How Alias Bot is different from Slack User Groups
User Groups are great for defining org-wide roles. Alias Bot is built for local, everyday coordination.
Alias Bot
Channel-specific
Lightweight and contextual
Easy to create and delete
Same alias can mean different things per channel
Fine grained notification control
Built for day-to-day coordination
Slack User Groups
Workspace-wide
Global and structural

What channel-specific aliases let you do
Same alias, different meaning per channel
#frontend → !reviewers → Alice, Bob
#backend → !reviewers → Carol, Dave
The alias adapts to the channel's context instead of forcing one global definition.
Temporary or situational teams
!launch-team for a release
!launch-team for a release
!migration for a one-off effort
Create → use → delete without consequences.
