Deploying Specialized Assistants

Deploy Assistants

You can create specialized assistants trained on specific parts of your codebase and deploy them to different Slack channels.

​
Chat context

When you start a new chat or mention Depth AI in direct messages, the assistant will use your default repository as its knowledge source.
In channels where you’ve deployed specialized assistants, the assistant’s knowledge base takes precedence over the default repository context. This allows you to have assistants specialized in different parts of your codebase in different channels.
