Core Features & Use Cases

  • Browser-based Slack automation: Navigate Slack and perform actions through an existing logged-in browser session.
  • Unread discovery & overview: Check Activity, DMs, and sidebar “More unreads” to compile what needs attention.
  • Search and extraction workflows: Use Slack’s search UI to find messages by keywords and extract visible conversation data.
  • Evidence capture: Take screenshots and annotated screenshots to document findings.

Quick Start

Connect to an existing Slack browser session on port 9222, then take a snapshot to reveal clickable refs and extract unread information.
