Slack API is painfully slow and rate-limited. It clearly wasn’t built for agents. Last night I asked Codex/Astra to search a huge Slack channel. My auth broke, so instead of using the API, it just used computer use. I watched it scroll through Slack quickly, faster than API. AI won’t wait for APIs, maybe.

Slackbot can now answer questions about your meetings! Ask it to connect Granola, then ask "what did we decide about project astra?", "who do I need to follow up with?" or anything else about your conversations.

Slackbot just leveled up. 🤖 ✨ Amy Bauer, Senior Director of Product Management, shares Big Mode: a dedicated surface for scaling your workflows, deeper research, analysis, and automation. Slackbot does the heavy lifting so you can focus on the work that only you can do.

Slack just redefined what a channel is. Slack Code lets agents like Claude Code and Devin create their own channels, work in the open with live diffs and previews, then archive themselves into an audit log when done. That's not a coding feature. That's a channel with structure, state, and a lifecycle. And it's multiplayer: engineers, marketers, and PMs all steering agents in the same space. Slack isn't where you talk about work anymore. It's the engagement layer where work happens. #SlackCode# #Slack# #AIAgents# #AgenticAI# #Salesforce# #FutureOfWork# @Benioff @SlackAPI @SlackHQ @claudeai @github
