The Agility Agent brings your Agility coverage into Slack. Mention it in a channel or message it directly, and it replies in a thread with an answer drawn from your media coverage. Each person signs in with their own Agility account, and answers only include coverage that account can access.
š¹ What You Can Do
Search coverage across news, broadcast, blogs, press releases and social, filtered by date, media type, sentiment or location.
Get answers with sources. Each answer links to the articles it used, with the outlet and date.
Ask follow-up questions in the same thread, for example "narrow that to Canada".
Search the web for current events, or have it read a page you share.
Draft summaries, talking points or first drafts from what it finds.
š¹ Before You Begin
You'll need:
Permission to install Slack apps. This is a workspace admin, or a member if your workspace allows it. Some workspaces require admin approval.
An Agility account with agentic features enabled. If you're not sure, ask your account admin or Agility representative.
Social coverage (X/Twitter, Reddit, YouTube) depends on your account's provisioning.
š¹ How Setup Works
Install the app in your Slack workspace. This is done once per workspace.
Connect your Agility account. This is done once per person. When you first mention or message the app, it replies privately with a link to sign in to Agility. The link expires after 10 minutes. If it does, mention the app again for a new one.
Step-by-step instructions, with screenshots, are maintained in the Agility Developer Documentation so they stay up to date as the integration evolves.

š¹ Using the Agent
In a channel: mention @Agility Agent. The app has to be added to the channel first.
In a direct message: open the app from Agents & apps in Slack and message it. You don't need to mention it.
To follow up: mention the app again in the same thread.
Important: answers in a channel are visible to everyone in it, including coverage that only your account can access. Use a direct message for private searches.
