Features
Give your team more than just chat. Slashwork is built around groups, posts, feed, and rich API integrations.
Signal over noise
Why create Slashwork?
Honestly, we're scratching our own itch. After years of using products like Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, and Gmail -- we wanted a higher signal, lower noise tool.
The tool you use to communicate impacts what and how you communicate. Chat-only tools make it easy to spam groups and even easier to miss important things. Because we're all coming from old-school Facebook, we have a visceral sense of just how much goodness we were missing. So we decided to build it ourselves.
Party like it's 2013
The Magic of Groups
For organized, asynchronous communication, Groups are and have for decades been the most powerful tool. Slashwork is built on top of an incredibly powerful and rich Groups model. Channels are great for ephemeral real-time chat, but Groups are far better for important updates and thoughtful, durable content.
Slashwork groups enable you to create posts, pin posts, choose privacy levels (open, closed, secret), and permalink to key conversations. The most recently updated conversations are automatically bumped to the top.
Multiple communication modes
First class chat experience
No work communication product would be complete without chat and direct messages. Slashwork is built for multiple modes of communication. For long form content, you have posts. For day to day conversations, you have best-in-class chat.
AI-enhanced, ultra-configurable
Advanced notifications
Great notifications are unsolved frontier. How do you keep notifications just noisy enough... without drowning you in pings. We started iterating on notifications from day one to nail this.
Slashwork notifications are durable -- they don't disappear the moment you touch them. They're searchable within themselves. Even more exciting, they feature advanced AI-powered aggregations and previews.
Your personal agent can manage your notifications for you. Tell your agent in your own words how and when you want to be notified and that's it. No settings screens or mute controls. Easier and more powerful than anything that has come before.
Built for deep integrations
GraphQL API & Webhooks
Your work comms tool is the heart of your operations. Slashwork is built to be wired up to every system that matters.
Our own client and mobile apps are built on top of the exact same GraphQL API that is available to developers. This means if it can be done in Slashwork, your integration can do it, too.
Our GraphQL API is specifically designed to be automatically introspected by coding agents. Hacking together tasty integrations with Claude Code (or your LLM of choice) is absolutely magical.
Tasteful AI Features
Agents that save you time
Agents inside of Slashwork are incredibly powerful and helpful. We've invested significantly in AI product infrastructure to enable agents to plan, query, and even take actions on your behalf. They can scan content, schedule posts, and much more.
Clarity when it counts
Two levels of subthreading
In time-sensitive discussions where every second counts, Channels can be a huge liability. Replies get jumbled together and the main thread turns to a soup of mixed messaging.
Slashwork solves this by enabling threads to have two levels of subthreading. This keeps time-sensitive conversations free of clutter and confusion.
Built for tech teams
Streams
A fast, clean, high quality logging UI makes it easy to keep an eye on production. Even better, every log line can be run by an agent so you don't have to babysit production errors. Tell your agent what you want to look out for and ignore everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Outlined below are answers to the most common questions we get from new teams deciding if Slashwork is the tool for them. If you don't find the answer to your question, please feel free to send us an email. A real human person will respond to you ASAP by typing words with their fingers.
Slashwork was built from the ground-up to be a tool augmented by AI, not just bolted onto the side. This means that we have all of the AI features that you expect, like a personal agent to help you find historical information, or a customized homepage which shows you the things most relevant to you personally.
But because we were built with AI from the ground-up, we have integrated AI in a million other ways, big and small, so that communicating with Slashwork is smooth and tranquil. Notifications are configured not with a giant grid of checkboxes but by a conversation with an agent. Search looks not just at the text content of a post but can find things in images too. Our API is designed for AI coding agents who have never seen it before to be able to introspect it and write custom integrations without wasting engineering time. Even something as simple as picking an emoji uses an AI semantic fuzzy search. And on and on and on. Many of these things are simple, trivial even, but they are pervasive through Slashwork and make using it a delight.
That's what we mean by AI-native.
And we've done all of this while keeping Slashwork focused on human communication and connection -- AI assistance to high-signal human comms.
Absolutely. We have a complete GraphQL API. Our own apps are built against this API, which means 100% of the power of the app is available via API. You can fetch any entity -- users, posts, groups, you name it!
Likewise, you can create posts, add reactions, and every other type of mutation.
Best of all -- our GraphQL API is completely introspectable. This means that it is incredibly easy to use coding agents like Claude Code or Gemini to create API integrations. If you're logged in to your Slashwork account, you can check out our GraphiQL Playground here: https://<your-instance>.slashwork.com/graphiql.html
Our GraphQL API is designed to be consumed by both humans and LLM coding agents. Because GraphQL introspection is enabled and documented with LLMs in mind, you can point an AI agent (like Claude or GPT) at our endpoint, and it can understand the schema and build a working integration for you from zero. It turns weeks of dev work into minutes of prompting.
We are currently rolling out the self-service UI for API management. In the meantime, we are manually provisioning keys for our design partners to ensure they can begin building high-leverage integrations immediately. Register your interest in becoming our design partner here.
The Slashwork team is composed of people who worked on Workplace and who worked on Facebook Groups, but Slashwork is not just a copy of Workplace. We're building a brand new product on top of 2026 infrastructure. AI is a key part of our product offering from the ground up. Likewise, we have the opportunity to build product experiences that were never a part of the Workplace product by Meta.
You can think of Slashwork as being inspired by Workplace, but we're building a fundamentally different product. Workplace was built on top of the infrastructure and product philosophy of Facebook. In some ways, that was ideal. But in many ways, Facebook's product philosophy meant that Workplace couldn't build the best possible product for smart teams working inside of a company. We get to build the best possible product for the companies using Slashwork with no constraints.
We are building Slashwork to work interoperatively with Slack. If you want to migrate to Slashwork incrementally or trial it with a small set of teams, we have your back. Any content created in Slashwork will be synchronized into the Slack channels you map to. In Slashwork, you'll see a feed of ranked posts. In Slack you'll see a typical Slack channel. Any content within Slack will also be visible within Slashwork as posts and replies.
We are currently building this feature. If it's something you need, please let us know!
Absolutely. We know many teams are using Slack because there is no better option. We support full synchronization of your Slack content into Slashwork. We've also built AI-powered sub-thread detection to help with the pesky problem of people replying to an earlier post outside of a thread.
No. AI is a foundational part of our product, not a secondary feature. It is embedded directly into the communication flow to shape, summarize, and surface what matters; it's not just automation layered onto broken tools. We will build more ways to interact and work with AI. We are just getting started.
Adding intelligence to a channel doesn't change the fact that it is still a channel and likely very noisy. Legacy tools often summarize chaos. Slashwork operates differently, allowing the information to be consumed in a way that follows your rhythm and doesn't treat all notifications and messages the same way.
Not yet, but it's coming soon. We will soon have full import from Microsoft Teams. We hope to support full Microsoft Teams interoperability. If that's something that is important to you, please let us know.
Slashwork is currently looking for design partners. If you are a fast-moving, tech-first organization, and want to try a new way of communicating with your company, join our waitlist to experience an alternative to Slack and Teams.
We can get a company set up in minutes using Google login credentials. There is no training required, but we’d certainly love to show you around so you can get the most out of our Streams, AI features, etc.
