Felix

Felix is a Slack AI assistant that's designed to help you become a better teammate by improving your writing. It uses generative AI to help you draft messages with the right voice and style. You can tailor your Felix usage with custom prompts, tone selection and proofreading for spelling and grammar. The AI tool then sends you a preview of the rewritten message so you can approve or reject the output.

Felix is built straight into Slack, so you can use it by typing messages that start with /felix. You set up Felix the way you like it, then type a message prompt, then approve and send the rewritten message. The tool is best suited for people who want to improve their online communication skills so they can better convey their intended tone.

Felix comes in three pricing tiers based on usage:

• Free Tier: 10 calls per month for testing.
• Pro: $10 per month for 50 calls per user.
• Premium: $25 per month for 200 calls, good if you want to make Felix a fixture in your team.

Felix relies on large language models from OpenAI, and as with all such models, there's a risk that it'll produce nonsensical or wrong answers.

Using Felix can help you write more effective and empathetic messages, a boon for online communication challenges like tone-deaf messages and language barriers. With its ability to handle different tones and languages, Felix can help you improve teamwork and communication.
