Natural Language

Hitler understands natural language in any supported language. You don’t need to memorize exact syntax — the AI figures out what you want and uses the right tools to help.

@Hitler remind me to call John tomorrow
@Hitler how many tasks do I have?
@Hitler mark the budget review as done

@Hitler kal mujhe report submit karna hai
@Hitler kya tasks hai mere pending?
@Hitler meri tasks batao

@Hitler añade una tarea: revisar el presupuesto
@Hitler cuántas tareas tengo?

The AI uses tool calling to access real data (tasks, moods, stats) and auto-confirms task creation.

Conversational AI

Hitler goes beyond commands - it’s a conversational assistant that understands context.

Casual Conversations

You can chat naturally with Hitler:

User: hey, how's it going?
Hitler: hey! doing good, what's up?

User: feeling a bit overwhelmed today
Hitler: hang in there. want to talk about what's on your plate?

Hitler detects mood signals in your messages and may silently log mood inferences to help track wellbeing over time.

Casual Task Mentions

Hitler picks up tasks even when you mention them casually. Tasks are auto-confirmed:

User: tomorrow I need to finish the report and send invoices

Hitler: got it, adding 2 tasks:
1. ⏳ #14 finish the report
2. ⏳ #15 send invoices

You don’t need explicit task syntax - Hitler detects plans from natural conversation.

Multiple Tasks at Once

Mention several tasks in one message:

User: my tasks for the week: review budget, call client, and update docs

Hitler: got it, adding 3 tasks:
1. ⏳ #16 review budget
2. ⏳ #17 call client
3. ⏳ #18 update docs

Context Awareness

Hitler remembers your recent conversation:

User: I have a meeting with Sarah at 3
Hitler: noted, adding that as a task

User: actually make it 4
Hitler: updated: meeting with Sarah at 4

Thread Replies

After Hitler first responds in a thread, you don’t need to @mention it again - just reply directly.

User: @Hitler what's on my list?
Hitler: you have 3 pending tasks...

User: mark the first one done    <- no @mention needed
Hitler: done: #7 review the budget

Language Support

Hitler understands English and Hinglish (Hindi-English mix):

User: kal mujhe report submit karna hai
Hitler: got it, adding "submit report" for tomorrow

Interactive Messages

Task list messages include interactive controls for quick actions: Each task in the /tasks list has a status dropdown menu. Select a new status to update the task inline:

Status	Meaning
Pending	Not started yet
In Progress	Currently working on it
Completed	Done
Blocked	Cannot proceed

The task list refreshes automatically after you change a status.

Blocked Button

Each task has a Blocked button. Clicking it opens a modal where you enter the blocker reason. The task status is updated and the blocker is tracked for escalation.

Extend Button

Each task has an Extend button. Clicking it opens a modal where you type a new due date in natural language (e.g. “tomorrow 5pm”, “in 3 hours”, “next friday”). The due date is updated and you receive a DM confirmation.

Mood Buttons

When the bot sends a mood check-in prompt, click one of the 5 emoji buttons (1-5) to log your mood instantly.

AI App Features

Hitler supports Slack’s AI App (Assistant) framework, enabling a split-pane experience alongside any Slack channel.

Split-Pane Assistant View

Click the Hitler app icon in any channel header to open the assistant in a side panel. This gives you a dedicated 1:1 conversation thread without leaving the channel you’re working in.

Suggested Prompts

When you open the assistant, context-aware prompt suggestions appear:

Default prompts: “My Tasks”, “New Task”, “My Status”, “Help”
Client channel prompts: When viewing a client channel, prompts automatically adjust to show client-specific actions like “Show [Client] Tasks” and “Create task for [Client]”
General channel prompts: Shows “Channel Tasks” to query tasks related to the current channel

Prompts update automatically when you switch channels.

Loading States

While the bot processes your message, it displays an “is thinking…” status indicator in the assistant thread.

Streaming Responses

In the assistant view, longer responses stream progressively — you see the response build up sentence by sentence rather than waiting for the full reply. This provides faster perceived response times. Short responses and structured content (task lists, blocks) are delivered instantly.

Context-Aware Prompts

The assistant detects which channel you’re viewing and customizes its suggestions. If you’re in a client’s Slack channel (matched by the client’s configured slackChannelId), the prompts shift to client-specific actions. This makes it faster to create and query tasks for the client you’re currently focused on.

App Home Tab

The Hitler bot provides an App Home tab in Slack with information about available features:

Tasks — create and manage tasks with natural language
Mood Tracking — log daily mood on a 1-5 scale
Private Journal — keep notes only you can see
Inquiries — start private conversations with HR/management

Click on the Hitler app in your Slack sidebar to access the Home tab.
