> Multiple Slack bots on a single AgentOS server with prefix-based routing

## Code

```python multiple_instances.py theme={null}
from os import getenv

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.db.sqlite.sqlite import SqliteDb
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.os.app import AgentOS
from agno.os.interfaces.slack import Slack
from agno.tools.websearch import WebSearchTools

agent_db = SqliteDb(session_table="agent_sessions", db_file="tmp/persistent_memory.db")

research_agent = Agent(
    name="Research Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-5-mini"),
    tools=[WebSearchTools()],
    db=agent_db,
    add_history_to_context=True,
    num_history_runs=3,
    add_datetime_to_context=True,
)

analyst_agent = Agent(
    name="Analyst Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-5-mini"),
    instructions=[
        "You are a data analyst. Help users interpret data and create insights."
    ],
    db=agent_db,
    add_history_to_context=True,
    num_history_runs=3,
    add_datetime_to_context=True,
)

agent_os = AgentOS(
    agents=[research_agent, analyst_agent],
    interfaces=[
        Slack(
            agent=research_agent,
            prefix="/research",
            token=getenv("RESEARCH_SLACK_TOKEN"),
            signing_secret=getenv("RESEARCH_SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET"),
        ),
        Slack(
            agent=analyst_agent,
            prefix="/analyst",
            token=getenv("ANALYST_SLACK_TOKEN"),
            signing_secret=getenv("ANALYST_SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET"),
        ),
    ],
)
app = agent_os.get_app()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent_os.serve(app="multiple_instances:app", reload=True)
```

## Usage

<Steps>
  <Snippet file="create-venv-step.mdx" />

  <Step title="Set Environment Variables">
    ```bash theme={null}
    export RESEARCH_SLACK_TOKEN=***
    export RESEARCH_SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=***
    export ANALYST_SLACK_TOKEN=***
    export ANALYST_SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET=***
    export OPENAI_API_KEY=***
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install Dependencies">
    ```bash theme={null}
    uv pip install 'agno[slack]'
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run Example">
    ```bash theme={null}
    python multiple_instances.py
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Event Subscriptions">
    Set each Slack app's Event Subscription URL to its prefix:

    ```
    @ResearchBot -> https://<your-ngrok-url>/research/events
    @AnalystBot  -> https://<your-ngrok-url>/analyst/events
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Key Features

* **Prefix-Based Routing**: Each agent gets its own event path (`/research/events`, `/analyst/events`)
* **Shared Server**: Both agents run on a single AgentOS instance
* **Separate Bot Tokens**: Each interface uses its own Slack app credentials
* **Shared Database**: Both agents share the same SQLite database
