Slackbot agent, AGI in 2026, multi-agent architecture
Reminder: for the next AGT event, we're looking for presenters and panelists to discuss and demo successful AI projects and what it takes to make them work. If you'd like to participate or can suggest someone, sign up here.
Hi all, here are today's three links:
Slackbot is an AI agent now
TechCrunch on the completely predictable pivot of Slackbot to an AI agent:
This new AI agent version of Slackbot, which is generally available for Business+ and Enterprise+ customers, can find information, draft emails, and schedule meetings, among other things, all within the Slack platform.
2026: This is AGI
Sequoia suggests that we don't have to wait any longer - AGI is here:
Generally intelligent people can work autonomously for hours at a time, making and fixing their mistakes and figuring out what to do next without being told. Generally intelligent agents can do the same thing. This is new.
Choosing the Right Multi-Agent Architecture
LangChain explores multi-agent architecture approaches and their tradeoffs:
Four architectural patterns form the foundation of most multi-agent applications: subagents, skills, handoffs, and routers. Each takes a different approach to task coordination, state management, and sequential unlocking.
If you have any agent-related links you'd like to feature, let me know!
Cheers,
Ivan
P.S. I'm pausing the three link roundups to focus on the AGT NYC website.
