# Slack

## Profile

A popular corporate messaging platform.

## Role in This Source

The **canonical example** of an in-workflow surface for agent deployment. The speaker uses Slack repeatedly to argue that agents must operate where work happens — see [[claim-agents-must-live-in-workflow]] and [[action-deploy-in-slack]].

The pattern: an agent monitors a specific Slack channel for inbound requests, processes them, and posts the brief back into that same channel — eliminating context switching.
