Working with Ari is delegation, not programming. There’s no syntax to memorize; you describe the outcome you want in plain English, the way you’d brief a colleague, and Ari figures out the steps across your connected systems.

​
The basics

1

Mention Ari anywhere he's been added

Type @Ari followed by your request in any channel, thread, or direct message.
  • @Ari what invoices are overdue?
  • @Ari send a reminder to acme-corp for invoice #INV-2024-001
  • @Ari show me this week's new contracts
2

Follow up in the thread

Ari reads the entire thread and keeps the context. If someone mentions a customer in the main channel, reply in the thread with @Ari what's their payment history? and he knows exactly who you mean. A new thread starts a fresh conversation.
3

Refine instead of restarting

If the answer isn’t quite right, say so in the thread: “make the due date 45 days instead,” “now just the enterprise segment,” “sort by amount descending.” Ari revises without losing the work.

​
Ask like a manager

The quality of Ari’s work tracks the quality of the request, same as any teammate. The pattern behind every good assignment: who + what + constraints.
❌ Vague: @Ari show me customers✓ Specific: @Ari show me customers who haven't paid in 60+ days and owe more than $10K❌ Vague: @Ari send reminders✓ Specific: @Ari send payment reminders to all customers with invoices over 45 days overdue, using the standard template
“As a table,” “grouped by product first,” “ranked by amount descending.” Say it in the request and the answer arrives meeting-ready. If you always want the same format, make it a standing rule with Instructions.
For complex analysis (“compare all active contracts against Stripe”), include the time range and what a good answer looks like. Ari will tell you when a question needs a longer-running analysis and reply in the thread when it’s done.

Copy these and swap in your own customers and amounts. Each pair shows the kind of reply to expect.

Automation

Each playbook has a fuller set for its job.

​
Set up the workspace for delegation

  • Dedicated channels keep work findable: #ar-team for daily AR, #collections for strategy and follow-ups, #customer-issues for the complicated ones. Invite Ari to each.
  • Pin important responses so distributed teammates see the decisions being made.
  • Use direct messages for private queries; Ari works there too.

​
What happens after you ask

Questions and lookups come back directly. Anything that changes data or contacts a customer comes back as a plan with an Approve button first. That review step is yours: see Review plans and approvals.
