Launching Vexly in Slack in under 10 minutes
When we say Vexly is “zero disruption,” we mean it. The fastest way to prove that is to put the agent where your team already lives — Slack — and let it run without retraining.
The shape of the rollout
- Connect in minutes. Authorize Slack, pick which channels Vexly can see, and map them to your PagerDuty rotations and AWS accounts. No playbook rewrites.
- Shared memory. Vexly retains the thread context, customers involved, and the operational state for every message it sees. That means it can follow up without repeating questions.
- Progressive autonomy. We start in “Ask” mode to gather confidence signals, then switch to “Act” mode once your team is ready to let Vexly ship fixes on its own.
What surprised us
- Teams wanted less bot-speak and more receipts. We added a “receipt” block that shows which tool was called (PagerDuty, Stripe, AWS) and the exact action taken.
- Latency matters. The dashboard’s health pulse now mirrors into Slack, surfacing latency and error budgets in real time so humans know when to step in.
- Routing is the unlock. Mapping Slack channels to on-call schedules means Vexly can page the right humans when it needs a hand — no command syntax required.
Try it
Drop Vexly into a single incident-response channel, let it watch for a week, and then enable “Act” mode on one runbook. You’ll have an autonomous teammate that never sleeps and understands your stack in context.
