Here's what happens when you run a real RAG query on your Slack conversations:
**Command**:
```bash
python -m apps.slack_rag \
--mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
--workspace-name "Sky Lab Computing" \
--channels general random ps2 \
--query "What is LEANN about?"

RAG RESPONSE:
============================================================
Query: 'What is LEANN about?'
Based on the retrieved Slack workspace data, here's what I found:
The "Sky Lab Computing" workspace is a large academic research environment with **107 channels**:
**Major Research Channels:**
- **#ps2** - Progressive Systems Seminar (183 members) - Systems/berkeley/life discussions
- **#systems-reading-group** - Sky Systems Reading Group (174 members)
- **#dsf-fac-and-grad-students** - DSF faculty and grad students (140 members)
- **#ps-social** - Social channel (87 members)
- **#llm-reading** - Generative Models reading group (84 members)
**Research Focus Areas:**
- Systems and distributed computing
- Machine learning and generative models
- Graduate education and fellowships
- Academic collaboration and reading groups
**Integration Status:**
The Slack integration successfully:
1. **Connected to the workspace** and authenticated
2. **Retrieved comprehensive channel directory** (107 channels)
3. **Identified channel permissions** - bot needs to be invited to specific channels
4. **Demonstrated proper error handling** for access restrictions
**Next Steps for Full RAG:**
To access actual conversation messages, the bot needs to be invited to specific channels. Once invited, the system would be able to:
- Retrieve actual conversation messages
- Index them for semantic search
- Answer questions based on real discussions
**Sources:** Channel directory from Sky Lab Computing workspace (107 channels analyzed)
============================================================
✅ RAG Query Complete!
```
### After Inviting Your Bot
Once you've invited your bot to a channel, you'll see actual conversation messages instead of "not_in_channel" errors. The RAG system will then be able to:
1. **Retrieve real messages** from the channels your bot has access to
2. **Index them for semantic search** using LEANN's vector database
3. **Answer questions** based on actual conversation content
4. **Provide context-aware responses** about your team's discussions
This demonstrates that the integration is working correctly - it's just a matter of proper channel permissions!

### Screenshot: Real RAG Query Results
Here's what you'll see when running a RAG query on your Slack workspace:
![RAG Query Results](rag-query-results.png)
**What this screenshot shows:**
- ✅ **Successful MCP connection** to Slack workspace
- ✅ **Channel directory retrieval** (107 channels discovered)
- ✅ **Proper error handling** for channel access permissions
- ⚠️ **"not_in_channel" errors** indicating bot needs invitation to specific channels
This is the expected behavior - the integration is working perfectly, it just needs proper channel permissions to access conversation messages.
## Real RAG Query Example (Sky Lab Computing “random”)
This example shows a real query against the Sky Lab Computing workspace’s “random” channel using the Slack MCP server, with an embedded screenshot of the terminal output.
### Screenshot
![Sky Random RAG](videos/rag-sky-random.png)
### Prerequisites
- Bot is installed in the Sky Lab Computing workspace and invited to the target channel (run `/invite @YourBotName` in the channel if needed)
- Bot token available and exported in the same terminal session
### Commands
1) Set the workspace token for this shell
```bash
export SLACK_MCP_XOXP_TOKEN="xoxb-***-redacted-***"
```
2) Run a real query against the “random” channel by channel ID (C0GN5BX0F)
```bash
python test_channel_by_id_or_name.py \
--channel-id C0GN5BX0F \
--workspace-name "Sky Lab Computing" \
--query "PUBPOL 290"
```
Expected: The output contains a matching message (e.g., “do we have a channel for class PUBPOL 290 this semester?”) followed by a compact RAG-style answer section.
3) Optional: Ask a broader question
```bash
python test_channel_by_id_or_name.py \
--channel-id C0GN5BX0F \
--workspace-name "Sky Lab Computing" \
--query "What is LEANN about?"
```
Notes:
- If you see `not_in_channel`, invite the bot to the channel and re-run.
- If you see `channel_not_found`, confirm the channel ID and workspace.
- Deep search via server-side “search” tools may require additional Slack scopes; the example above performs client-side filtering over retrieved history.

## Troubleshooting Checklist
- [ ] Slack app created with proper permissions
