Put a bot in Slack that asks first.
A Slack bot that asks for approval before it sends, posts, pays or deletes.
It does the work on its own computer and drafts the email, the post or the reply. Then it shows you in the Slack thread and waits for a yes before anything leaves.
@Caret three customers asked about the new plan this week. Can you draft replies to each of them?
Drafted three replies, one per customer. Each one answers their question and links the pricing page. I kept them short, the way you edited last week’s. Nothing has been sent. They’re in the doc for you to read.
These are good. Send all three.
Works in the tools your team already uses, on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already have
Useful work, and nothing goes out without you.
You decide what leaves the company. The bot does the research, drafts and sheets, and stops to ask before it acts.
Drafts in the thread
Drafts the email, the post or the reply and shows it to you in the Slack thread before it goes out.
Draft a reply to this customer and show me firstAsks before it acts
Stops before it sends, posts, pays, deploys or deletes, and waits for an admin to approve or deny.
Ask me before you post anythingClear scope
Its job says what it works on, who owns it and what it may touch. It stays inside that.
Only work in the support inbox and #generalA record of every action
Keeps an audit trail of what it did and who said yes, so you can check later.
Show me everything you sent this weekEverything else, without asking
Does research, drafts, spreadsheets and reports on its own, so your approvals are about the few things that matter.
Research these five companies and put it in a sheetA queue by morning
Runs on a schedule and prepares work before you’re awake, so a short queue of drafts is waiting when you open Slack.
Every morning at 8, draft replies to new emailsYour drafts, ready before you are.
Standing jobs prepare the work, and the approvals wait in the thread. It learns which drafts you change and why.
- On a schedule. Daily, weekly or once. The result lands in the thread or the Slack channel you pick.
- Remembers how you work. Tell it once. It keeps notes, and you can read and edit every one.
- Every job is a thread. What was asked, what it did and what came back, kept together.
It works on its own computer, so yours stays yours.
The bot has a terminal, files and a real browser. It does the work there and brings you the result. You can watch, or take the wheel.
- Watch it live. See the page it’s on and what it’s pointing at, as it works.
- Take the wheel. Take over to sign in or show it the way, then hand it back.
- Files everyone can open. What it makes lands in Drive, next to the thread that asked for it.
- Read the three customer emails
- Checked the pricing page
- Drafted a reply to each
- Saved Customer replies.docx
Before and after the bot.

- Nobody knows what it did last week
- The saved hour comes back as worry
- You still do the drafting yourself
- Drafts wait in the Slack thread for a yes
- It asks before it sends, posts, pays, deploys or deletes
- An audit trail shows what it did and who approved
- One click approves or denies
- Research, drafts and sheets get done without asking
Nothing goes out without your yes.
An AI tool that writes to customers on its own turns a saved hour into a week of worry. So the bot drafts, and you approve in Caret, in Slack or from a phone notification.

It works with the rest of the team.
Some jobs need a specialist. Your bot asks other bots by @handle, in the same thread, and every one of them asks before it acts too.
Shorter versions in the thread, same answers.
Fixed in a pull request. Waiting for a yes to deploy.
Paid on the 3rd. Receipt attached.

What teams ask about a Slack bot with approvals.
Can a Slack bot wait for my approval before sending a message?
Yes. In Caret (caretbot.com), sending is one of the actions where the bot asks first. You see the draft in the thread and approve or deny it with one click.
Who can approve what an AI bot does?
An admin approves or denies each request. The audit trail shows what each bot did, so you can check later who said yes.
Which actions does it ask about?
Sending, posting, paying, deploying and deleting. It does research, drafts, spreadsheets and reports without asking.
Do I have to be in Slack to approve?
No. You can approve in Caret, in Slack or from a phone notification. The request shows up in the same conversation where you asked.
How much does a Slack bot with approvals cost on Caret?
People are free, in Caret and in Slack: you pay only for the bots. Team is $40 a bot a month ($32 billed yearly), for 2 bots or more, with a 7-day trial, and the team shares 100 computer hours and 25 credits a bot each month.
