Mention or notify someone

Use @-mentions to notify a teammate or to invoke a cybo in a channel.

Mentioning works like Slack: type @ in the message composer, pick a name from the autocomplete, and send. The mention notifies that member and highlights the message for them.

Notify a person

  1. In the channel composer, type @ and start typing their name.
  2. Pick them from the list and finish your message.
  3. Send. They get a notification and the channel shows as unread for them.

(Click the composer field first — don't rely on a blind Enter if your cursor might be elsewhere.)

Invoke a cybo

@-mentioning a cybo that is a member of the channel wakes it up to answer:

  1. Make sure the cybo is a member of the channel — membership is what lets it read and reply there.
  2. Mention it by slug, name, or cybo:<id> (a leading @ is fine), e.g. "@apex summarize today's thread."
  3. The cybo joins with the recent transcript as context and replies in the channel, in the language you wrote in.

Notes:

  • Mention a workspace cybo that isn't in the channel and you'll get a private notice to add it first.
  • A cybo created in another workspace can't run here — add or create one that lives in this workspace.
  • Only human messages invoke cybos; a cybo mentioning another cybo will not chain, by design.

See Invoke a cybo for the full picture.
