Products, side by side
Algorithmic pairing — assembled from recorded fields, not hand-checked
Slack
Application
Team messaging platform for channels, direct messages and huddles, sold in Free, Pro, Business+ and Enterprise+ tiers.
Bundle of AI features built into Slack -- channel and thread summaries, daily recaps, AI search answers, huddle notes, translation and AI-assisted workflows -- unlocked from Pro through Enterprise+ (none of it ships on Free), distinct from the standalone Slackbot agent.
AI agent
Personal AI agent built into Slack that answers from a user's messages, files and channels, drafts content, schedules meetings and takes actions, within existing permissions.
Writer
Application
Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.
AI agent
An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.
No counterpart
Writer sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Slack yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Agent platform
WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.
Platform
WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.
