Can AI Search Slack To Answer A Question For Me?

Yes. Jarvis (getjarvis.eu), the screen-aware desktop AI assistant, can search your Slack and answer questions from what it finds. Press Cmd+/ on macOS or Ctrl+/ on Windows and ask something like 'what did we decide about the pricing change?' Jarvis searches your channels, reads the relevant messages and threads, and gives you a direct answer with the source messages cited, instead of a list of search hits you still have to read. It can also pull from Notion, Google Drive, or Linear when the answer spans tools. Reasoning runs on frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. It searches only what your OAuth scopes allow, tokens are AES-256-GCM encrypted on EU GDPR-aligned infrastructure servers, and nothing trains the models. Free to start, then $16/month.

Slack's own search returns a list of messages and leaves the synthesis to you. Jarvis closes that gap: it runs the search, reads the top matching threads, and composes an actual answer. Ask 'what's the status of the launch?' or 'did we agree to refund that customer?' and it returns the conclusion plus the messages it relied on, so you can verify. This turns a five-minute scroll-and-skim into a single question. If the channels disagree or the answer is uncertain, Jarvis says so rather than fabricating confidence, which keeps you from acting on a misread.

Many questions are not fully answered inside Slack. The decision might be in Slack but the spec is in Notion, the file in Google Drive, and the ticket in Linear. Because Jarvis connects to all of these, it can answer across them: it finds the Slack discussion, then pulls the linked doc or issue to complete the picture. You can ask it to reconcile, for example, whether what the team said in Slack matches what the Linear issue says, and it will compare the two sources and report the difference.
