Output

  • Bot Lifecycle Management

    • Confirms successful creation, updates (e.g., instructions, tools), or deletion of bots.

    • Provides a list of existing bots along with key configuration details.

  • Slack Deployment

    • Confirms whether the bot has been deployed to Slack successfully, including any access permissions or allow-list changes.

  • Tool & Instruction Management

    • Return messages confirming added or removed tools, as well as updated instructions or Slack app-level keys.

Genbot Tip

  • Use meaningful bot_id and bot_name values to track and manage multiple bots efficiently.

  • Regularly review and update bot instructions to keep pace with evolving workflows or organizational changes.

​
How It Works

Users define a bot’s identity using make_baby_bot, specifying instructions and which tools to enable. Over time, the bot’s capabilities can be expanded or refined using add_new_tools_to_bot, remove_tools_from_bot, or update_bot_instructions. Integration with Slack is facilitated through update_app_level_key and _deploy_to_slack, while _modify_slack_allow_list manages user permissions. When no longer needed, a bot can be decommissioned via _remove_bot, ensuring clean retirement of resources.

IMPORTANT NOTE

  • Deletions are permanent—back up bot instructions or configurations if you anticipate needing them later.

  • Extensive updates to bot tools or instructions may momentarily disrupt ongoing tasks—plan maintenance windows accordingly.

  • Overuse of Slack deployment or notifications can cause alert fatigue—focus on critical notifications.
