Pixal

Overview

Pixal is a Slack application that implements generative AI in workspaces. It connects data from your workspace to its knowledge base to answer any question regarding any subject from your Slack workspace.

The Challenge

Teams struggle to find information scattered across Slack channels, threads, and shared documents. Questions get repeated, institutional knowledge is lost, and productivity suffers when information is difficult to locate. Traditional keyword search misses contextual understanding.

The Solution

Built a Slack app that integrates with workspace data to create a searchable knowledge base powered by generative AI. Users can ask questions in natural language—summarizing discussions, finding timestamps, understanding individual perspectives, or identifying who certain individuals are—and Pixal answers based on all public data in the Slack workspace. Developed, tested, and debugged using Python and JavaScript, presented to Adobe staff during the Adobe Career Academy program.
