# Channels
Channels bring [GitBook Assistant](https://gitbook-v2-2r744sj4m-gitbook.vercel.app/url/gitbook.com/docs/ai-and-search/gitbook-ai-assistant) and [GitBook Agent](https://gitbook-v2-2r744sj4m-gitbook.vercel.app/url/gitbook.com/docs/gitbook-agent/what-is-gitbook-agent) into the tools your team already uses. Once connected, your team can mention `@GitBook` in Slack, GitHub, or Linear to ask questions, open change requests, and keep your docs up to date — without leaving their existing workflow.
When you add a channel, you choose how GitBook shows up in that tool. Each configuration runs in one of two modes:
**Support agent:** GitBook Assistant answers questions from your team or visitors directly in the channel. Ask a question, get an answer pulled from your docs.
**Collaborator:** GitBook Agent joins as a teammate. Mention `@GitBook` to open change requests, request edits, or keep your docs in sync with what's happening in that tool. When Agent creates a change request from a channel, it automatically links it to the originating thread, issue, or pull request.
You can run multiple configurations per channel — for example, Support Agent mode for one customer-facing Slack channel, and Collaborator mode in another channel for your docs team.
To add a channel, open your site’s **Settings** and click on **Channels**.
