ICYMI, April was a big month for us. ‼️

We shipped AI that actually acts on your behalf, a developer kit that gets you from zero to working agents in minutes, and a smarter way to see everything that needs your attention.

Here's a roundup everything that dropped in Slack. 🧵👇

Not surprisingly, @Meghana Dhar has it right again 😀Slackbot can summarize conversations happening in public channels, or in private channels you already have permission to access.

Private channels are exactly that: private. DMs are private. That’s how the system is built.

New Shift AI podcast with @boazashkenazy and @slackhq diving into Slackbot, MCP connectors, agent orchestration, and Slack as the interface for agentic work.

Really strong live demo showing humans + agents collaborating directly in the flow of work 👀 https://t.co/ymUML1JNq6

"The company moves at the speed of its slowest secret.”

@tobi nailed something big here:

AI gets better when teams can see the work.

River ran across 4,450 Slack channels at @Shopify last month. Thousands of people weren’t just using an agent. They were learning how to work with one together.

Shared context is the feature.

Bring your AI coding assistant out of the terminal and into the conversation. 🚀

With the @Claude app for Slack, your entire team can easily turn ideas into pull requests.

Watch @CasJam show how non-devs can kick off prototypes and get codebase answers instantly. 👇

"Anthropic largely runs on Slack...I love the hackability."
@_catwu, Head of Product for Claude Code at @AnthropicAI, on @lennysan's pod.
The fastest teams aren't winning with more AI. They're winning where humans, agents, data, and apps come together.

[Slack @SlackHQ]

AI agents are everywhere. But if they live in isolated browser tabs, disconnected from where your team actually works, they're just expensive toys.

Slack is changing that. Here's what we're shipping for developers 👇

I get asked, "Is Convoy a tech provider or do you focus on relationships?" That's a false trade-off. You can't be a tech innovator for other businesses without having great relationships with the decision-makers at those businesses. I talked about this today with @CHEPna. 1/

[Dan Lewis @daniellewis]

Big news! Any freight broker can now access @convoyteam digitally-connected truckload capacity and automated payment/fulfillment tools. You don't have to have a big tech budget or software team to go digital and automate covering your loads. And there's no up front costs...

[FreightWaves @FreightWaves]

“There’s a lot of waste in the freight industry, and we believe much of it can be avoided with new approaches to capacity sourcing and shipment automation.”

[Convoy @convoyteam]

This moment has been years in the making. Today, we are sharing that Convoy is expanding our nationwide Drop solution beyond primary, and we are the first company to provide drop capacity across primary, backup, and spot freight. #Truckyeah #Convoy

[Dan Lewis @daniellewis]

Today we released our first annual corporate sustainability report. I'm proud of so many @convoyteam people that worked on this for years...this is definitely an area for startups to start early, be imperfect, and learn while doing. kudos @Jenerationy
