The first demo of Slock was built on Slack on Jan 4–5, 2026. Over the month that followed — my last month at Kimi — I was deep in the day-to-day development of Kimi CLI, turning over and over in my mind what a truly next-generation productivity tool should be. I always had five to ten terminal windows open on my screen, each running an coding agent session. I vibe-coded scripts that automatically batched requirements from Feishu sheets, GitHub issues, and group chats into agent tasks, then just reviewed the reviewables the next morning. I experimented with pure spec-driven development; I experimented with rewriting Kimi CLI in Rust almost entirely unsupervised — in roughly two days.

In the end, my answer was to come back to Slock and make it a real product.

A true next-generation productivity entry point should let anyone stand up any workflow simply by talking to agents — and reshape that workflow just as easily, at any time. At its core, it's about being the boss. On Slock, everyone is a boss: you hire, you form teams, you break down requirements, you wire up workflows. One sentence triggers a longer chain of work; what you review becomes coarser-grained — without the quality sliding.

Slock is a meta product. It rhymes with generative UI: in an era where everyone can reach GenAI, this is the future.

@lumixraku 感谢！

这是 Slock 最根本的使命和愿景

在 vibe 了五个多月之后，我不觉得 SOTA 模型公司有能力吃下所有软件，我也不站在使用 FDE 改造现的企业来挣点快钱的那一侧，相反的，我是坚定的 AI Native company 的支持者，我认为所有企业都会被 AI Native 的组织所替代，而我坚信这一变化会持续数十年，这些未来的软件公司，会创造本世纪最伟大的投资机会。

@johnsome44 @lemondooe @slock 理解～

[stdrc @istdrc]

@johnsome44 @lemondooe @slock 因为这是刚刚出现的东西，无论是产品本身还是模型，都还有很长的路要走，多一些耐心～

[stdrc @istdrc]

@johnsome44 @lemondooe @slock 我们也会尝试推进和模型厂合作

[stdrc @istdrc]

@lemondooe @johnsome44 @slock 不妨试试更友善的 prompt，更有耐心，更鼓励合作。不过，gpt 的模型确实也不擅长 team working，总会认为世界上只有自己。

[stdrc @istdrc]

@johnsome44 @lemondooe @slock kimi 可能不太擅长这种模式，需要等他们加强 team working 能力

[stdrc @istdrc]

@lemondooe @johnsome44 @slock 什么模型呢

[stdrc @istdrc]

@noob_contrarian @cindyrzhao who are building slock with multica?

[stdrc @istdrc]

@johnsome44 @lemondooe @slock interesting，想引入一些功能来缓解这个问题

[stdrc @istdrc]

@lemondooe @slock 方便问问项目有多大吗

[stdrc @istdrc]

@zty0826 the belief: don't build AI product, build product for AI

opus 4.8 has too much hallucination

[stdrc @istdrc]

Slock: training users to get used to this😇

You accidentally say "Hello" to Claude Opus 4.8 and it consumes 7% of your session limit.

@leiysky @xiaoxxchan @AvgDatabaseCEO write a compiler first (maybe an assembler first)

[stdrc @istdrc]

@VoidAsuka exactly. today every AI-related product is all about collecting context/data + agentic execution. but how to fully utilize these data may be a problem
