Connect Slab to your agent to turn your wiki into a live knowledge base. Once linked, your AI pulls specific details from any post without you hunting through folders.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How do I find specific info in my Slab wiki using AI?

Your agent searches your Slab workspace and reads the text of relevant posts to find answers. You get direct information on policies or specs instead of just a list of links. This breakdown shows how the agent finds what you need.

The outcomes

Where your information lands

The agent turns wiki data into direct answers.

DIRECT

Instant answers

The agent reads the specific post content to answer your question. You get the facts you need without opening a browser.

CONTEXT

Recent updates

The agent can check the latest posts to see if the answer lives in a recent update. This keeps your answers relevant to current workflows.

SEARCH

Deep discovery

The agent scans your entire Slab workspace to find the right page. It finds the specific documentation you're looking for.

HUMAN

Manual check

If the agent can't find a match, it tells you. You'll need to check Slab yourself if the info isn't documented.

The workflow

What your AI does when a question arrives.

The agent follows a logical path from a broad question to a specific answer.

  1. Locate the content

    The agent identifies which posts contain the keywords or topics you asked about.

    search_posts

  2. Check recent activity

    It looks at the latest additions to your wiki to see if the answer lives in a new update.

    list_recent_posts

  3. Read the details

    Once the right page is found, the agent pulls the full text of that post to find your answer.

    get_post_details

  4. Synthesize the answer

    The agent combines the information from the post into a plain response for you.

    get_post_details

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI edit or delete my Slab posts?

    No. The agent can only read and search your posts. It cannot change, move, or delete any content in your wiki.

  • 02

    Does the AI see every single page in my Slab workspace?

    The agent can search any post it has permission to access via the connection. If a page is restricted, the agent won't see it.

    No. This connector is designed for retrieval and search only. It does not have the ability to write or create new content.

  • 04

    The agent reads the content as it exists. If your wiki has conflicting or old info, the agent will report what it finds in the text.

  • 05

    Can I ask about files attached to a Slab post?

    The agent reads the text within the posts. It cannot currently open or parse external file attachments like PDFs or images.
