A Channel is where you interact with Dosu. Think of it as the “place” where Dosu is active and can help your team. A channel can be:

  • A GitHub repository (where Dosu can comment on issues and pull requests)
  • A Slack channel (where team members can ask questions)
  • Other supported platforms

​
How Channels Work

Every channel has its own configuration that determines how Dosu behaves in that specific location. You can configure Dosu to:

  • Automatically label issues and pull requests
  • Auto-reply to new issues with helpful information
  • Generate draft responses for maintainer review
  • And much more

When talking to Dosu in a channel, you can summon it by mentioning @Dosu. Dosu has access to all of the data sources you’ve connected to your organization, so it can provide informed responses based on your project’s context.
