What it does
A Slack app for talking to ChatGPT in channels, for drafting and thinking out loud where the team already is. The author leads the README by pointing at OpenAI's own Slack integration and suggesting you try that first — worth taking seriously before deploying this. If you do use it at work, deploy to your own infrastructure rather than the author's personally-hosted demo, as they recommend, and check the data path against your company's rules. MIT.

ChatGPT-in-Slack FAQ

- It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.
- Does ChatGPT-in-Slack work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use ChatGPT-in-Slack commercially?
- The licence is MIT, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
