This week on Dev Interrupted, Slack’s Chief Product Officer, Jaime DeLanghe, joins the show to explain why enterprise AI value depends on embedding custom bots directly into your existing team communication loops rather than deploying them inside isolated, single-player chat silos. She breaks down the platform's shift toward open ecosystem standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how dynamic UI frameworks are transforming standard channels into active execution environments. Jaime details the operational realities of managing autonomous software fleets, including a striking look at how leading companies are placing hundreds of custom agents directly onto their corporate org charts.
