OpenAI Assistant is an awesome tool for building customized AI assistants. However, I found that sharing these assistants with others can be challenging. I really wanted to introduce my bot to my teammates via Slack but, but found no straightforward method.

As a humble software engineer, I developed a service to connect OpenAI Assistant to Slack channels with no code. I'm eager to share this service with fellow OpenAI Assistant enthusiasts for feedback.

PlugBear connects OpenAI assistants to the Slack workspace in just a few clicks.

Is there an open source way to connect these? I would rather not Plugbear be able to access all my Slack messages

PlugBear does not access all your Slack messages. It only receives messages when you mention the @PlugBear to deliver it to your own OpenAI Assistant. Also, we are preparing a way to connect your own Slack bot. Please stay tuned, thank you!

This is really cool. What will the pricing be? Does it mean that non plus members can access my guts?

Thank you for the good feedback! We are considering usage-based pricing. But it must be free for hobby purposes.

Yes, it means non-plus members can access your awesome guts!
