I'm shocked Teams + GitHub haven't already done something like this. But I suppose that's asking a lot from Teams. I've been using Claude and other agents in Slack for some code tasks. It's mostly fine for simpler projects and products. Things like docs or specific libraries. But I'm not really convinced this is the ideal interface yet. Reviews are my bottleneck and GitHub has a great UI for this. Plus, token consump…

I never understood why GH didn't introduce chat before acquisition, I wouldn't use it post tho (b/c teams)

It's always amazing to me how everyone continues to pay a fairly ridiculous price for Slack.

But never happens.

If your enterprise is one of those corporate fortune 500 types that has Salesforce, you basically have to have Slack as it's the easiest, fastest, or at least the least miserable way of interacting with Salesforce. My friends in knowledge-worker America tell me that they are stuck between two megacorp visions of the workplace: 365/Teams/Copilot and Salesforce/Slack.
