Brandon Karl Webster (@bkwebster) reported@adilmania @SlackHQ Better alternatives exist - it’s used abundantly because of the mindshare and scale. The only replacement would be a totally new and obvious form factor that leads to the same outcome in a better way - not a better alternative to the same problem.

Conor Bronsdon (@ConorBronsdon) reported.@SlackHQ is building for multiplayer AI: tag a coding agent into a Slack conversation and it spins up a coding channel: everyone in that convo gets a live dev environment, diffs post as artifacts, and the channel winds down when the task is done. With the launch of Slack Code, Claudeforce, their MCP and more, Slack is putting Agents in the channels where teams already work, not simply in a private chat with one person. Their position is that the whole team should be able to watch, steer, and review what the agent does. Slack Chief Product Officer Jaime DeLanghe joined me on @chain_ofthought to explain how Slack is building a team AI environment, what happens mechanically when a code channel is created, why Anthropic pushes so much of its code through Slack, how the channel permission model became the agent context model, and what has to change in engineering culture when the whole team is steering one agent. I think Slack is the platform best positioned to become the context harness where enterprise agents run: agents that see what the team discusses, permissions that already exist, and a cultural opportunity hiding inside every multiplayer coding session. Chapters: (0:00) Slack as an IDE and a GitHub for your team (0:29) Who is Jaime DeLanghe (1:21) The reaction to the Slack Code launch (5:30) Why coding agents belong in a context-rich environment (6:08) Engineers now manage agents, not copy-paste code (7:24) The permission model: agents get the channel's context (11:44) What happens when a code channel is created (15:00) Why Anthropic pushes so much code through Slack (19:14) Steering one agent with many people: culture decides (24:54) Slackbot, skills, and MCPs: agents go where the work is (30:53) The solo terminal vs. agents in social spaces (33:53) Org charts and ownership when agents join the team (39:33) Learning loops and shared agent memory (42:39) Citations, recency, and accidental knowledge management (46:50) Context bloat and multi-pass search for agents (50:01) How Jaime uses Slackbot as CPO (52:38) Slack Code is V1 of multiplayer AI

Akshay (✈️ NYC) (@AgentAkki) reported@kurushdubash @patriciosainzr @SlackHQ 👋I work at Slack. Could you share a screenshot or more details on what's not working?
-
Captain (@Cap039) reported@SlackHQ One recent Slack regression: If you edit a post that contains a link, the link preview disappears. Please fix this 🙏

Paul Thornton (@Fusspawn) reported@SlackHQ @dorukkavcioglu I miss the old glitch game, had fun with some of your old founders in that :(
-
Giuseppe Skyline (@giskyexplorer) reported@gustaf @SlackHQ Notifications are the bandaid for broken reliability. WhatsApp stays quiet because it works.

Domino Mysłowski (@Domino_mys) reportedThere was Pay by Eye, by Ring, by Watch… time to Pay by Juice? 🧃💳 Okay, this one was just a joke created by Callum (FrostyTrollz). But 10 years ago, paying with your watch or ring also sounded ridiculous. A great example of how today’s joke can become tomorrow’s product is.. @SlackHQ The team behind Slack was actually building an online game called Glitch. As the founders later mentioned: “The game was absolutely preposterous.” Eventually, the game failed and was shut down. However, the internal chat tool they built to communicate became more valuable than the game itself. That tool became Slack, now used by millions of teams. 🌱 Follow for more wild growth-hacks

Kurush Dubash (@kurushdubash) reported@SlackHQ can you please revert your most recent update, it is so bad. This is terrible for anyone who is inbox 0. Please don't make me use Teams

𝐎𝐧𝐞𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐞(👑,👑) (@OneTrueHomie) reportedisn't this the same problem @PromptQL promised @sama in order to kill @SlackHQ ?
-
Bad **** (@TeaseTech) reported@thdxr @SlackHQ What's the problem?
-
Jori Lallo (@jorilallo) reported@pizzaboy @karrisaarinen @SlackHQ It's still the same agent with capability to access everything as the caller user can. If you're calling it in the channel, it has that as context so it will file issue into the project by default and answer questions about the project without you needing to name it separately. If there's situatons where it's not working as intended, would love to get screenshots

Rahul Chetia (@ayoImNotTrippin) reported@SlackHQ there’s a widespread issue with slack today. Not sure about Mac but my entire team with windows seems to be impacted. Slack becomes irresponsive on windows a few minutes in. Tried ‘repair’ and force close, but no help there. We are using app in our phones to communicate.
-
Noah Levin (@nlevin) reported@SlackHQ mobile unread state bugs continue to be quite a painful and frustrating issue… plz fix 🙏
-
Tyler (@tyhouch) reportedyo @SlackHQ please add support for viewing .html files in chat. everyones tossing these around and the download->open in chrome friction is slowing me down bigtime
-
Ellen DaSilva (@ellenjdasilva) reportedSketchy behavior: Someone from @SlackHQ joined my company channel last week saying "we're here to help you with the product" (we're not having issues). Then today started pestering me about an overdue invoice (we don't have one). Beyond violating. Shameful behavior @salesforce.

Element **** (@elementdsj) reported@SlackHQ @vercel debugging a broken deployment directly from a chat thread is actually beautiful.
-
Bhuvanesh Sridharan (@_bhuvanesh_) reportedas much hate @MicrosoftTeams gets, at least the meeting chat and other chats are on the same platform. Absence of synergy between @SlackHQ chat and Google meet is such a pet peeve. Non issue in grand scheme but still bothering whenever people send links in gmeet.

tulumpo (@tulumpo) reported$IOND still in pre-launch. second delay message, 10:31 and now 10:39. this is normal. "All NASDAQ systems are fully operational" is in the message. nothing is broken. direct listings open when price discovery settles, not on a clock. @coinbase, @SlackHQ and @Spotify all opened late too.
-
Jorge Modesto (@jorgemdsto) reported@peduarte Yes @SlackHQ messed something up recently. Search is terrible now.
-
Richard Casimir (@NWFreeZone) reported@xsupport @slackHQ X links on slack (android) Still not working. All other sites redirect properly from slack. Just NOT X.
-
Teo Vanyo Adiputra (@teostealth) reported@karrisaarinen @SlackHQ The handoff from Slack discussion to actual tracked issue is where most teams drop the ball - keeping that loop tight is harder than it sounds.
-
🇹🇼 Phillip Haydon 🇹🇼 (@philliphaydon) reportedIts really disappointing that @SlackHQ status page suggests its up, when it's clearly down and you can get up to date status from X users who are reporting the same issues.
-
Jason Alco (@jason_alco) reported@SlackHQ Our team loves the platform, but we really need to fix the mark unread feature. It’s been broken for years now. First, you should be able to mark a channel as unread without opening the channel and selecting a message. Second, half the time marking a message as unread doesn’t work. I have to go message by message, trying over and over until one works. Please fix this, thank you 🫠

jimmy hackett (@j1mmyhackett) reportedthe most dangerous bug isn't the one that crashes. it's the one that says 'all good' when it isn't. i had a checker that was supposed to flag a problem. it was reporting green. every single run. turns out it was checking the documentation of the thing it was hunting, not the thing itself. so whenever the problem existed and was documented, the checker saw the doc, said 'found it, it's tracked', and moved on. confident. wrong. this happened twice in the same week in two different places. a report card that shipped one of its four answers unconditionally regardless of the actual data. a monitor that was asserting schema state it had never actually read. both passed. both lied. the lesson i keep relearning: a check that can't fail toward a confident opposite is not a check. it's a placebo. the question isn't 'does this run without error.' the question is 'what would this have to see to fire, and can it actually see that thing.' if the answer to 'can it see it' is 'well, kind of, it reads the notes about it'. you don't have a checker. you have a script that reads its own homework. @SlackHQ kept posting green cards. @AnthropicAI's Claude Code kept summarising them as healthy. everything looked fine. nothing was. what's the quietest false-green you've shipped?

Chris Munns (@chrismunns) reportedsomehow @SlackHQ filtering of channels/DMs for last 30 days active hasn't worked for me for months. is this just a broken feature or have I done a thing.

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported8:30a Loading up the team in @SlackHQ and getting eMail down to zero. Planning out the day, so I can work out the plan.

MarketingMax.com (@MarketingMax) reportedI never call out bad marketing But this is just infuriating. I pay them thousands of dollars a year, have the app installed in my computer, phone, and even iPad … so why did I get this? And why is it not optimized for dark iPhones? Let me know if you need help @SlackHQ @Benioff

HOURLY LIFE of Fred Campos (@FredsDaily) reported6:30a Quickly getting eMail down to zero, loading the team up in @SlackHQ before a full morning of appointments.
