TL;DR: datavessel now has a chat interface built into the dashboard. Same AI agent, same tools, same capabilities as the Slack bot — but in your browser. No Slack required. Just open /chat and start asking.
We’ve been talking to users. One thing kept coming up: “I love what datavessel does, but my team doesn’t use Slack.”
Fair point. We built datavessel as Slack-native because that’s where most small teams coordinate. But not all of them. And even teams that do use Slack told us they sometimes want a dedicated interface for longer analytical sessions.
So we listened. Starting today, the full AI agent is available directly in the dashboard at /chat. Everything you can do in Slack, you can now do in the browser.
Everything the Slack Bot Can Do
This isn’t a limited version. The web chat has the same capabilities as the Slack bot:
- Query your data — “What were my top products last week?” “How’s organic traffic trending?”
- Generate reports — Full PDF reports from any connected source
- Manage memory — Save decisions, recall action items, update entries
- Check connections — See which sources are linked and what’s available
- Schedule agents — Set up automated reports and alerts
Every tool. Every integration. Every data source you’ve connected. All accessible from a chat window in your browser.
Built for Real Conversations
This isn’t a one-shot query box. It’s a full conversational interface:
- Multi-turn context — Ask a follow-up question. The agent remembers what you just discussed.
- Live thinking indicator — See exactly which tool the agent is calling while it works. No black box.
- Collapsible tool details — Expand any response to see what data the agent pulled and how it got the answer.
- Markdown rendering — Clean formatting for tables, lists, and code in every response.
Your Conversations, Saved
Every conversation is saved automatically. A sidebar shows your history — click any previous chat to pick up where you left off.
Start a conversation about revenue trends on Monday. Come back Thursday and continue from the same thread. No re-explaining context.
Why Not Just Use Slack?
Slack is great for teams. But there are moments when a browser is better:
- Quick queries — Open a tab, ask a question, get an answer. No switching apps.
- Private exploration — Dig into data without posting in a team channel.
- No Slack dependency — Teams that use Discord, Teams, or nothing at all can still use datavessel fully.
- Deeper sessions — Longer analytical conversations are easier in a dedicated interface than in a Slack thread.
Slack and web chat aren’t competing. They’re two surfaces for the same agent. Use whichever fits the moment.
