Getting Started - Swa: All AI for One, One AI for All

Using Swa in Slack

Once Swa is installed in your workspace, you can interact with it in three ways:

Public Channels

Mention @swa in any public channel. The whole team can see and collaborate on responses. Custom agents are available here too.

🔒

Private Channels

Invite Swa to any private channel. Content stays isolated to invited members only. No cross-channel sharing.

💬

Direct Messages

Message Swa directly. No @mention needed. Messages are completely private to you.

Tip: Swa works with free Slack and Microsoft Teams plans. Some extended context features may be limited by free-tier policies of those platforms.

Build purpose-built AI assistants tailored to your needs. Creating an agent takes seconds:

Check existing agents by typing @swa list my agents to make sure your name is unique
Describe your agent with a clear purpose, focus areas, and communication style
Choose a model from: Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Grok (xAI), or others
Deploy with a simple command and start using it immediately

Agents can also be chained together. For example: @swa ask perplexity to research X and then use my SEO Writer to draft a blog post

Learn more about agents on our Agents page.

Be specific: The more context you give Swa, the better the response. Include relevant details in your prompts.
Choose your model: Specify a model when you need a particular strength (e.g., "ask claude to analyze this document").
Use agents for repetitive tasks: Create custom agents for tasks you do often so the AI already knows the context.
Verify important outputs: AI can produce inaccurate responses. For critical decisions, use multi-model comparison to cross-check results.
Start new threads: Very long conversation threads may hit context limits. Starting a new thread resolves this.

Single photo/file uploads are currently supported per message
Very long threads may fail due to context limits. Starting a new thread resolves this.
AI systems can occasionally produce inaccurate responses. Multi-model verification is recommended for critical tasks.
