Slack is such a simple product, and is so strategic as an interface for AI, Anthropic has to be considering building their own Slack. Hopefully this tag approach is an MVP and it proves the potential of workplace messaging as an interface for AI, but also the limitations of relying on the extension points they salesforce chooses to provide, and it turns into a full fledged slack competitor from anthropic soon.
Nothing, and integration in a chat app would be better served being model agnostic. Anthropic's slack bot here is also at a disadvantage being slack only. 90% of F500 companies are on Teams, not slack. If their only goal is tech companies and startups, fine, but if they intend to grow usage beyond that it needs to be chat app agnostic.
