  • "List all teams I am a member of"

  • "Show me all channels in the Marketing team"

  • "Find my recent chats with John Doe"

💬 Reading & Analyzing Conversations

  • "Summarize the last 10 messages in the Project Updates channel"

  • "What are the key points from my last meeting with the Finance team?"

  • "Extract all action items from the Q2 Planning chat"

👥 Managing Teams & Members

  • "List all members of the HR team"

  • "Get details for user jane.smith@company.com"

  • "Set my Teams presence to 'Do Not Disturb'"

📨 Messaging & Meetings

  • "Send a message to the Announcements channel"

📁 Accessing Shared Files

  • "Find all files shared in the Product Launch channel"

  • "Show me the files folder for the Design team"

  • "Get details for the file 'Q3_Plan.xlsx'"


How Does It Work?

Your account = Blockbrain's access

Blockbrain acts on your behalf using your existing Teams permissions:

  • You can only see teams, channels, chats, and files you normally have access to

  • If you can't find or open something in Teams directly, Blockbrain can't either

  • Your permissions stay exactly the same — nothing changes

Safe and secure by design

  • Your files remain in your Teams channels, OneDrive, or SharePoint

  • Blockbrain only reads or updates content when you specifically ask it to

  • All activity is logged in your organization's audit trail


Example Conversation

You: "List all channels in the Product team"

Blockbrain: "Here are the channels in the Product team:

  • General

  • Roadmap

  • Launch Planning

  • Feedback

Which channel would you like to explore?"

You: "Show me the last 5 messages in the Launch Planning channel"

Blockbrain: "Here are the last 5 messages in the Launch Planning channel:

  1. Anna (Mon, 09:14): "Can we confirm the go-live date by EOD?"

  2. Tom (Mon, 09:22): "Yes — targeting May 20. I'll update the tracker."

  3. Anna (Mon, 09:25): "Great, I'll notify the stakeholders."

  4. Lena (Mon, 10:01): "Press release draft is ready for review."

  5. Tom (Mon, 10:15): "On it — will send feedback this afternoon."

Would you like me to summarize these or extract any action items?"


Tips for Better Results

The more specific your request, the better Blockbrain can help you [4].

Be Specific

  • "Find my message"

  • "Find my message about the Q3 budget in the Finance channel"

Use File Types When Searching for Files

  • "Show me files"

  • "Show me all PDF files shared in the Marketing team last week"

Mention the Location

  • "Find the meeting"

  • "Find the meeting transcript from the Project Kickoff in the Engineering team"


Security & Privacy

  • Read messages, channel posts, and meeting transcripts you have access to

Troubleshooting

"I can't find my team or message"

  • Check if you can see it directly in Microsoft Teams

  • Try different search terms (e.g., part of the team name or channel)

  • The item might be in a team or chat you don't have access to

"Permission denied" errors

  • Your Teams permissions may have changed

  • Contact your IT team to verify your access rights

  • Try reconnecting: click ConfigureConnect again

"No Teams found"

  • You might not be a member of any Teams yet
