Navigating the Afternoon Slump:

That moment when your second cup of coffee falls short and a siesta seems infinitely more appealing than work. Familiar, right? Picture this: the clock strikes 3 p.m., and instead of taking a nap, you're faced with an urgent email or a crucial line of code that's stalling the entire team's progress. And to make matters worse, even your trusty ChatGPT, the AI you rely on for assistance, claims it's operating at maximum capacity.

Equiqo confronted this mid-afternoon challenge with determination.

But no, we didn't triple our caffeine intake or experiment with hypnotism. We turned to what we excel at - technology! Our ingenious solution? Seamlessly integrating ChatGPT with our primary communication platform - Slack!

As an excerpt from an enlightening CNBC article suggests,

"Our internal circadian biological clocks regulate the timing of our energy levels throughout the day... drops significantly during the hours between 2 and 5 p.m."

The "3 p.m. slump" is all too familiar, characterized by waning alertness and productivity, a natural phenomenon rooted in our circadian rhythms and various factors such as post-lunch digestion and blood sugar fluctuations

It’s 3 PM. Your thoughts meander, clarity seems like a distant memory. The urgency of the task at hand battles with the sluggishness of the hour. What's the solution? Well, how about using an AI assistant? But, ah, here's the catch – ChatGPT often takes its afternoon siesta. Forget about this tool. Picture this "aha" moment, we realized the need for uninterrupted ChatGPT access.

Piotr Muras

"The hours between 1 PM to 4 PM mark ChatGPT's peak usage."

Financial considerations come into play. With each team member multiplied by our roster, we're looking at an annual bill of $14,400. A question arises: Can we make the most of this resource? Dev Piotr Muras adds a tantalizing idea:

"What if we can acquire it for just $240?"

Here's where innovation takes a triumphant leap. Piotr's ingenious solution takes shape. We secure a ChatGPT license and seamlessly embed it within Slack. How to integrate Chat GPT with Slack?

Step-by-step guide on how integration like this can be done:
  • 1Set up a new Slack app: Visit the Slack API website and create a new app for your bot. Give it a name and choose the workspace where you want to install it.
  • 2Customize your bot: Personalize your bot's appearance by setting its display name, profile picture, and other details. This will give your bot its unique identity.
  • 3Grant necessary permissions: Enable specific permissions for your bot, allowing it to perform actions like sending and receiving messages in Slack channels.
  • 4Get API credentials: Sign up for the ChatGPT API to obtain a special key or token. This key will enable your bot to communicate with the ChatGPT service and receive responses.
  • 5Develop the bot logic: Write the code that connects your bot with the ChatGPT API. This code will handle receiving messages from Slack users, sending them to the ChatGPT API for processing, and returning generated responses back to Slack. Additionally, implement a way to store and manage context for each user on the bot's side since the ChatGPT API does not have a built-in conversation history.
  • 6Deploy the bot: Host your bot's code on a server or cloud platform so that it can run continuously and interact with Slack. This ensures your bot is always available to respond to messages.
  • 7Install the bot in Slack: Authorize your bot to access your Slack workspace and install it. This allows the bot to join channels and respond to messages from users.
  • 8Test and refine: Start testing your bot in Slack channels to see how it performs. Gather feedback from users and make any necessary adjustments to improve its functionality and responses.

…Now, everyone can tap into AI insights individually, without interrupting the flow. And it gets even better – all this magic happens within Slack's cozy environment, with no browser tabs to fumble with

Spearheading the ChatGPT-Slack fusion was Piotr, a virtuoso developer with an innate affinity for technology. Piotr's integration brilliance not only facilitated seamless interfacing but also introduced a game-changing twist - individualized ChatGPT histories of requests, ensuring collaborative independence.

From the initial coding keystrokes to the final integration flourish, Equiqo's progressive stride was bolstered by Mateusz and Jarosław, who played crucial roles in ensuring the ChatGPT-Slack integration.

Jarosław tasks: Setting up a cloud environment, deploying a slack bot, and making the network visible.

Mateusz tasks: Patron of the whole idea.Setting up everything in Slack. Orchestrating the project from start to finish, ensuring effective collaboration, and delivering successful outcomes.

Venturing into economics, our annual expenditure plummeted from a theoretical $14,160 to a mere $240, courtesy of Piotr's ingenuity. For $20 a month, we unlocked 24/7 access to an indispensable tool capable of:

  • Delivering code snippets and examples tailored to specific programming conundrums.
  • Providing expert guidance on troubleshooting coding errors and bugs.
  • Translating technical jargon into plain, comprehensible language.
  • Suggesting optimal practices for software design and development.
  • Assisting with Git version control intricacies and unraveling their mysteries.
  • Facilitating seamless development environment setup and software installations.
  • Recommending frameworks, libraries, and tools tailored to unique programming requirements.
  • Guiding API integration endeavors and ensuring effective usage.
  • Optimizing code performance and efficiency for streamlined development.
  • Offering learning resources and tutorials for new languages and technologies.

“While I may not use the content generated by #ChatGPT directly, as I believe algorithms still have room to grow, I definitely treat it as a never-ending source of inspiration. Those frustrating creative blocks that used to last for 30 minutes? Gone! Now, within just 5 minutes of struggling with an idea or finding the right words, I can turn to ChatGPT and ask for a little nudge in the right direction. I jokingly told my colleagues that integrating ChatGPT with Slack felt like receiving a promotion at work, where suddenly you have your own dedicated assistant.”

[ Journey of Discovery ]

Over the course of three months, leveraging a Slack bot integrated with the ChatGPT API has been an enlightening journey. The bot has become an invaluable asset, delivering prompt and accurate responses to user queries. It has revolutionized our work, automating tasks and boosting productivity. With the bot seamlessly integrated within Slack, we've experienced a more streamlined workflow, eliminating the need for managing a separate Chrome tab. This integration has facilitated efficient interactions, enhancing team productivity. As a result, our work has become even more quick, efficient, and quality-oriented, all within the convenience of the Slack platform.

"We live innovation. And we love being efficient. Combining both into one, easy-to-use solution available to all our members, is a natural path in our organisation. ChatGPT, as every other tool humanity created, when properly used by skilled people, can speed up their work and make their jobs easier. I look forward to the new, interesting tools that are going to be invented in the future. Perhaps we'll be a part of creating them ourselves. And I'll make sure we'll use those efficiently too."
