Why Slack?

Your team already lives in Slack. Instead of asking people to switch to another app, Empatalk meets them where they work. Score messages before sending, compare communication styles with a colleague, and get real-time nudges — all without leaving Slack.

What the Bot Does

The Empatalk Slack bot brings the core features of the platform into your workspace:

•  Message Scoring: draft a message and let the bot score it for clarity, tone, and directness before you send it

•  Profile Comparisons: compare your communication style with any teammate who has completed the Communication DNA Survey

•  Communication Tips: get quick, contextual tips for working with a specific colleague

•  Team Insights: managers can pull up team-wide compatibility snapshots directly in Slack

Available Commands

•  /empatalk match — Score a message for clarity and tone before sending

•  /empatalk compare @user — See a quick compatibility breakdown between you and a colleague

•  /empatalk tips @user — Get 3 practical tips for communicating with a specific person

•  /empatalk team — View a summary of team communication dynamics (Team plan required)
