Post updates to any channel
Email Carly and tell her to post something in a Slack channel — a meeting confirmation, a status update, or an announcement. She'll post it exactly where you say.
Send DMs to teammates
Ask Carly to DM a colleague in Slack with a reminder, a question, or a follow-up. Useful when you're on the go and don't want to open Slack.
Share meeting details with your team
After Carly schedules a meeting, ask her to post the confirmed time, attendees, and video link to the relevant Slack channel so everyone's in the loop.
Keep channels updated when plans change
If a meeting gets rescheduled or cancelled, tell Carly to post the update to Slack so no one misses the change.
Why teams use AI to post updates in Slack
Slack is where teams communicate, but keeping channels updated is a manual chore. After scheduling a meeting, you open Slack to post the confirmation. After a plan changes, you switch to Slack to let the team know. After closing a deal, you hop into Slack to share the news. Each of these takes only a minute, but they add up — and when you're busy, you skip them, and your team is out of the loop.
AI tools for Slack should close this gap by letting you trigger Slack messages from wherever you already are. If you're in email scheduling a meeting, the confirmation should go to Slack automatically. If you're texting your assistant about a plan change, the Slack update should be part of that same flow — not a separate task you have to remember.
How Carly works as your AI Slack assistant
Carly connects to your Slack workspace and posts messages on your behalf. You don't interact with Carly inside Slack — you email or text her, and she posts to the channel or person you specify.
This works especially well when Carly is already handling something for you. If she schedules a meeting, you can tell her to also post the confirmed time to #team-updates. If she reschedules, she can post the change to the same channel. If she logs a deal in your CRM, she can simultaneously drop the update in #sales. The Slack post becomes part of the workflow, not a separate step.
You can also use Carly to send DMs in Slack — reminders to a colleague, follow-ups, or quick questions — without opening the Slack app yourself.
Who uses Carly with Slack
Managers who need to keep their team informed but don't want to context-switch into Slack every time something changes. Remote team leads who use Slack as the single source of truth and need updates posted consistently. Anyone who's ever scheduled a meeting and then forgotten to post the details in the team channel — Carly makes that a one-step process instead of two.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI tool for Slack?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects to your Slack workspace and lets you post channel messages, send DMs, and share updates — all by email or text. Unlike Slack bots that work inside Slack, Carly works from outside it, so you can trigger Slack messages from wherever you already are.
Can AI post messages to Slack automatically?
Yes. With Carly, you can email her to post to any Slack channel — a meeting confirmation, a status update, a schedule change. She can also post Slack messages as part of a larger workflow, like posting the meeting details to a channel right after she schedules it.
How is Carly different from Slack bots?
Slack bots work inside Slack — you interact with them in channels or DMs within the Slack app. Carly works outside Slack. You email or text her, and she posts to Slack as one of many actions she can take. She can also update your CRM, check your calendar, and send emails in the same exchange.
Does Carly read my Slack messages?
No. Carly only posts to channels and sends DMs that you explicitly tell her to. She doesn't passively read, monitor, or analyze your Slack workspace.
Can Carly send Slack DMs to teammates?
Yes. You can ask Carly to send a direct message to a specific person in Slack — useful for scheduling reminders, follow-up nudges, or quick questions when you don't want to open the app.
Does this work with Slack Connect channels?
Yes. Carly can post to Slack Connect channels as long as the workspace integration has access to those channels.
