# Querying Sumble from Slack

The Sumble Slack agent gives each rep a personal AI assistant that can research accounts, find prospects, rank your book of business, and analyze sales plays — all without leaving Slack.

Open the Sumble app in Slack and start a conversation, or use one of the quick-start actions in the **Home** tab.

{% hint style="info" %}
The AI agent is available on Pro and Enterprise plans. Free plan users receive [Signal alerts](/slack-agent/signals-alerts-in-slack.md) only.
{% endhint %}

## Quick-start actions

The **Home** tab includes four one-click actions:

| Action             | What it does                                                             |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Intelligence Brief | Research a company, including hiring trends, tech stack, and key signals |
| Find Prospects     | Surface new accounts that fit your ICP                                   |
| Rank Accounts      | Prioritize your current book of business                                 |
| Sales Plays        | Upload a document and get suggested next steps                           |

Click any action to start a thread, or ask the agent anything directly.

## Example prompts

From prospecting to expansion, the agent is built for every role in the revenue org:

* "Here's a list of event attendees. Look them up in Sumble and draft a follow-up email for each."
* "Check my accounts in Sumble and tell me the top five I should prioritize today."
* "Create a game plan for the Acme account."
* "Here are my top MQLs this week. What's their data tech stack — warehouses, ETL tools, etc. — and what's a good angle for outreach?"
* "Find me whitespace accounts that fit our ICP but aren't in our CRM."

## Attaching files

You can attach files directly to any Slack message and the agent reads them in-thread. Supported formats include documents (PDF, Word, plain text), spreadsheets (Excel, OpenDocument), presentations (PowerPoint, OpenDocument), and images (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP).

You can attach up to 5 files per message, each up to 500 KB. Files stay available for the duration of the thread, so you don't need to re-attach them in follow-up messages.

## Memory

The agent maintains memory within each Slack thread for 14 days. As you share context like your ICP, key accounts, and priorities, it builds on it across follow-up messages — so you can pick up a conversation days later and it will know where you left off.

## Credits

Each agent response consumes credits from your plan's monthly allowance, based on the tools and data lookups involved. More complex requests use more credits than a simple account lookup.

See the [MCP tools reference](/api/mcp.md) for per-tool credit costs, and check your remaining credits in [Account Settings](https://sumble.com/account/settings).
