# Ask AI on Slack

To use **Ask AI** in Slack, your Slack workspace must be connected to Typo and have the latest permissions enabled.

### If Slack is Already Connected

If your Slack workspace is already connected, you'll need to update the app permissions to enable **Ask AI**.

#### Before You Begin

* Make sure you're logged in to the **Typo dashboard** in the same browser.
* This step must be completed by a **Slack Workspace Admin**.

#### Steps

1. Click the **Update Permissions** link provided in Typo.
2. Select your Slack workspace.
3. Click **Allow** to authorize the updated permissions.

Once the permissions are updated, **Ask AI** will be available in your Slack workspace.

> **Note:** To use Ask AI in a private Slack channel, make sure the **Typo** app has been added to that channel.

### If Slack is Not Connected

If you haven't connected Slack yet, follow these steps:

1. In Typo, go to **Settings → Integrations**.
2. Click **Connect** next to **Slack**.
3. Select your Slack workspace.
4. Click **Allow** to authorize the required permissions.

Once the authorization is complete, your Slack workspace will be connected to Typo, and you'll be able to use all Slack features, including **Ask AI**.

> **Note:** Connecting Slack and updating permissions must be done by a **Slack Workspace Admin**.

### Using Ask AI in Private Channels

To use **Ask AI** in a private Slack channel, make sure the **Typo** app has been added to that specific channel. Without adding the app, Ask AI won't be able to access or respond in private channels.
