Windy Preferences are personal settings that let you customize your experience with Windy. Each preference can be configured independently per channel (Slack or Web), so you can tailor your experience to suit how you work in each environment.

​
Accessing your preferences

​
In the web app

Navigate to Settings > Personal Settings > Windy to view and toggle your preferences. Each preference displays channel icons (Slack, Web) as toggles. Click an icon to enable or disable that preference for that channel.

​
In Slack

You can also manage your preferences by talking to Windy directly. Open a conversation with Windy and say something like:
List my current windy preferences
Windy will display your current settings. To make a change, just ask:
Turn on the reasoning preference in Slack

​
Emoji Reactions

When enabled, Windy adds emoji reactions to your messages in Slack. This gives you quick visual acknowledgment that Windy has seen and processed your message.
  • Available on: Slack

​
Show Reasoning

When enabled, Windy’s thinking process and actions are visible to you. This lets you see how Windy arrives at its responses. Windy always uses reasoning to generate high-quality answers — this setting just controls whether you can see it.
