Anthropic's blog interviews Slack CPO Jaime DeLanghe on building human-agent teams, arguing that workplace conversation in public channels is the context agents need to be useful. The core advice: default to public channels so agents can see decisions, ask agents to reconstruct reasoning rather than just retrieve records, and widen the surface area of accessible context across tools like Slack and Claude.

Why: If you're deploying agents in a Slack-heavy org, the practical takeaway is to shift team norms toward public-channel communication now—DMs and private threads are invisible to agents and permanently lost as training context. This is a culture change, not a tooling change, and it's worth deciding whether your team will commit to it before investing in agent integrations.
