How HuggingFace Built Moon Bot: A Slack-Native Coding Agent Using Their Own Infrastructure
By
Eliott Coyac, Caleb Fahlgren, Franck Abgrall
Summary
HuggingFace built "Moon Bot," an always-on Slack-native coding agent that lives in their team's Slack workspace and provides instant access to internal systems (Elasticsearch, MongoDB, codebases) without context-switching. The bot is backed by HuggingFace's own infrastructure (HuggingFace Buckets) and remembers everything, acting as a persistent engineering assistant that collapses multiple tools and data sources into a single Slack thread.

The HuggingFace team lives in Slack. But answering a question often means context-switching: Elasticsearch for access logs, MongoDB for user data, the IDE for code, each with its own interface and SSO flow.
And no single person has the full picture of every codebase — Hub, Xet storage, Spaces, and Endpoints each have their own complexity.
