Bring @oupi Where You Work: Connections, Extensions, and Devices · Lesson 6 of 8

6. Teams and Slack: Mention @oupi in Your Conversations

Use the @oupi bot in Teams or Slack channels and chats, understanding how your identity is matched to your OUPI account so your knowledge bases and memory apply.

@oupi lives inside your Teams channels and Slack workspaces, not just on the OUPI platform. Once your administrator has connected the bot to your organization's Teams or Slack environment, any member can mention @oupi directly in a channel or a chat. The bot answers right there in the conversation thread — no need to switch to another app or tab.

Critically, your identity in Teams or Slack is matched to your OUPI account. This means @oupi responds with full awareness of your personal knowledge bases, your conversation memory, and your permissions. It is not a generic chatbot: it is your @oupi, with all the context you have built on the platform, simply surfaced where your team already communicates.

Because the Teams and Slack bots are connections (what OUPI calls "My connections"), they follow the same rules as every other surface:

• Credits are deducted from your OUPI account, regardless of whether you talk to @oupi on the platform, in Teams, or in Slack. • Each connection appears in "My connections" with its current status and last activity timestamp. • You — or your admin — can disconnect or revoke the bot at any time. • Security is scoped: the bot operates under your OUPI account permissions, so it can only access what you are allowed to access.

What can you actually do by mentioning @oupi in a channel or chat?

• Ask a question — @oupi draws on your knowledge bases and memory to answer contextually. • Launch a mission — you can trigger a multi-step workflow directly from the conversation, and @oupi posts the result back into the same thread so your colleagues see it too. • Collaborate transparently — because the reply is visible in the channel, your team benefits from the answer without everyone needing to leave the conversation.

Remember: the bot must first be connected by your administrator. If mentioning @oupi does nothing, check with your admin that the integration is in place.

Tip

@oupi can work across multiple connections at once. For example, a mission launched from Slack could use your Chrome extension to visit a website and your Desktop app to save a file locally — all coordinated. If a needed connection is missing, the mission will tell you.

Tip

If you no longer use the Teams or Slack bot, revoke the connection from "My connections" to keep your account tidy and secure. You can always re-pair later with a new single-use code that expires after five minutes.

Try it now

Open "My connections" in your OUPI dashboard. Look for the Teams or Slack entry: check its status and last-seen timestamp. If it is not listed, ask your administrator to connect the bot, then generate a pairing code and complete the setup.

Recap

The Teams and Slack bots bring @oupi into your everyday conversations. Once connected by your admin, just mention @oupi in any channel or chat — it answers with your knowledge bases, memory, and permissions intact. You can even launch missions that post results back to the thread. Credits come from your OUPI account, the connection is visible in "My connections," and you can revoke it at any time. If multiple connections are online, @oupi can coordinate across them in a single mission.
