- Surface reusable capabilities before taking on setup work.
- Reduce repeated decisions about how to handle common requests.
- Keep an inventory check close to the need that prompted it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Chatbotkit to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction that describes which DM requests should prompt a Chatbotkit skillset listing and how to share relevant options.
- 4Choose the Slack direct-message trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a DM about a capability that has a known skillset, then review the matches.
