Very cool idea Jacob :) This looks great and excited to integrate it- I did want to give some quick feedback from my end: I'll admit I'm not too experienced with Slack integrations in general but I was a little thrown by the on-boarding process. The Leo site seems like its own brand and when I ended up at Officevibe site being asked to invite people - I was a little hesitant, not really understanding the reason I have to / should be inviting my team.. and not wanting to bombard them with email signups for something I want to test out at first, etc. things like that. This is just one guy's experience - I hope its helpful. :)

@chrisd008 That's definitely helpful! I appreciate that a lot. I'll pass all of this on to the team and we'll make that process a little more clear for everyone. Thanks so much for the feedback :)

did you name this after @leowid? :P he certainly uses slack and is friendly
Jacob Shriar
@itscoreyb Haha! No, but I'm obviously a huge fan of @leowid and the whole Buffer team. It was named after Lionel "Leo" Messi after we went to watch him play soccer while we were on our trip in Barcelona.

Installed for our 25+ company now. I really like the onboarding apart from one thing: when I'm asked to pick a channel for Leo to be "deployed", there is literally _zero_ info on what will happen when I do. Will he post there? Will we admin him from that channel? What do I do? In the end, I just picked #general and hoped for the best.

@gloom303 That's great feedback, you're right that it's not 100% clear. We need to work on that. Once you pick a channel, he will introduce himself to everyone in that channel and then a private message to everyone that belongs to that channel introducing himself and explaining that what you tell him is completely anonymous. You'd admin him from within the Officevibe app, but we'll make that whole process much clearer. I really appreciate your comment and feedback!

Nice idea! We did something very similar a few months ago which others here might be interested in, as it's a free, open-source and self-hosted version of this: http://oskar.hanno.co
