The AI-native productivity suite won’t just integrate generative agents
…it will also bring in older research around semantic search and recommender systems which have been deployed in consumer software for a while but not enterprise software where it’s more valuable
Slack, Linear, and Notion have a bunch of confusing dropdowns/syntax if you want to search for "stuff by person"
We built an app that just reads english
You know where I'm still handwriting artisanal code?
Not in an IDE…in docs/chat, surprisingly
Since I write specs for my agents in docs or send code snippets over chat to engineers
So we added common IDE keyboard shortcuts to our editor (auto indent, balanced parens, etc)
How many times have you opened a chat then forgot to respond because it disappeared from your life forever?
(I've done this way too much…)
Marking messages as read when you open them was a mistake
We built an app where notifications only go away once you reply or react
This is a sign that you need an agent command center
You're using 5 agents but how do they share context? How do you get work done without constantly switching between 5 different apps??
We're building the best API/CLI/MCP for agents so you can direct them all in one place
Reading long threads is not something you should be doing in 2026
So we built agents that see what you're currently looking at, find what matters, and draft your response
You spent 20 mins this morning opening Slack, Notion, and Linear just to get context
We built an app where that's one scroll instead. The feed shows you new messages and doc/task previews in one place
Why does every other tool make you open four tabs just to reference a project in a doc? In alpine you preview the whole thing right from search and link it in 2 clicks
Got a repetitive workflow? Adding {{Variable}}s in Alpine turns your task/doc into a template
Real workflow at our company when we need to provision a custom bot for a customer:
The future is working with agents like we work with people
(e.g. mention ChatGPT in a comment and it pops in with feedback)
…this isn't theoretical. Available in Alpine today
Alpine assembles everyone who reacts to your post into a "party" so you get the whole vibe at a glance
…it's like people actually came together into a room to support you <3
Bonus: you react with a radial picker (inspired by video games) because a grid of emojis is boring
New hire day 1 shouldn't be a Slack channel scavenger hunt
@ any channel in Alpine and it shows up as a live preview they can subscribe to right there, without leaving the page
I keep seeing a lot of this since we launched Alpine
"Nothing has replaced Workplace"
Not Slack, not Notion, and definitely not Teams
The gap is still wide open
