Ask about your own plan
It reads your Layoff Plan, jobs, and interviews. Nothing changes until you tap Yes, and it never deletes anything.
What LUMO keeps, and what it does not.
Nothing saved until you link
Before you link an account, join the check-in, or send feedback, nothing you type to LUMO is saved.
Your plan stays in private messages
A tag in a channel always runs without your account, so your plan never appears in a channel.
An AI, and it says so
LUMO tells you it is an AI and can be wrong. For layoff deadlines it links the official source.
Straight answers about the Slack.
Is it free?
Yes. Joining the Slack is free, and LUMO answers without an Offboard account, up to an hourly limit. If you link an account, each message to LUMO counts as one Ask LUMO message on your plan: 10 a day on Free, unlimited on Pro.
Can the Offboard team read what I send LUMO?
No. Nothing you type to LUMO is saved unless you link an account, join the weekly check-in, or send feedback, and the team never sees your conversations. If you join the check-in, the team sees your Friday answers, so a person can reach out if a week is rough.
What can LUMO do in a channel?
Tag @LUMO in any channel and it answers in the thread, where everyone can read it. It searches the web for current news, like layoffs at a company, salary ranges, or a rule change, and lists its sources. It finds open jobs, checks whether a job post looks real and still hiring, reads the thread above your tag, and reads a screenshot you tag it on. It answers questions about severance, buyouts, and health insurance too. Your own plan never comes up in a channel: for that, message LUMO in private.
What if I am having a really hard time?
If a message sounds like a crisis, LUMO does not give an AI answer. It sends the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988. Offboard is not a crisis service.
Want a plan to go with it?
Offboard turns what happened into a plan for the money, the benefits, and the search. LUMO in Slack can read it once you link your account.
