Make vendor comparisons easier to review

Let Griptape organize the options and criteria already mentioned in your Slack discussion.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Assistant Run Creation

Tool to initiate a new assistant run. Use when starting a fresh execution with custom arguments or resources after selecting the assistant.

Why this helps

Comparing tools can create a research rabbit hole when choices and evaluation criteria stay scattered across chat.

  • Collect stated criteria into a reviewable structure.
  • Surface missing information before choosing.
  • Reduce repeated scanning of the conversation.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Griptape to Notis once via the portal.
  • 2Create an automation from the portal or by asking Notis in plain language.
  • 3Write one instruction for recognizing vendor comparisons and asking Griptape to organize options, criteria, and open questions.
  • 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose the run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one real vendor discussion and check the comparison for missing context.
