Slack Data Handling

What Dot reads

• Only messages where it’s invoked (@Dot) and, by default, subsequent messages in that thread while Dot is active there.

• Dot does not read unrelated channel messages.

Private channels

• Adding Dot to a private channel does not grant it access to past history.

• Dot can only see messages where it’s invoked or within threads it’s participating in.

• Non-Dot messages remain invisible to Dot.

Direct messages (optional)

• DMs can be enabled by admins. These interactions are stored like channel interactions and are auditable.

Retention & admin audit

• We securely store only interactions involving Dot to provide context and auditability.

• Admins can review them in Admin Console → History.

• Workspace data deletion is available on request.

Tips for talking with Dot

1. To start a new topic, begin a new thread with @Dot in a channel.

2. Follow-up questions in the same thread use the full thread as context — no need to tag @Dot again.

3. If Dot didn't get it right, just rephrase your question.

4. You can upload files (CSVs, spreadsheets) and Dot will analyze them.

5. Ask Dot to create charts, generate PowerPoint presentations, or schedule recurring reports.
