed channel announcements and thread replies from Joshu's desktop.

Why it sticks

When everyone works in Slack, broadcasting important updates by hand takes time away from deep focus. Joshu drafts and posts status announcements directly where your team already collaborates.

Permissions and limits

Joshu operates strictly within channels where the bot has been invited by a team member. Workspace administrators control app installation permissions. Access can be revoked anytime from Slack app management.
