In addition, we've open sourced our Hal9 coworker. You can look at the code that powers Hal9 from: github.com/hal9ai/hal9 under the apps/ folder. Hal9 is capable of answering question, generating images, analyzing CSVs and even building simple websites!

Creating AI Coworkers

In Hal9, there are two ways of creating AI coworkers: from our website or from code.

Creating AI coworkers from our website is very straightforward. All you have to do is name, describe and optionally upload data. Once created, you can make it your default Slack experience from hal9.com/settings.

For advanced AI assistants that connect to services, databases, build websites, create analytics dashboards and the like. You can write code and deploy from your computer or services like GitHub.

Here is an example of a Hal9 AI coworker generating a website from Slack.
