A smart sidekick and buddy for all your community members in Slack. Albus learns from your Slack conversations (+ other sources) to give instant answers and handle repetitive questions. Transform your community into a knowledge hub for your members.
Hi folks ππ»
Excited to launch Albus for Community today on PH π
2 months ago, we launched a beta version of Albus to a few communities - and he has already answered 20,000+ questions!
Albus is an AI-powered knowledge bot that learns from your Slack conversations and channels to provide accurate answers at your fingertips.
Oh btw - Albus isn't limited to "Slack" alone!
Albus also integrates with workplace apps such as Notion, Google Drive, HubSpot, Jira, and more. So, even if your community's knowledge is scattered across multiple platforms, Albus should be able to help!
With Albus, your community can:
Get answers instantly: No more endless scrolling, keyword searching or worrying about archived messages. Albus analyzes all the data across different sources and provides you with spot-on answers in seconds.
Become the #1 knowledge hub for your niche: Albus provides answers to member queries, rich with community insights and real-life experiences, offering more reliable information than standard Google searches.
Focus on things that matter: As an admin, you can free up your time from mundane tasks and focus on impactful work like speaker outreach, and event planning which can further elevate community member experience.
How It Works:
Add Albus: Install Albus from your Slack app directory and connect it to your Slack account.
Select channels: You can select which channels Albus should start learning from, once you select, Albus will start analyzing your chats.
Ask your first question: Asking a question is easy, you can either DM Albus or @Albus on a channel. For example: @Albus what are the best email outbound tools
If this sounds exciting, Aayush from Team Albus would love to chat (https://calendly.com/aayush-mahe...) about how can Albus transform your community.
@abhash_kumar2 Pretty useful bot to save answering time.
Quick question - While learning from the community knowledge/user generated content - how does it determine accuracy of an answer for a question?
And again, huge congratulations for the launch of Albus. Wishing you a stellar launch.
Congrats on the launch! π The amount of times I constantly find myself hitting ctrl f to search for info on slack or notion is wild to me, so this is great!
Is there functionality to not only give an answer but link to the source of where it pulled the answer from? Thinking of there is a scenario where you need to link or reference something?
Haha @carolmoh - can relate. We have always have been there jumping from one thread to another app.
To your question, Albus does give reference source along with the answer :)
I've always been a big fan of communities but am not a part of many on slack cause it gets confusing for me and the messages get lost for me !π This will definitely help that case! Congrats and all the best to the team! ππ
Huge congrats to Team Albus on your phenomenal launch on Producthunt! A smart sidekick for community interactions is such a game-changer. It would be even cooler if Albus could have a feature to suggest topic-based discussion threads based on the conversations it learns. This could further enhance the knowledge sharing experience among members. Keep rocking!
Hi @manmohit, thank you for your support.
Interesting point. Topic based suggestion based on previous conversation can further improve the engagement in community and enable dialogue between community members.
@kar2905 Congrats and all the best Kartik.
I got confused with Slack being the most prominent one to integrate this but then I saw the other platforms as well. Since I am big on Google Workspace, will this be helpful there and how?
Working with the Albus team has been such a pleasure! A+ product and A+ team, solving some of the hardest problems in AI, RAG, and more. Congratulations on the launch!!
Hey there! Your product, Albus, sounds like a fantastic addition to any Slack community. I love the idea of having a smart sidekick that learns from conversations and provides instant answers. It's great to see how you're transforming communities into knowledge hubs for their members.
I'm really excited to see your product launch! As someone who's also about to launch their own product, I would love to hear any advice you have for a successful launch. Any tips or lessons learned would be greatly appreciated.
Once your product is live, I would be more than happy to give you feedback. Please feel free to click on the "Notify" button so that I can receive a notification when your product is ready. Thank you in advance, and best of luck with your launch!
Hey there, love the concept! Quick question: How does Albus keep its knowledge base updated with new info from platforms like Slack and Notion? Excited to see its impact on community engagement! Great job on the launch!
Hey @mocarg, thank you for the support.
Once the sources are connected, you get an option in the dashboard to automatically retrain the documents/channels. You can set it to retrain daily, weekly, or monthly.
Hi @alex_egorov, Couple of our major USPs:
- Albus is not limited to slack and can connect with 50+ apps (incase community maintain documents on Google Drive, Notion or similar)
- You can use Albus either in DM or in public channel. We understand there are some questions you don't want to ask in public hence this functionality
- There is full fledged dashboard for community admins where they can change different settings for Albus. For example, if they don't want Albus to learn from "#admin-private" channel then they have an option to exclude it.
Happy to give you detail walkthrough. Let's know :)
Just dropped by to say Albus sounds like a total lifesaver for crowded Slack communities. Learning from chatter to handle FAQs - brilliant! Best of luck, team! π
Well done on introducing Albus to Slack communities! Transforming community interactions into knowledge hubs is a brilliant idea. Excited to see it in action!
