TLDR
- Draft a Tracy AI Interviewer interview in Slack, by message or @mention, and invite people by email. Each person takes a video interview with follow-ups, and you get a recording, a transcript timed to it and integrity signals.
- You can also list your interviews and see where results stand.
- She shows a preview first and creates or sends nothing until you press Approve. In a channel, only one short line is visible to others; the answer goes to your direct message.
- You add her from Tracy's own page, not Slack's app directory. Your first 3 results are free.
Fact-checked on 4 Nov 2026 against Tracy's own Slack guide, which is listed under Sources.
With Tracy AI Interviewer in Slack, you start interviews from the workspace you already use. The interview itself is a two-way video interview in which Tracy can read the CV and tailor questions to it, follow up on what the person says, and leave a recording, a transcript timed to the recording and integrity signals with evidence for a person to review. Teams can also connect Tracy through the API and MCP.
"AI interview in Slack" can mean two things. One is an interviewer that talks to candidates inside Slack. Tracy does not do that: each interview is a two-way video interview, and each person joins from a link in the browser with nothing to install. The other is a way to run your interviews from Slack, and that is what the Slack app does. You message Tracy, she answers, and she acts on your Tracy account.
What you can ask her
Tracy's Slack guide lists these, all in plain words:
- List your interviews.
- See who is on an interview and where their results stand.
- Check how many free results and credits you have left.
- Draft an interview.
- Invite people by email.
Typing /tracy help in Slack shows the commands that do the same. Three questions the guide suggests to start: "Which interviews do I have?", "Who is on my customer success interview, and where do their results stand?" and "How many free results and credits do I have left?"
Drafting and inviting both stop at a preview. Nothing is created or sent until you press Approve.
The guide lists checking where results stand and optional alerts when a result is ready. Reading a full report inside Slack is not on that list.
Add Tracy to Slack
You need a Tracy account, and a Slack workspace you can add apps to. If your workspace asks an admin to approve new apps, ask one to approve Tracy. You do not search Slack's app directory for her. The Add to Slack button on the guide is where it starts, and if you are signed out it takes you to sign in or sign up first.
- Click Add to Slack on the guide. Slack opens and asks which workspace to add Tracy to.
- Read what Slack says Tracy will do: use slash commands, send messages as Tracy, read the direct messages sent to her and see the messages that mention her. Then click Allow.
- Land back on the Integrations page, where the Slack card says the Tracy bot was added. Adding her also links your Slack account to your Tracy account, so nothing more needs connecting.
- Open Slack and find Tracy under Apps in the sidebar. She sends a first direct message that starts "Hi, I'm Tracy, an AI interviewer".
- Ask her something, such as "Which interviews do I have?" She answers from your Tracy account, or tells you there are none yet.
Use her in a channel
Add her to the channel first: type /invite @Tracy, or open the channel's name, choose Integrations and add her from Apps. Then @mention her with a question, such as "@Tracy how many credits do I have left?"
Under your message she replies with one short line: "I replied to you in a direct message." The answer, the Connect Tracy button if you have not connected yet, and any approval preview all go to your direct message. A message in the channel that does not mention her is never read.
Tracy reads the direct messages sent to her and the channel messages that @mention her, plus the /tracy commands you type. She posts to the person she is talking to. In a channel she adds one short line under your message that mentions her. Apart from that line, the only other place she posts is an alerts channel, and only if you set one up.
If she does not answer a mention, check she was added to that channel. If you added Tracy to Slack before she answered mentions, click Add to Slack again and Allow, which grants the newer app_mentions:read permission. Whoever manages the Slack app must also subscribe it to the app_mention event, under Event Subscriptions and Subscribe to bot events, and then reinstall it.
Bring in teammates
A teammate in the same workspace does not add the app again. They send Tracy a direct message, and she replies with a Connect Tracy button. The link is good for 10 minutes. They open it themselves, sign in to their own Tracy account and click Link my account. The guide asks them not to pass the link on, because it is for the person who asked for it. Typing /tracy connect gives a fresh link if it expired.
Optional alerts channel
Open your account and use the Slack alerts panel to pick one channel. Tracy posts there when someone opens an invite, starts, finishes or leaves an interview, and when a result is ready. It is separate from talking to Tracy, so skip it if you only want the conversation.
What this suits, and what it does not
It suits a recruiter or hiring manager who lives in Slack and wants quick answers: who has finished, how many credits are left, send these three people the interview. If you recruit for client companies, AI interview tools for staffing agencies compares the wider options.
It does not replace the interview itself, and it does not show a full report in the chat. If you would rather set an interview up by describing the role in a chat window, ChatGPT does that, and Workable users can invite shortlisted candidates from the same kind of chat.
For what happens after the invite, from the candidate's side and the host's, read how AI interviews work.
What it costs
Tracy's first 3 results are free. After that one credit covers each started 20 minutes of an interview that produced a result, at $7 per credit. A session with no answers is never charged. Ask Tracy in Slack how many free results and credits you have left, and see the AI interview cost guide for how that compares with other tools.
