How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

Connect

Connect via OAuth in 30 seconds. Grant read access to channels and message history, write access for posting and thread replies. Improvado never stores message content, only metadata and analytics.

Ask

Ask natural questions like 'Which channels mention our competitor most often?' or 'Show me all unresolved threads tagged urgent in the last 48 hours' or 'How many messages in #sales mention deal delays?'

Act

The agent posts summaries to channels, creates threads with analysis, sends direct messages to team members, archives inactive channels, and updates channel topics with fresh metrics. All actions require your approval first.

AI Agent Access

Your agent doesn't just read Slack — it maps collaboration to business outcomes.

Read

Reads channel activity, message volume, participant counts, thread depth, reaction patterns, keyword mentions, file shares, and time-series engagement across your workspace. Pulls metadata only—never stores full message content.

Write

Posts messages to channels, creates threaded replies, sends direct messages, updates channel topics, archives channels, invites users to channels, and sets reminders. Executes bulk operations like cross-posting reports to multiple channels.

Monitor

Watches for keyword triggers, unusual activity spikes, channels going silent, specific user mentions, reaction thresholds, thread abandonment, and SLA breaches on response time. Alerts you when patterns match your defined conditions.

AI agents query message volume, channel participation rates, and response times directly from Slack Analytics. They identify communication bottlenecks, correlate team activity with project delivery metrics, and surface productivity patterns across departments. Ask which channels drive fastest decision-making without exporting admin reports.
