How it works
For administrators
- Set up PondrosAdd Pondros to Slack, finish setup in the DM, connect your tools, bring your team in, and check it works. Every step on one page.
- What the Slack app can accessThe permissions Pondros asks for in Slack, what each is for, and what installing it does not grant. Written for the Slack admin approving the install.
- Who can use PondrosMembers, guests, people in shared channels, and admins: who is let in, and what only an admin can change.
- Plans and billingFree and Business, who counts as an active user, what an agent run is, and what happens when you reach an allowance.
- Troubleshoot setupThe messages setup can show instead of the next step, and what fixes each.
For everyone
- Get startedPondros is already in your Slack. Send your first ask, see what it does with it, and find your board.
- Hand off a taskAsk a teammate for something in Slack and Pondros writes it down with an owner, a due date and a project.
- Follow-ups and escalationHow Pondros checks in with the owner before the due date, reads their reply, and tells the requester when work goes quiet.
- Your boardEvery task in one place, by owner, due date, project and status, and how it stays up to date without anyone updating it.
- Ask PondrosAsk about your work and get answers with sources, or hand the AI project manager a job: research, documents, updates.
- Scheduled jobs and digestsThe Monday digest, and standing jobs you set up by asking: what runs when, and how to pause or delete it.
- Your DMsLet Pondros catch the asks in your own direct messages. Off until you turn it on.
- Good habitsName the owner, say when, keep one ask per message: how to write asks Pondros tracks cleanly.
- TroubleshootingNo reply, a task not caught, a teammate not admitted: fixes for common problems in Slack.
