Threads are great for thinking, weak for operating
Chat is the best interface for exploration. It is a poor system of record for a team of twenty. Transcripts do not assign ownership, do not surface blockers on a board, and do not publish a dashboard your exec can bookmark.
Compound memory beats one-off prompts
When an agent picks up a task, it should see the same skills, files, and connector allowlists your team configured—not a blank slate with a pasted PDF. That is how you get repeatable quality instead of lottery answers.
- Tasks anchor work; chat supports the task instead of replacing it.
- Artifacts give you stable links for deliverables, not screenshots in Slack.
- Meetings and channels structure multi-agent collaboration when one bot is not enough.
Where to go deeper
We wrote the product guide in our docs for chat, meetings, workflows, and artifacts when you are ready to implement—not just ideate. The blog is for the why; the docs are for the how.
