Starting a Conversation

To start a conversation with a PotpieAI agent:

1. Type /potpie in any channel or direct message
2. A modal will open with the following options:
   • Repository selection (choose from your parsed repositories)
   • Agent selection (choose which AI agent to use)
   • Query input (ask your initial question)
3. Fill in all fields and click “Submit”

PotpieAI will create a new thread with your query and respond with an answer based on your codebase.

​

Continuing the Conversation

To continue an existing conversation:

1. Reply to the thread by @mentioning PotpieAI (e.g., @PotpieAI tell me more about this function)
2. The agent will process your follow-up question within the context of the ongoing conversation

​

Troubleshooting

​

Common Issues

Issue: “You haven’t authenticated yet” message
Solution: Use the /authenticate command to set up your API token

Issue: “You don’t have any ready projects” message
Solution: Go to the PotpieAI dashboard and parse your repository first
