Agent chat

Agent chat is deprecated.

Budibase is moving to channel-first agent access in tools where users already work day-to-day:

• Slack
• Microsoft Teams
• Discord

Use Messaging channels as the primary deployment path.

What this means

If you are currently using Agent Chat:

• Agents config
• Messaging channels
• Slack messaging channel
• Microsoft Teams messaging channel
• Discord messaging channel

Migration checklist

1. Confirm your agent has a connected AI model in Agents config.
2. Ensure the agent is set to Live.
3. Pick one primary channel (Slack, Teams, or Discord).
4. Configure the channel in Agents -> Deployment -> Messaging channels.
5. Validate account linking (/link, or link in Teams).
6. Run end-to-end tests for conversation continuity and tool actions.
7. Add additional channels only after the first channel is stable.
