Episode notes
INSIGHT

Slack As An Agentic Work OS

  • Slack is becoming an "agentic work operating system" where humans and bots collaborate using shared context.
  • That platform shift requires structured, consistent, and grounded context to keep multi-agent workflows aligned.
INSIGHT

The Leaky Prompt Problem

  • Kurtis calls "leaky prompts" the problem where user conversations drift and derail LLM interactions over time.
  • The fix is supplying better contextual representations to LLMs so intent stays aligned and conversations remain on track.
ADVICE

Give Agents LLM-Ready Context APIs

  • Provide purpose-built context APIs and real-time search tuned for LLMs so agents can synthesize across channels and threads.
  • Expose the right context granularity to app developers and educate them via SDKs and patterns.
