    What is Qordinate?

    Qordinate is your AI teammate that actually does the boring parts for you - tracking tasks, nudging you on time, and keeping context across channels so you don't have to. Instead of opening ten tools, just talk to Qordinate in Slack like you'd DM a coworker.

    What Qordinate Can Do for You

    Remember Things for Later

    Set one-time or recurring reminders. Examples: "Remind me tomorrow 4pm to reply to the investor" or "Every Monday at 10am, ask me for my weekly priorities."

    Manage Tasks Across Your Day

    Capture quick todos in Slack and turn them into structured tasks with due dates, priorities, and notes. Get gentle-but-firm nudges when you're ignoring your own plans.

    Summarize and Surface Context

    Summarize long threads, pull out action items, and keep a running log of what actually matters. Great for noisy channels and chaos teams.

    Coordinate with People

    Need docs, confirmations, or updates from others? Qordinate can help you structure the request and follow up later so it doesn't die in chat.

    Use Connectors from Slack

    Qordinate is MCP-compatible and supports connectors like Gmail, Calendar, Cursor, Drive, Docs, and any remote hosted MCP server. Access and control your connected tools directly from Slack without switching apps.

    Getting Started

    Prerequisites

    • Your Slack workspace must allow installation of the Qordinate app
    • You have a Qordinate account (sign up at app.qordinate.ai)
    • For connector features, you'll need to connect them separately at app.qordinate.ai → Connectors

    Installation

    Before proceeding, first check if Qordinate is already installed in your workspace by accessing Apps in Slack.

    Step 1 (Workspace Installation): Click "Add to Slack" above to install Qordinate in your workspace. This is a one-time installation that adds the app to your Slack workspace. Review the permissions requested and click "Allow" to proceed.

    Step 2 (Individual User Connection): Each user must connect their Slack account to their Qordinate account. Visit app.qordinate.ai, sign in or sign up with your phone number, then go to Connectors → Slack to link your account.

    Important: If you try to message Qordinate in Slack before connecting your account, you'll receive instructions to complete the connection. Once connected, you can message Qordinate in any channel or DM where it's been added.

    Step 3: Add Qordinate to a channel or DM it directly. The bot must be added to a channel before it can read or respond there. You can find Qordinate in your Slack apps list or add it to your navigation bar.

    Step 4 (Optional): Connect additional tools at app.qordinate.ai → Connectors. Qordinate supports Gmail, Calendar, Cursor, Drive, Docs, and any MCP-compatible server. Once connected, you can use these tools directly from Slack.

    Using Qordinate in Slack

    After installation, you can start using Qordinate by @mentioning it in any channel or DM. Qordinate responds to direct @mentions and understands natural language requests. You can ask Qordinate to summarize threads, create tasks, set reminders, query your tasks, and use connected tools.

    Example Prompts

    Summarize discussions in a channel:

    @Qordinate summarize the discussions in the engineering-team channel from this week. Provide a concise overview of the main topics and decisions.

    Catch up on unread messages:

    @Qordinate catch me up on everything unread in my Slack threads

    Create a meeting brief with action items:

    @Qordinate create a one-page meeting brief with key points discussed in the Marketing channel this week. Include action items.

    Add tasks with due dates:

    @Qordinate add "review client proposal" to my tasks, due Friday

    Set reminders:

    @Qordinate remind me tomorrow at 4pm to reply to the investor

    Query your tasks:

    @Qordinate what tasks do I have due this week?

    Use connectors (if connected):

    @Qordinate ask Cursor to clean up the logging in the payments service@Qordinate check my Gmail for emails from the client about the contract@Qordinate block 3-4pm tomorrow for deep work (if Calendar is connected)

    Cross-Channel Memory

    Tasks added via Slack are accessible when asking via WhatsApp or the web app (same user account). Proactive messages (reminders, automations) are sent as DMs from the bot on the last used channel.

    Data Controls and Management

    You can view and manage your Qordinate connection from app.qordinate.ai → Connectors. From there, you can view your connected Slack workspace, disconnect it, or reconnect if needed.

    Disconnecting your Qordinate account from Slack will prevent you from using Qordinate in Slack until you reconnect. Your task history and data remain accessible in your Qordinate account and can be managed from the web app.

    You can also remove the Qordinate app from Slack directly if you have the necessary permissions in your workspace.

    Privacy and Security

    Qordinate respects Slack's existing permissions - the bot must be added to a channel before it can read or respond there. Only messages and files you already have access to in Slack are accessible to Qordinate.

    Data sent to Qordinate includes your messages and requests, which are processed using Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate responses. Qordinate maintains memory of your tasks and preferences to provide personalized assistance across channels. This memory is used to improve your experience and is not shared with other users.

    When using connectors, Qordinate accesses only the data you've authorized for each connector. Each connector's data is handled according to its own privacy policies and your authorization settings.

    Limitations

    • Qordinate must be added to a channel before it can read or respond there
    • Heavy usage may exhaust your per-user Slack API limits quota even if workspace-wide limits are not reached
    • Connector features require separate setup at app.qordinate.ai → Connectors
    • Some advanced features may require specific connector configurations

    FAQ

    How do I find Qordinate in Slack?

    You can find Qordinate by searching for it in the Slack Apps directory, or it will appear in your apps list after installation. You can also add it to your navigation bar for quick access.

    Do I need to connect my Slack account separately?

    Yes. After the workspace installs Qordinate, each user must individually connect their Slack account to their Qordinate account. Visit app.qordinate.ai, sign in, and go to Connectors → Slack to link your account. Once connected, you don't need to be signed into the web app to use Qordinate in Slack.

    Can I connect multiple Slack workspaces?

    You can connect one Slack workspace per Qordinate account. To connect to a different workspace, you'll need to disconnect from the current one first from app.qordinate.ai → Connectors.

    How do I use connectors from Slack?

    First, connect your connectors at app.qordinate.ai → Connectors. Once connected, you can reference them in your Slack messages to Qordinate. For example: "@Qordinate ask Cursor to..." or "@Qordinate check my Gmail for..."

    How do I disconnect my Slack account from Qordinate?

    You can disconnect your individual Slack connection from app.qordinate.ai → Connectors → Slack, and click disconnect. This only disconnects your account. To remove the app from your workspace entirely, you'll need workspace admin permissions in Slack.

    What happens if I try to use Qordinate before connecting my account?

    If you message Qordinate in Slack before connecting your account, you'll receive a helpful message with instructions to complete the connection. You'll need to visit app.qordinate.ai, sign in or sign up, and go to Connectors → Slack to link your account.

    What happens to my data if I disconnect?

    Disconnecting your Qordinate account from Slack will prevent you from using Qordinate in Slack, but your task history and data remain accessible in your Qordinate account. You can manage or delete this data from the web app.
