Sample data
Why teams look past Slab
“I still have to play librarian in our org and help people find documentation they don't know exists.”
With KipwiseLet the agent play librarian. Ask in Slack and it finds the page and links it.
“Our Slab database got so congested with info it took a lot of time to organize everything.”
With KipwiseWhen a page already covers the topic, the agent adds to it instead of starting another one.
“Using slab in phone’s browser is rough.. it’s slow and clunky..”
With KipwiseOn your phone it’s just Slack. Ask in the thread from the Slack app.

Questions
What happens to our Slab pages?
Most teams move only the Slab pages they still use; book a demo and we’ll talk it through. New pages get written from your Slack threads from the first day.
Who can see what?
The agent works as the person asking. It opens only the pages, files and records that person can open, in Kipwise and in every tool they connect.
What does it cost?
$10 per user a month, for at least 3 users. That includes $5 of AI credit per person and $2 per person of shared team credit every month. Add it to Slack and the free trial starts on your first message, no card needed.
Can it change things without asking?
No. Before it edits a page, updates a record or posts a message, it shows an Approve or Deny card in the thread. Only the person who asked can approve it, and the card expires after 30 minutes.
Does it work in Microsoft Teams?
Yes. The same agent runs in Microsoft Teams, with the same tools and approvals. If your team works in Teams, book a demo and we’ll set it up with you.
