Overview

To create a seamless and trustworthy user experience with your AI app in Slack, here are the essential best practices:
  • Content Disclaimers: Always inform users when content is AI-generated and include any necessary disclaimers to highlight potential inaccuracies.
  • Gather Feedback: Collect user feedback, whether through simple thumbs-up/thumbs-down reactions or more detailed input, to improve your app’s responses.
  • Cite Sources: Ensure your app provides clear references for any external information or sources it uses, building trust with users.
  • Smooth Onboarding: Guide first-time users with clear next steps (e.g., signing in or agreeing to terms) but avoid repetitive prompts once they’re onboarded.
  • Media Support: Let users know what types of media the app supports and provide helpful messages if unsupported media is uploaded.
  • Formatting: Use Block Kit for complex responses and Slack’s mrkdwn for simpler ones to ensure correct display formatting.
  • Graceful Error Handling: Provide clear error messages and status updates if something goes wrong, so users know what to expect.
  • Use App Home: Leverage the app home to share important settings and let users easily adjust configurations.
