Big fan of agents interfaces being in native messaging channels like iMessage, telegram, WhatsApp
My team is working on similar surfaces and it’s a super interesting engineering / product challenge to make the agents conversational / feel “natural”
iMessage is especially a challenge cause you don’t have rich input elements like slack does with blocks or telegram / WhatsApp can do, so you need to come up with hacky (but still low latency) ways to present information to the user.
For teams who use agents, you want them to behave like teammates and the problem is different shape in multi-tenant systems like slack or discord where you need to juggle user context, org context, and permissions.
Two very different problems, same goal: make the agent feel like a person, not software you're operating.
Gonna write up a blog post about it below
