**Summary**
This article provides instructions on how to connect and use an AI-powered bot within your Slack workspace. It explains how to ask questions and get instant answers, streamlining your team's workflow.

**When to Use This**
Use this guide when you want to integrate the AI bot with your team's Slack workspace to get quick answers without leaving the application. This is useful for improving efficiency and accessing information directly within your communication channels.

**Step-by-Step Instructions**
1. Select the "Add to Slack" button to start the integration process.
2. Follow the on-screen prompts to authorize the connection to your Slack workspace.
3. Type `@BotName` followed by your question in a channel to get an AI-powered answer.
4. Use the `/invite @BotName` command in a channel to allow the bot to post answers directly there.
5. Reply to the bot’s answer in a message thread to ask follow-up questions without mentioning the bot again.

**Common Questions (FAQs)**
Q: How do I ask the bot a question?
A: To ask a question, mention the bot by typing `@BotName` followed by your query in any channel where the bot is present.

Q: Why isn't the bot answering in a specific channel?
A: The bot needs to be a member of the channel to respond. You can add it by using the command `/invite @BotName`.

Q: Do I need to mention the bot for follow-up questions?
A: No. When you reply in a thread to an answer provided by the bot, it will understand and respond to your follow-up questions without needing another mention.

**Troubleshooting Tips**
- If the bot does not respond, double-check that you have spelled its name correctly, including the "@" symbol.
- If you are unable to add the bot to a channel, you may not have the necessary permissions in your Slack workspace. Contact your workspace administrator for assistance.
- Ensure the bot has been successfully added to your Slack workspace. If not, try the installation process again by clicking the "Add to Slack" button.
