# Slack Agent

> The DinoAI Slack Agent runs autonomously from any Slack channel or DM, executing dbt™ models, querying your warehouse, and opening PRs without opening the IDE.

The DinoAI Slack Agent runs autonomously in the background, executing dbt™ models, querying your warehouse, and opening PRs, all without you needing to be in the IDE. You interact with it entirely through Slack.

***

### How It Works

1. You send a task to the Paradime bot in a Slack channel
2. DinoAI picks it up, works in the background, and reports back when done
3. Progress updates, results, and errors all land in the same channel thread

***

### Prerequisites

Before setting up the Slack Agent, make sure you have:

* Admin access to your Paradime workspace
* GitHub organisation owner access (or someone on your team who does)
* Data warehouse credentials for DinoAI (a dedicated service account with scoped permissions is recommended)

> **New to Paradime?** Set up your workspace first before enabling the Slack Agent. Note that a CodeIDE connection is required during onboarding even if you plan to use the agent only (this requirement will be removed in a future update). [Set up your Paradime workspace →](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/guides/paradime-101/getting-started-with-your-paradime-workspace/creating-a-workspace)
