Introducing team bots for shared artificial intelligence collaboration
Team Bots are collaborative artificial intelligence assistants that give groups access to shared contexts, tools, and memories.
2 min read·Tuesday, 13 October
Team Bots are shared artificial intelligence assistants designed to work and learn alongside an entire group. Organizations can give a Bot access to specific files, apps, and expertise, then share it so everyone can operate from the same background knowledge.
A Team Bot is built around a specific workflow or role that a group shares. While everyone accesses the same Bot and its collected knowledge, each person maintains private individual conversations. Every Team Bot combines four main components:
Context: relevant files, instructions, and skills such as brand guidelines or internal documentation.
Plugins: integrations with third-party applications like Salesforce, Notion, and GitHub.
Credentials: secure access to APIs that lack a built-in plugin.
Memories: features that help the assistant retain information and improve over time.
Teams can also collaborate with a Bot inside messaging platforms like Slack by inviting its specific handle to shared channels.
Practical Applications Across Workflows
Organizations are deploying Team Bots in context-heavy departments. In sales and customer success, a dedicated Bot can review company documents and call transcripts overnight, posting a morning briefing to Slack with tailored next steps. For engineering teams, a Bot can connect to development tracking tools and orchestrate automated tasks to help ship code efficiently. Marketing teams use assistants to review drafts against brand guidelines and handle website content updates. Meanwhile, data analytics groups deploy Bots to query data warehouses directly using read-only credentials, answering custom data requests without manual intervention.
Availability
Team Bots are available in public beta for organizations using Teams and Enterprise plans.
