FAQPage Schema
How do I build a chatbot that works across Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams?▼

The SDK supports interactive messaging by handling event listeners for platform mentions, direct messages, slash commands, emoji reactions, and interactive UI elements like buttons and dropdowns.

Can I integrate AI streaming responses into a multi-platform chatbot?▼

You need TypeScript for development, platform-specific adapters to connect to your target chat platforms, and a state management solution to handle deployment and maintain bot context.

What is the best way to handle slash commands and interactive buttons in a Slack bot?▼

Using a unified SDK abstracts platform-specific complexities into a single codebase, whereas building native integrations requires managing individual platform APIs, event payloads, and authentication flows separately.

Do I need platform-specific adapters to deploy a cross-platform chatbot?▼

Deployment requires platform-specific adapters and state management solutions, so you must configure these environment dependencies to handle event routing and maintain bot state across your target chat platforms.
