GptPanda

GPT-Panda is a native Slack application that embeds OpenAI’s GPT-4 engine directly inside any Slack workspace. Once installed, it behaves like an ordinary Slack member: tag @GPT-Panda in channels, private groups, or direct messages and receive instant answers without leaving the conversation. The service is pitched as “zero-setup”; administrators simply add the app from the Slack App Directory, approve the requested scopes, and every user can immediately start querying the bot. No separate login, API-key handling, or credit-card entry is required on the user side.

The front-page copy highlights three headline benefits. First, universal accessibility: because the bot lives inside Slack, employees do not need to open new browser tabs or adopt another SaaS portal. Second, context awareness: GPT-Panda can read the thread that mentions it, so follow-up questions feel conversational rather than keyword-based. Third, pay-as-you-grow pricing: billing is done through Stripe, and customers can top-up credits or switch to monthly plans that pool usage across the entire workspace.

Feature-wise the site lists: (1) support for both GPT-3.5-turbo and GPT-4, selectable per query by typing /gpt3 or /gpt4; (2) conversation memory that survives thread reopening, allowing multi-turn chats; (3) role-based access control so admins can restrict usage to certain channels or user groups; (4) an optional “company prompt” field that prepends every request with custom guidelines, effectively turning the bot into an on-brand assistant; (5) usage analytics that show message count, token burn, and top users inside a web dashboard; (6) data-retention settings that let organizations auto-delete messages after a configurable period, addressing confidentiality concerns.

Security claims include OAuth 2.0 authentication, TLS 1.3 encryption in transit, and a promise that conversation data are not used to train OpenAI models. The vendor is based in the EU and states it is “GDPR-ready,” offering a Data-Processing-Agreement on request. A free seven-day trial with 500 credits is offered; after that, pricing starts at $19 for 10 000 GPT-3.5 messages or 1 000 GPT-4 messages, with volume discounts unlocking at the 100 000-credit tier.
