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.
