On 29 July 2026 Shivanath Devinarayanan joined Asymbl’s webinar The Operating System for Human-Agent Work: How Slack Makes AI Adoption Actually Stick. Lauren Esposito hosted. Gillian Bruce represented Slack. Derek Jamieson ran the demo. The argument: put the agent in the Slack thread where the work already lives, then judge the setup by whether people keep using it.

Asymbl webinar. Speaker. Watch on Asymbl. Slack as the place humans and agents share context.
Takeaways
- Agents stall when they live outside the flow of work, because the context they need sits in the conversation humans already have.
- Slack is where humans and agents can share the same context, so the agent reads the thread instead of a ticket dumped after the fact.
- Judge an AI setup by whether people will actually use it in the channel, not by a demo that never reaches the work.
