+**Conversations** when they want to *create or obtain a Slack group of specific

 If the intent is ambiguous, default to **Report** — it's the most

 description: Ask the Dailybot AI a question from the terminal and read the answer, non-interactively. Runs headless — a single `dailybot ask "<question>"` prints the assistant's reply to stdout (or structured JSON with `--json`), so an autonomous agent (Claude Code, CI, a bot) can query the Dailybot AI with only an API key. Use when the developer or agent says "ask Dailybot ...", "query the Dailybot AI", "what does Dailybot say about ...", or wants a one-shot answer from Dailybot's assistant.
