Is this the same as Slack alerts?

No. This channel lets people message your agent in Slack. Slack alerts is an action that posts into a team channel when a conversation needs attention. Both use the same Slack app, but each is connected and disconnected on its own.

Will the bot reply in public channels?

No. It only answers direct messages sent to it.

Channel

Answers inside Slack, for the people who already work there

Install the orbitbase app in your Slack workspace and anyone there can direct-message the bot. The agent answers from your knowledge, calls your actions and hands off to your team, always one-to-one and never in public channels.

Replies come from your documents, website pages, notes and Notion pages, formatted the way Slack draws them.
