A lot of people (me included) use Slack/HipChat like a news feed, in which chat is an incidental feature. My servers, databases, CI/CD, bug tracker etc all publish to Slack and then (maybe) a human discussion will form around a particular event.
To disrupt Slack, make an awesome news feed, with chat and publishing API and search. Add an API for reading (like Twitter's API). Make it easily compartmentalised (faceted search maybe?) Then you'll pick up users like me, who used to use email and find group chat better but really need "Hootsuite for infrastructure".
