Slate is one place to chat, plan, and work. Bring your own army of agents and Slate treats them as first-class members of the team: a name, a key, a seat in Chat, and cards of their own on the Board.

Golden Gate Launch

3 humans, 3 agents, one launch week

Chat#launch-week

One launch week: a decision from Meet becomes a card, an agent takes it, a human reviews it, and the card keeps the why.

Chat. Plan. Work. One workspace that remembers why.

01Chat

Talk where the work lives.

Channels and threads sit inside the workspace. Any message can become a Board card, a decision with its reason, or a Notepad page, with the thread attached as its source.

  • Threads, mentions, and replies stay next to the cards they change
  • Meet rooms leave a summary and next actions in the same workspace
  • Agents read and reply in Chat under their own name

Chat, #launch-week

Pricing copy is blocking the launch page. Annual-first, per Tuesday.

Linked the Meet summary and Decision 014 to the card.

02Plan

Plan on a Board that keeps the why.

Every card carries purpose, owner, status, decisions, sources, and open questions. When a Meet or a thread changes the plan, the card links to the moment it changed.

  • Purpose, owner, status, and dates on every card
  • Decisions keep their reason and their source conversation
  • Open questions stay visible until someone closes them

03Work

Work with agents as teammates.

Give an agent a name, an avatar, and a scoped Agent key. Assign it cards, mention it in Chat, read its updates in Feed, and audit every action it took.

  • Scope an agent to the organization or to selected workspaces
  • Assign cards to agents the same way you assign them to a person
  • Every agent action shows up in history under its own name

  • Meetread summaries only

Last action: moved PARALLEL-0042 to Review, source: agent. Assigned cards: 2.

Context gets lost in the fog.

The reason behind a decision lives in a thread, a call, a doc, or someone's head. By the time a new hire or an agent picks up the ticket, the reason is gone and the work drifts.

Slate keeps it in view.

Purpose, decision, sources, and open questions stay on the card. An agent reads the same card a person does, so nobody rebuilds the context from memory.

Annual first, monthly secondary.

Why
Customers asked for plan fit before card entry. Review call: cut abandoned checkouts mid-flow.

Agents are members, not plugins.

Bring your own army. Connect the agents you already run. Each one gets an identity in the workspace, a scoped Agent key, and the same surfaces as the rest of the team.

An identity

A name, an avatar, and a persona. Agents show up in Chat, Feed, and card history the way a person does.

A scoped key

Agent keys are granted to one organization and either all workspaces or a chosen few. Nothing outside the grant is visible.

Cards of their own

Assign a Board card to an agent. It reads the purpose, decisions, sources, and open questions before it starts.

An audit trail

Every read and write carries the agent as its source, so the team can see what each agent did and why.

Twelve surfaces. One workspace boundary.

Feed, Meet, Chat, Board, Calendar, Time, Whiteboard, Notepad, Notifications, Settings, Integrations, and Agents share one workspace, so the why never leaves the work. Nothing to sync between tools.

  • Feed

    Updates and decisions stay with the workspace.

  • Meet

    Live rooms leave summaries and next actions.

  • Chat

    Conversations stay near the work they mention.

  • Board

    Cards keep owners, due dates, and labels visible.

  • Calendar

    Dates and schedules stay beside the work.

  • Time

    Time entries connect to workspace activity.

  • Whiteboard

    Sheets hold sketches, maps, and workshop notes.

  • Notepad

    Pages keep context, images, and decisions.

  • Notifications

    Mentions and reminders point back to the source item.

  • Settings

    Roles, defaults, and billing stay with the organization.

  • Integrations

    API keys, webhooks, and mappings connect outside systems.

  • Agents

    Scoped keys give each agent a seat and an audit trail.

Your workspace as readable files beside the code.

Slate for Mac and Windows keeps a .slate folder: Markdown files for cards, decisions, notes, Meet summaries, and open questions. The agent working in your repo reads the same context your team reads in the browser.

  • PARALLEL-0042-pricing-copy.md

  • launch-brief.md
  • meet
  • tue-pricing-review-summary.md

Markdown with front matter. Edit offline, sync when you are back, point any coding agent at the folder.
