Description

Nalvin helps you search Slack—and Microsoft Teams—using natural language to surface relevant conversations, decisions, and context. Ask for past discussions on any topic, find what was decided in a thread, or locate who said what and when. Nalvin returns a sourced summary with links so you can verify and share findings easily.

Supported Integrations

Templates are flexible by default. Nalvin automatically picks the right integrations based on what you’ve connected.

How to best use this template

Below are a few tips & tricks from the Nalvin team to get the most out of this template.

Ask in natural language

You do not need to remember exact keywords or channels. Ask Nalvin what you would ask a colleague—for example, what did we decide about the pricing change last month. It handles the search.

Use this to reduce repeat questions

You can level this up by encouraging your team to ask Nalvin before asking a colleague. Many answers already exist in Slack—this just makes them findable.

Combine with other tools for richer context

Slack search is most powerful when combined with project and docs context. Ask Nalvin to cross-reference a Slack decision with the ticket or doc it relates to.

Save useful summaries back to docs

When Nalvin surfaces a valuable discussion or decision, ask it to save a clean summary to Notion or Confluence. This prevents important context from staying trapped in ephemeral threads.

Use it for onboarding and knowledge transfer

New team members can use Slack search to learn how decisions were made and what was tried before. This reduces ramp-up time and preserves institutional knowledge.
