Slack (beta)
By GitBook
Ask questions, get answers and add information to your GitBook knowledge base, right in Slack.
Overview
With the GitBook Slack integration and GitBook’s Pro plan, your teams have instant access to your GitBook knowledge base, and can get AI-summarized answers about your content. Plus, if you solve a problem in a thread, you can ask GitBook AI to summarize it into useable documentation.
Head to our documentation to find out more.
Note: The Slack integration’s AI features use GitBook AI, which is only available for users on our Pro or Enterprise plans. If you’re on the Free or Plus plan you’ll need to upgrade to Pro to continue using GitBook AI features in Slack. Visit our pricing page to learn more.
How it works
Find information faster: Getting an answer has never been easier. Just summon our Slackbot and ask a question — GitBook AI will scan your documentation and summarize an answer in seconds.
Turn conversations into documentation: Just solved a problem in an epic, 168-message thread? Ask GitBook AI to summarize the conversation and it’ll save it to your knowledge base so anyone can find out how you go there.
Real-time notifications: Get notified in real-time when something important happens with your GitBook content — from small updates to someone publishing a space. You choose what you get notifications for, and where you’ll see them.
Configure
First, you’ll need to enable GitBook AI for your organization. Open Settings > Organization Settings and toggle it on in the General section. GitBook AI is available to teams on a Pro or Enterprise plan.
To install on a single space, click Integrations in the sub-nav within the GitBook app. Alternatively, you can install it across all your spaces in Settings.
Once you’ve installed it, head over to Slack and authorize the connection. You can select a default channel to post notifications and other messages, but remember — you can summon GitBook in any channel or thread.
If you already have the Slack integration installed, you’ll need to uninstall and reinstall to get the latest features.
