Hi folks! I'm one of the engineers working on the Channels SDK. This is our first public release. Our emphasis has been on making agents act like natural participants in Slack and Teams, while letting them generate UI along the way. It's built on top of AG-UI, so any agent that emits AG-UI can be brought to Slack or Teams.
We've been dogfooding this internally and have seen a surge of tiny, task-specific agents enter our channels. A lunchbot agent wraps the DoorDash CLI to handle office lunch orders, a pupfood agent wraps the Pup and GitHub CLIs to do incident triage, and a chadbot generates marketing videos on demand from GitHub PRs. We've got even more that compose PostHog, Notion, Linear, and other internal tools we use.
I had previously been pretty hot about bringing agents to the web, but I'm increasingly convinced that chat interfaces are the most natural home for useful agents.
Happy to answer any questions about our approach here!
