What you can ask with Alai
Dana in Slack
Sam by email
Maito uses Alai to do the work and replies where you asked.
How to connect Alai
Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Alai. You sign in to Alai in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Alai from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Alai isn't connected yet.

Questions
Alai publishes it at https://slides-api.getalai.com/mcp/, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.
Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.
No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Alai, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.
No. If a request needs Alai and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.
Yes. After you connect, turn off any Alai tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Alai adds later stay off until you turn them on.
