A channel is created from an existing conversation, context is carried forward, and agents and collaborators have a shared, visible place to work. Within a session, agents can publish artifacts for people to oversee and iterate on: Code diffs, so people can review what changed Block Kit views, for structured interactive experiences HTML previews, for prototypes and generated interfaces Canvases, for longer-form content and collaboration The work becomes multiplayer: teammates can join channels, review work, add context, and help make decisions, all while collaborating in the same session and with the same artifacts.
