  </Step>
</Steps>

### Permissions

| Permission      | Why It's Needed                                |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Read messages   | To understand questions and context            |
| Send messages   | To respond to your questions                   |
| Access files    | To analyze uploaded spreadsheets and documents |
| Search messages | To find relevant conversations when asked      |

## Capabilities

Adapt can chat directly in Slack. Send messages, search conversations, and get
answers without leaving your workspace.

### Chat Directly in Slack

This is the only integration where you can have a full conversation with Adapt without opening the web app:

* **Direct messages** to @Adapt for private questions
* **Channel mentions** to share insights with your team
* **Thread replies** to maintain context in discussions

### Examples

Ask questions in Slack:

```
@Adapt What's our current MRR from Stripe?
```

Analyze files:

```
@Adapt Analyze this spreadsheet [attach file]
```

Search conversations:

```
Search Slack for discussions about the new feature launch
```

Post summaries:

```
Post a summary of this analysis to #engineering
```

Schedule reports:

```
Every Monday at 9am, post a weekly sales summary to #sales-team
```

### Proactive responses

Adapt doesn't have to wait for an @-mention. Set a plain-English **trigger mode** on any channel or thread and Adapt will decide on its own when to chime in:

```
@Adapt respond to any top-level message reporting a bug.
```

See the [Slack app docs](/platform/slack-app#proactive-responses) for the full setup, available modes, and example policies.
