■Overview
In day-to-day operations, there are many occasions when you need to research specific market trends or competitor information. However, repeatedly opening a browser, running searches, and compiling the results can take a significant amount of time. With this workflow, simply send a specific keyword in Slack, and AI will automatically conduct market and competitive analysis and reply with the results directly in the thread. Get high-quality insights quickly without leaving your chat tool, and streamline your research process.
■Who This Template Is For
- Teams that regularly share information in Slack and want to conduct market research or gather competitor insights as part of that workflow
- Marketing professionals and business leaders who frequently plan new initiatives or conduct competitor research
- Anyone who spends too much time on web research and summarizing information and wants to automate research tasks with AI
■Benefits of This Template
- Research starts as soon as you send a keyword in Slack, eliminating the need to open another tool for information gathering and minimizing interruptions to your work.
- AI extracts and summarizes market trends and points of differentiation from multiple information sources, helping you obtain a comprehensive report faster than with manual research.
■How the Flowbot Works
- First, connect Slack to Yoom.
- Next, set the Slack “When a message is posted to a channel” action as the trigger.
- Finally, create a manual (instruction) for generating a market and competitive analysis report, and set Slack’s “Send a message to a thread” action as the tool to use.
※“Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that processes tasks within the flow after the trigger starts.
■Customization Options
■Customization Options
- In the Slack trigger settings, specify the channel where you want to activate the AI.
- Customize the AI worker’s instructions to generate reports with analysis items tailored to a specific industry or in a designated output format.
■Notes
- Connect Slack and Yoom. You must also connect the tools (apps) used within the AI worker through My Apps.
- For basic AI worker setup instructions, see [AI Worker] How to Set Up the Basics.
- The number of simultaneous AI worker executions, the number of AI workers you can create, and the AI models available to you vary depending on your plan.
- The apps and operations available within an AI worker are subject to the same usage limits as Flowbots.
- AI workers consume tasks during test runs just as they do during production runs. For details, see [AI Worker] How Task Execution Counts Are Calculated.
- AI workers are more likely to perform tasks correctly when you provide detailed instructions. For details, see [AI Worker] How to Create a Manual.
