Smart Reply Buttons

Busy Slack threads often don’t need a novel response. They need a fast, clear acknowledgement. This Drop in adds a small row of suggested replies above the message box, based on the latest message in the thread.

You stay in control: click a suggestion to insert it, tweak the wording if needed, then send. It is meant to speed up the routine parts of chat without turning conversations into autopilot.

It generates a few short reply suggestions for the current context and inserts them into the compose box on click, helping teams keep a consistent tone for common replies.

Good to Know

  • Requires API credits
  • Suggestions are only starting points; always review before sending

Best Use Cases

  • Faster replies with a consistent tone
  • Common acknowledgements and quick decisions
  • Scheduling and coordination messages
  • Busy teams that live in chat
