Alias Bot is a Slack app that enables teams to create channel-specific aliases to replace long @mention chains. It allows users to define short aliases like !reviewers or !oncall that expand to notify the right people for that specific channel, preventing missed tags and wrong pings.

Key features include creating channel-specific aliases that adapt to each channel's context, supporting temporary or situational teams like !launch-team or !migration, managing rotating responsibilities with stable aliases while members change, and enabling channel-owned workflows where each channel defines what "the team" means. The bot highlights which alias was used, lists exactly who was mentioned, records when new aliases are created, and clarifies notifications to prevent over-pinging.

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. Alias Bot replies mentioning everyone associated with that alias. It's designed to be lightweight and contextual with easy creation and deletion of aliases.

Benefits include preventing cluttered channels from long mention chains, reducing notification noise, and enabling efficient coordination for teams that frequently work together in Slack. It's particularly useful for engineering teams, DevOps/SRE teams, support and incident response teams, and product/cross-functional teams.

Alias Bot is built specifically for teams that live in Slack and is designed as a channel-specific solution rather than workspace-wide like Slack User Groups. It offers a free plan with up to 3 aliases and flat pricing without per-user charges.
