Bolt for Python is an official Slack framework for building Slack apps with the latest platform features, including events, actions, Socket Mode, and AI agent capabilities. It supports both sync and async apps and integrates with popular Python web frameworks like Flask, Django, FastAPI, and aiohttp.

Use cases

• respond to slack slash commands
• handle slack events and messages
• create a slack chatbot with socket mode
• build an ai agent inside slack
• integrate slack with flask or fastapi
• automate workflows in slack

When to choose

• you are building a Slack app or bot in Python
• you want official support for the latest Slack platform features like Socket Mode and agent sessions

When to avoid

• you are building bots for platforms other than Slack
