UPDATE 🚀: We've received feedback about difficulties using Somi, To use Somi bot, you’ll first need to invite it into the channel. You can simply mention @Somi and click on invite to channel! 🙌🏼 Hello Product Hunt community! I'm excited to announce the launch of Ask Somi, an artificial intelligence Slack bot that answers any workplace questions you have. 💡 We want to change how people extract information in organizations. As knowledge workers, we process increasing amounts of information as our organizations grow, but we have not changed the techniques we use to gather information. We think that AI can improve this process. We're building an AI tool as our first project that integrates into workspaces. Somi will land first on Slack and comes with 2 commands: 🪄`/digest` command gives you a summary of all the conversations or a summary on a specific topic within a time window in a slack channel. 🙋🏻‍♀️`/asksomi` command allows you to ask any question, and Somi will answer as accurately as it can based on contents in the slack channel. ⏩ In the future, we want to expand to other workspaces (Confluence, Microsoft Teams, etc.). 🚀 I hope you find our product helpful and would love to hear your feedback! Thank you for checking out Ask Somi 🙌🏼 P.S. Somi is free to install and no credit card is required. Since we're still in beta, we will be limiting installs to the first 50 users.

@hubert_chan1 We're so excited to share this product with everyone! Our philosophy is that AI will be commonplace soon, and we want to apply this technology in a useful context. Getting our first batch of users and feedback are critical to helping us understand the problems face so we can reiterate and improve on our product. Any feedback will be greatly welcomed!

I really can see how Somi can make my return from vacation smoother. But I do have a concern: information shared in some Slack channels are confidential. What are your security and privacy settings?

@paola_german That's a great question! Somi only has access to the channels that you add it to and cannot access messages it is not supposed to. Additionally, it does not store any messages and all messages are queried again whenever a Somi command is run. Additionally, Somi uses ephemeral messages which are only available to the user who runs the command. Let us know if you have any other suggestions!

@zenghoulim thanks for the details, can't wait to try it out!

💡 Bright idea
I can definitely see this being really useful in time-sensitive situations, e.g. oncall war rooms where we need quick status updates for people that just joined the channel. Looking forward to seeing progress on this!

@daniel_seetoh Thank you for the comments! We're happy to hear that you saw the value of Somi in time-sensitive situations. It's an intriguing use case that we have seen before and would love to try out, maybe work something out like a live feed feature to give people who have just joined the channel quick status updates. What do you think? @zenghoulim

Interesting us of AI to navigate the wealth of infomation found in day to day conversations
Zeng

@beaumont_phua Yeah, often times we find ourselves asking the same questions over again but isn't it better when we can get them from existing messages?!

@beaumont_phua thank you, Beaumont! AI will definitely change how we work and help us navigate past and present conversations more easily!
