Meta is switching to Slack because it says it's better for AI agents
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Bloomberg/Getty Images Meta is migrating to Slack for internal communications, a memo from AI chief Alexandr Wang says. Meta said it's making the switch because Slack is the best tool for using AI agents. The move is a win for Slack owner Salesforce after battling concerns about AI's impact on software. Get ready to hear Slack notifications if you work at Meta. The tech giant is switching over from Google Chat to Slack for internal communications, according to a memo its AI chief, Alexandr Wang, sent out this week. Meta is making the move because it says Slack is better for handling AI agents, the memo reads. "Slack is the strongest platform available today for agents, which is why we're deciding to make the switch," it says. "Slack has a rich conversational interface for agents, mature developer tooling and strong 3P integrations. While not all of us are building agents today, everyone at the company will benefit from a robust and useful agent ecosystem." Wang's comment about "strong 3P integrations" refers to third-party integrations, meaning Slack is not only attractive because of the tool itself but because it already has a large range of external tool
