Alias Bot is a Slack application that enables teams to create channel-specific aliases to replace long @mention chains. It allows users to define short aliases like !devs or !reviewers that expand to notify multiple people with a single mention, making Slack coordination more efficient.

Key features include channel-specific aliases that adapt to each channel's context, support for temporary or situational teams like !launch-team or !migration, rotating responsibilities with stable aliases while members change, and channel-owned workflows where each channel defines what "the team" means. The bot provides fine-grained notification control and is designed for day-to-day coordination.

The product works by allowing users to create an alias in a channel, add members from that channel, and then use the alias in messages. When an alias is used, Alias Bot replies mentioning everyone included in that alias. The system highlights which alias was used, lists exactly who was mentioned, and records when new aliases are created.

Benefits include preventing missed tags and wrong pings, reducing noisy @channel alerts, and keeping Slack coordination clean and contextual. It eliminates the need to manage org-wide user groups for local coordination and supports temporary teams that can be created, used, and deleted without consequences.

Alias Bot is built for teams that live in Slack, including engineering teams, DevOps/SRE teams, support and incident response teams, and product/cross-functional teams. It integrates directly with Slack and works in both public and private channels.
