🎉 Developer Office Hours #1 – Slots, UCA, Timezone handling, and File Slots

Hey Developers!

Last week we kicked off our very first Developer Office Hours and wow – the energy was 🔥 many of you showed up live, we crushed a bunch of real-world questions you submitted ahead of time, and we even squeezed in a live demo of the brand-new File Slots feature that just dropped into Limited Preview.

Here were the hottest topics we tackled together:

1. Slot descriptions & smart defaults
   → How to make the assistant infer “today” vs “tomorrow” timestamps without always prompting the user (hint: clever slot description + decision policy + DSL date functions = 🤝)

2. OAuth 2.0 user consent flows (Google Workspace, GitHub, etc.)
   → Live walkthrough of the authorization-code grant + the exact connector settings you need so your agents can act on behalf of real end-users

3. Dynamic slot resolvers & output mappers
   → Why you should always be aware of the API response structure and point to a list and how to cleanly map only the fields you actually want to show the user.

4. Timezone handling in calendar plugins
   → Quick tip: use meta_info.user.timezone instead of letting everything fall back to UTC!

5. File Slots – the star of the show 🆕
   → You can now let users upload PDFs, images, CSVs, etc. directly in-chat and pass them straight into your HTTP actions
   → Docs: File Slots
   → Limited Preview is live – sign up HERE!

Big shoutout to everyone who joined live and asked amazing questions. You made this super fun and useful.

Why this matters

These office hours are 100% about getting you unblocked fast and shipping real agents in production. No fluff, just live debugging and pattern sharing from the trenches.
