Short answer

How do I get Flock chat logs into my AI?

Your AI uses the Flock connector to grab message history from any room you specify. It delivers these logs as structured JSON objects so you can immediately analyze patterns or summarize discussions. You'll get a clean data dump ready for your next prompt.

Data outputs

Where your data lands

The AI converts raw Flock messages into these usable formats.

DATA

Structured JSON objects

The AI turns raw chat messages into clean JSON. This makes it easy to feed the data into other tools or scripts.

INSIGHT

Conversation summaries

Once the logs are pulled, your agent can summarize long threads or identify key decisions made in a room.

AUDIT

Historical timelines

You can reconstruct the sequence of events from specific rooms to see how a project or conversation evolved.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI can't verify if a person's intent was captured perfectly. You'll need to check the logs if accuracy is critical.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of navigating Flock's structure to find the right data.
