What It Reads

What ZenSearch indexes from Slack.

Channel Messages & Threads

Every message and threaded reply is indexed with full conversational context. ZenSearch understands which messages are part of the same discussion.

Shared Files & Documents

Files shared in Slack channels — PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and documents — are extracted, parsed, and made searchable alongside the conversation.

Date Range Filtering

Configure sync windows to index recent conversations or your full history. Filter by date range to control what enters your search index.

Reactions & Signals

Message reactions are captured as relevance signals. Highly-reacted messages surface with higher priority in search results.

Channel Selection

Choose which public and private channels to index. Exclude noisy channels like #random while indexing high-value channels like #engineering-decisions.

Incremental Updates

New messages are picked up automatically on each sync cycle. Deleted messages and edited content are reflected in the index.

Agent actions

What the coworker can do in Slack.

Beyond search, it can take action in Slack. Every write is risk-tiered and gated behind human approval, and connected credentials are required.

Post & update messages

Send messages to channels, update a message it already posted, and send ephemeral messages visible to a single user.

Reactions & pins

Add or remove emoji reactions and pin important messages to a channel.

Direct messages

Open a direct message to a user — useful for targeted notifications and approval prompts.

Setup

Up and running in three steps.

Connect

Authenticate your account and select the resources to index. ZenSearch handles OAuth, API keys, and enterprise SSO.

Index

ZenSearch parses, chunks, and vectorizes your content. Incremental sync keeps everything up to date automatically.

Delegate

Your coworker searches, answers, and acts across this source — with permission-aware results and governed actions.

In Practice

Questions your team can finally ask.

Once Slack is connected, your team asks in natural language and gets cited answers — and governed action — instantly.

"What was the consensus on the new pricing model?"

ZenSearch surfaces the relevant thread from #product-strategy where the team discussed and agreed on the pricing change, with links to the original messages.

"Who shared the Q3 sales deck last month?"

Finds the file share event and the surrounding conversation, so you get both the document and the context around why it was shared.

"What workarounds did the team use for the auth timeout bug?"

Aggregates messages from #engineering and #support where team members described their workarounds, returning a synthesized answer with citations.
