Forenly AI Systems' entry for the Slack Agent Builder Challenge (Salesforce / Slack) — build intelligent agents that ship in Slack.
RobotOps is a Slack agent that acts as the human-in-the-loop interface to an autonomous robot fleet. Operators receive live inspection alerts and anomaly reports from robots directly in Slack, approve or reject high-risk robot actions without leaving the workspace, and query real-time fleet status — all through natural language.
Building this in the open — join the team chat on Discord: https://discord.gg/DCmAYYE32h
This hackathon is 18+ and only specific countries/territories are included (allow-list, not exclude-list). Confirm Turkey is on the eligible list before investing build time — see View Full Rules on Devpost.
- New Slack Agent — automate workflows / connect systems / surface insights inside Slack
- Slack AI capabilities — natural-language fleet queries and alert summarisation
- MCP server integration — robot fleet MCP server exposes live sensor readings, job queue, and action approval endpoints
- Real-Time Search (RTS) API — surface the latest inspection logs and anomaly reports inline in Slack
Fast on-ramp:
slack create agent+ ready-made HR/IT/Sales templates → running agent in an afternoon.
RobotOps is a Slack agent that sits between an autonomous robot fleet and the human operators who oversee it. Robots surface inspection results, motion-planning conflicts, and anomaly detections as structured Slack messages. When a robot requests a high-risk action — entering a restricted zone, picking up an unrecognised object, pausing a production line — the agent posts an approval card to the relevant operator channel. A single approve/reject click unblocks the robot in real time. Between alerts, operators can ask the agent natural-language questions ("Which units flagged a fault in the last hour?", "What's the current battery level on unit 7?") and get answers sourced from the live fleet MCP server.
