The problem it solves

You and your team constantly jump between Slack conversations and analytics dashboards just to check a number. That back-and-forth breaks focus during standups and slows down decisions that should take seconds.

Who it fits

Marketing, growth, or management teams who track performance in Databox and live in Slack.

How it works

  1. Someone mentions the bot in a Slack channel with a question
  2. The system reads the message and figures out what data is needed
  3. It pulls the relevant numbers straight from Databox
  4. The answer is posted back in the same Slack channel
What you get

Databox answers you get by asking in Slack

Ask any performance question right in Slack and get the answer pulled straight from your Databox dashboards.

What you get

A plain-English answer to a business question, posted right in the Slack conversation.

What you need

A Databox account, an OpenAI API key, and a Slack workspace with a bot set up.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
