Why this helps
Questions in Slack often lack the scope needed for useful research.
- Improve research prompt quality
- Clarify scope early
- Reduce repeated question refinement
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and DeepSeek once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Search prompt builder.
- 3Describe that each question should become a precise research prompt with scope, constraints, and evidence requirements.
- 4Pick the Slack Channel Message Received trigger.
- 5Choose where reports go, then test with one research question.
