# Use Agents Right Where Your Team Talks. No App Switching. No Context Lost.

Kollab Bot brings AI Agents into your IM tools. Ask questions, look up info, trigger tasks — without switching windows.

## 3 Steps. Bot Goes Live Instantly.

No development needed. Add Kollab Bot to your IM platform, connect your workspace, and your team can start using it immediately.

1. **Choose Your IM Platform**  
   Add Kollab Bot to your Slack workspace or Telegram group.

2. **Connect Your Workspace**  
   The Bot connects to your Kollab workspace, accessing docs, knowledge base, and project context.

3. **Start Chatting**  
   @Bot in any channel or DM. The Agent responds instantly based on your workspace content.

## A Team Member That's Always Online  
Everything your team needs to know — one @mention away. No switching apps, no losing output to chat history.

01. **Use Agents Right in Your Chat**  
   No app switching. @Bot in Slack or Telegram — ask about project status, check task progress. The Agent responds instantly based on your workspace data.

02. **Answers Grounded in Your Workspace**  
   The Bot connects to your Kollab workspace and knows your project context and documents. A teammate asks "What's our pricing plan?" — the Bot pulls the answer straight from conversation memory.

03. **Results Sync Back to Your Workspace**  
   What the Bot does in chat doesn't disappear into chat history. Reports, summaries, and analysis sync automatically to your workspace. Everyone on the team can see and edit them.

04. **Scheduled Updates — Bot Comes to You**  
   Combine with scheduled tasks. The Bot posts updates to your channel on a schedule — daily industry news, weekly digests. Important info finds you — you don't have to go looking for it.
