Slack integration
Yes. Personal Academy has a Slack app, including Enterprise Grid workspaces. People type /academy commands to see what is due, ask questions answered from your courses and articles, practise, and join sessions; managers can assign courses. Optional nudges respect daily and weekly caps and quiet hours. Slack delivery needs the Basic plan or above. The adapter is built, but a live end-to-end pass in a customer workspace is still pending.

Included from the Basic plan, $1 per active user per month.
At a glance
Install the Personal Academy app in Slack and people learn where they already work. The bot answers slash commands and direct messages; it does not read channel history. Rich activities such as role-play open in Personal Academy rather than inside Slack.

Nudge limits
Every optional message passes the same checks before it is sent. These are the defaults.
Daily and weekly caps
By default a person gets at most 2 optional nudges a day and 6 a week. The organisation and each person can lower or change these caps.
Quiet hours
Nudges wait outside working hours: by default the organisation is active from 08:00 to 18:00, and a person can set their own quiet window.
Do not disturb
When the chat platform reports a person as do-not-disturb, an optional nudge is held and retried later instead of being sent.
