Slack Channel

DM your agent from Slack

Message your AI agent directly from Slack, just like DMing a colleague.

Pro feature: Slack channel requires a Pro subscription. Upgrade here.

Setup

1. Connect your Slack workspace

Go to your channel settings and click "Add Slack".

You'll be redirected to Slack to authorize Evident.

2. Select your agent

Choose which agent should receive messages from this Slack workspace.

3. Start messaging

Find "Evident" in your Slack apps and send a DM. Your message will be forwarded to your local agent.

How it works

  1. You DM the Evident app in Slack
  2. The message is sent to Evident's relay
  3. We forward it to your local OpenCode through the tunnel
  4. OpenCode processes and responds
  5. The response appears in Slack

Features

  • Real-time responses — Streaming responses appear as they're generated
  • Rich formatting — Code blocks, lists, and formatting are preserved
  • Context preserved — Conversations maintain context across messages
  • Web sync — All conversations also appear in the web UI

Tips

  • Pin the Evident app for quick access
  • Use threads for complex, multi-turn conversations
  • The agent sees your Slack display name

Troubleshooting

Agent not responding?

  • Check that your tunnel is running (npx evident connect)
  • Check the web UI to see if the message was received
  • Make sure OpenCode is running locally

Slow responses?

Response time depends on your agent's processing. The tunnel adds minimal latency.
