# Chat with the agent

> Talk to the Nuphos agent from Slack and iMessage — without opening the desktop app.

The agent doesn't only live in the desktop app. Once your team connects Slack or
iMessage, you can talk to it from where you already work — ask a question from a
channel, get paged about an incident and reply on your phone.

## From Slack

Add the Nuphos bot to a channel and map that channel to your team. Mention the bot
or message it and it runs an agent session, replying in the channel. Multiple
people in a channel can interact with the same agent. Set this up in
[Slack connector](/connectors/slack).

## From iMessage

Pair your phone once (a code from the desktop app), and the agent becomes a
contact you can text. It threads its replies back to you, splitting long answers
into readable chunks. Set this up in [iMessage connector](/connectors/imessage).

## Reply modes

In both channels the agent can reply in one of two styles:

* **Status updates** — an initial acknowledgement message is updated in place as
  the agent works, so you watch progress on one message.
* **Threaded reply** — the agent posts its final answer as a reply when it's done.

## Same agent, same guardrails

Talking from Slack or iMessage runs the **same** agent against the **same**
connected accounts, under the same controls. It can investigate and propose
[plans](/agent/plans) — and any change still needs human
[approval](/security/approvals) before it executes.
