    How to Build an AI-Powered Slack Bot with Vincony API

    Build a Slack bot that answers questions, summarizes channels, and runs AI tasks — all powered by Vincony's unified API.

    Slack Bot Integration

    Why Build an AI Slack Bot?

    Your team already lives in Slack. An AI-powered bot brings code review, content generation, research, and analysis directly into your workflow — no context switching needed.

    Quick Setup

    import vincony
    from slack_bolt import App
    
    client = vincony.Client(api_key="YOUR_VINCONY_KEY")
    app = App(token="xoxb-YOUR-SLACK-TOKEN")
    
    @app.message("hey bot")
    def handle_message(message, say):
        response = client.chat.complete(
            model="gpt-5",
            messages=[{
                "role": "user",
                "content": message["text"]
            }],
            system_prompt="You are a helpful team assistant."
        )
        say(response.content)
    
    @app.command("/review")
    def handle_review(ack, command, say):
        ack()
        review = client.code.review(
            code=command["text"],
            model="codestral",
            severity_threshold="warning"
        )
        say(f"*Code Review:*\n{review.summary}")
    
    app.start(port=3000)

    Channel Summarizer

    Missed a day of messages? The bot can summarize entire channels, extract decisions made, and list action items — so you're caught up in seconds.

    Slash Commands for AI Tools

    Add slash commands for any Vincony tool: /translate, /debug, /summarize, /research. Each routes to the optimal AI model automatically.

    @app.command("/research")
    def handle_research(ack, command, say):
        ack()
        report = client.search.deep_research(
            question=command["text"],
            depth=2,
            format="summary"
        )
        say(f"*Research:* {report.answer}\n\n"
            f"Sources: {len(report.citations)}")
