Building Slack agents can be easy
Blog post from Vercel
Slack Agent Skill streamlines the process of creating and deploying Slack agents by leveraging coding agents like Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to coordinate the necessary systems and automate steps. The skill uses a wizard to guide users through the entire process, from setting up a project with the Slack Agent Template to deploying on Vercel, ensuring each stage is handled efficiently. This includes configuring OAuth scopes, event subscriptions, and slash commands, setting up environment variables, and deploying to production. The agent can perform tasks like holding multi-turn conversations, reading channels, and executing custom tools for specific actions. Workflow DevKit enhances the agent's durability by allowing it to pause for human approval and resume conversations, while AI Gateway provides access to various AI models. Vercel Academy offers a comprehensive course to further extend and understand the capabilities of Slack agents, ensuring users can effectively manage the lifecycle and deployment of their agents.
