# Slack app

> Add a bot that searches your docs to answer questions in your Slack workspace

<Info>
  The Slack app is available for [Pro and Custom plans](https://mintlify.com/pricing?ref=slack-app).
</Info>

The Slack app adds a bot named `@mintlify` to your Slack workspace that can search your documentation and answer users' questions. The bot responds to direct messages, @mentions, and to any questions in a channel specifically named `#ask-ai`.

The Slack app can incur costs: either using your AI assistant credits or incurring overages.

## Setting up the Slack app

<Note>
  If your Slack Workspace Owner requires admin approval to install apps, ask them to approve the Mintlify Slack app before you add it.
</Note>

1. Navigate to the [Add-ons](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/addons) page of your dashboard.
2. Select **Connect** in the Slack Integration card.
3. Follow the Slack prompts to add the app to your workspace.
4. Test that the bot is working and responds when you:

* Send a direct message to the Mintlify app.
* Mention the bot with `@mintlify` in a channel.
* Create an `#ask-ai` channel, add the bot, and ask a question.
