Why this helps
Finding the right existing agent can require a separate lookup and another context switch.
- Look up active agents in response to a direct request.
- Help people reuse agents that already exist.
- Keep an agent search tied to the question that prompted it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Agenty to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction to fetch active Agenty agents when a direct Slack message asks what research agents are available.
- 4Select the Slack direct-message trigger, choose a reporting channel, and test with a real inventory request.
