Once Slack is connected, Cobi works like a teammate in Slack. Ask a clear data question, then continue in the thread if you want to refine the answer.

​
Ask in a channel

Mention Cobi in a channel where the app has been invited: 
@Cobi how did revenue trend over the last 6 months?
Cobi replies in the same thread. This keeps the channel readable and keeps follow-ups attached to the original question.

​
Ask in a DM

Open a direct message with Cobi and ask normally: 
which products are driving the most revenue this quarter?
DMs are useful for quick exploration before you share a result with a channel.

​
Follow up in a Cobi thread

Inside a thread where Cobi has already answered, reply without mentioning Cobi: 
break that down by month
show the top customers
why did September drop?
Cobi uses the thread context, including earlier answers and visible Cobi tables, to understand what you mean.

​
Ask for a chart

Use natural language or the chart command: 
@Cobi chart revenue by week
/cobi chart revenue by week
Cobi posts the answer and attaches a chart image when a chart is useful.

​
Ask for a table

Use tables for rankings, lists, and record-level results: 
@Cobi table top customers by revenue this quarter
/cobi table top customers by revenue this quarter
Cobi posts a Slack-readable answer and attaches a table or CSV artifact when there are rows to show.

​
Open the full answer in Cobi

Some answers include an Open Cobi button. Use it when you want a larger view in the web app.

​
Give feedback

React to a Cobi answer with thumbs up or thumbs down. This helps your team track answer quality and improve the assistant over time.

​
When Cobi responds

Cobi responds when:
  • You mention Cobi in a channel.
  • You DM Cobi.
  • You run a /cobi command.
  • You reply in a thread where Cobi already answered.
Cobi stays silent in normal channel chatter outside those cases.
