Grant the permission. ChatBees only requires the necessary permissions to read and send messages.

The employee can directly ask the bot a question, and the interaction will remain private, visible only to the employee. Alternatively, you can add the ChatBees Slackbot to a public channel, allowing everyone in the channel to use the slash command `/bees` to ask questions publicly.

## /bees command

The `/bees your question?` command is used to ask a question against the collection. The bot will analyze all the documents and information that have been shared in the collection, and generate the relevant answer.

{% hint style="info" %}
The default permissions for `/bees` allow everyone to use it in the channel that ChatBees is added to. Please make sure you add ChatBees to the channels that people want to use it.
{% endhint %}
