Don't @me, @PostHog

PostHog now lives in Slack. Ask about your product data, debug issues, and generate PRs without leaving the thread.

One hog, two jobs

@PostHog wraps two competencies – analytics and coding – into a single agent. Explore "why did EU signups drop?", then prompt a PR to do something about it.

PostHog Code in SlackSandboxed

Tag @PostHog with a bug, edit, or a feature idea. It spins up a sandboxed environment, plans, edits files, runs the tests, and opens a draft PR.

  • "Fix the flaky billing CI job"
  • "Add a retry policy to the webhook worker"
  • "Resolve the merge conflicts on PR #1234"
PostHog AI in SlackVia MCP

Tag @PostHog with any data question. It's the same SQL-writing, statistically-minded assistant as PostHog AI, but it responds where you send work memes.

  • "Why did EU signups drop last week?"
  • "Brief me on this customer before my call"
  • "Roll out the new dashboard flag to 25%"

A typical run, from @mention to merge

@PostHog rolling out a feature flag from a Slack thread via the PostHog MCP

You don't need to know any of this to use it. But here's what happens after you hit send:

  1. The agent scans the thread for relevant content (text only, for now).
  2. It plans the work, edits files, and runs checks inside a sandboxed environment.
  3. It opens a draft PR with a detailed description, and links it back into the thread.
  4. It iterates on follow-up messages from the original requester (and politely declines commands from your colleagues).
  5. It watches CI, reruns failed jobs that look environmental, and doesn't touch workflow files.
  6. It automatically triages review comments – acts on trusted code-review bots, and flags other changes as it babysits.

Ship new features without opening your editor

Tag @PostHog with a feature idea, half a spec, or meeting notes from standup. The bot spins up cloud agents to tackle each task, which is a fancy way of saying "not on your laptop".

Bigger task? PostHog Code runs parallel agents across repos, and longer-running tasks from a desktop app – the same agent, more room to work.

Everyone can code now

It's not just engineers offloading chores. Non-technical team members can describe a problem or an idea, and the agent takes it from there.

Engineers

The fun part is building. The boring parts are now the bot's problem.

  • "Prototype the new onboarding flow as a feature-flagged variant"
  • "Instrument the checkout funnel with the events product needs"
  • "Wire up a kill-switch flag around the billing webhook"

Product managers

Generate PRs instead of PRDs. Run ad-hoc analysis without pinging an engineer.

  • "Compare activation across the last three signup variants"
  • "Spin up a 25/25/50 flag for the onboarding rewrite"
  • "Synthesize themes from this week's user interviews"

Product marketers

Draft launches faster than you can make a meme. The bot actually reads your positioning doc.

  • "Draft the launch blog from the spec doc"
  • "Update positioning across the site for the new release"
  • "Refresh the competitor comparison page with current data"

Support & Sales

Pull customer activity before the renewal call starts. Ship "Acme needs export" before the deal closes.

  • "Brief me on Acme before tomorrow's call"
  • "Find every ticket from this week mentioning rate limits"
  • "Draft a PR for the export option three customers have asked for"

PostHog AI

When you're already in the app looking at data – ask it to write the SQL, build the dashboard, or make sense of what you're seeing.

PostHog Slack app

For all the drive-by stuff you'd normally Slack a teammate about (typos, cross-repo checks, quick fixes).

PostHog Code

For real engineering work – signals from the inbox, parallel agents, anything where you care about the diff before it ships.

Building your own? PostHog MCP wires the same product context into the editor or agent of your choice.

The PostHog Slack app is free to install, and free to uninstall when you realize this means you can ship production code from your phone (which, frankly, might be too much power for anyone).
