Bot-to-Bot Autopilot

Doti doesn’t just answer questions. With Bot-to-Bot Autopilot, Doti becomes an autonomous agent that can be triggered by other bots or systems - executing complex, multi-step processes automatically.

This is where automation meets intelligence.


What Is Bot-to-Bot Autopilot?

Bot-to-Bot Autopilot allows external bots or automated Slack workflows to trigger Doti by tagging it in a message.

Doti will:

  1. Recognize the message

  2. Trigger Autopilot

  3. Use its agentic capabilities to perform a series of steps

  4. Reply automatically with a fully contextual response


Powered by Agents

What makes this powerful is Doti’s agent framework. Each Autopilot is tied to an agent that can include multi-step instructions.

This means Doti doesn't just answer - it can think, fetch, synthesize, and act.


Example Workflow: Support Ticket Investigation

Let’s say a Support Bot posts this:

@doti New Zendesk ticket: ID 123456 - Customer is having sync issues

If Doti is connected to the Support Agent with agentic logic, it could automatically:

  1. Retrieve the ticket details using the provided ID

  2. Analyze the ticket description to find similar historical cases

  3. Search across Slack threads, Confluence docs, and support articles for context

  4. Draft a resolution, tailored to the specific problem

🪄 All of this happens from a single tagged message - no human involved.


How to Enable Bot-to-Bot Autopilot

  1. Select or create a new Autopilot

  2. In the configuration panel:

    • ✅ Enable “Allow Doti to respond to Bots”

  3. Make sure:

    • The other bot tags @doti in its message

    • Doti is a member of the channel

    • The Autopilot is connected to an Agent or Collection
