Meta is switching to Slack because it says it's better for AI agents

Meta is moving employees from Google Chat to Slack, saying Salesforce's product is better suited for an ecosystem of AI agents.

Meta is moving to Slack for internal communications, according to a memo from its AI chief Alexandr Wang. The company says Slack is the best platform for handling AI agents. The move is a win for Slack's owner Salesforce, which has been investing in AI features. Slack offers a rich conversational interface, mature developer tooling and strong third-party integrations.

The memo states that Slack will benefit everyone at Meta, even if not everyone is building AI agents. This move also highlights Slack's success in incorporating AI agents into its platform.
