CorpusIQ in Slack and Teams¶
CorpusIQ runs as an app inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. Instead of opening the dashboard or a separate AI tool, you ask a question in a chat you already use and get an answer back, drawn from the business tools you've connected.
This section is about using the app once it's installed in your workspace. It does not cover installing it — that's handled by your workspace admin, and the steps will change once the app is in the Slack and Teams marketplaces.
Five short reads. Start at the top if the app is new to you.
- what-it-is.md — what the chat app does, and how it's different from the CorpusIQ dashboard. Read this first.
- getting-started-slack.md — the three things you do once in Slack to start getting answers: link your account, set your AI key, ask your first question.
- getting-started-teams.md — the same three steps in Microsoft Teams, where signing in uses your Microsoft account.
- asking-questions.md — how to ask, what the answers look like, and a set of questions worth trying first.
- commands-and-account.md — the commands for signing in, signing out, and switching which CorpusIQ account you're using.
- troubleshooting.md — the four things that stop you getting an answer, and how to fix each one.
The short version¶
Three things stand between a fresh install and a useful answer:
- Link your CorpusIQ account. The app won't touch your data until it knows who you are. Linking connects your Slack or Teams identity to your CorpusIQ account, so answers come from your connected tools — not a shared login.
- Set your AI key. The app uses your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Azure OpenAI key to do the thinking. You add it once in the CorpusIQ dashboard.
- Ask. Message the app directly, or @-mention it in a channel. Plain English. The answer comes back formatted — numbers as tiles, not a wall of text.
Do those once and every question after is just step three.
