You have to check the announcement fineprint. As long as they advertise it as proactive it needs to keep up to date with all the ongoing discussions. And I believe that means all group messages. Wouldn't that make sense?

And the additional "ambient" mode also seems to imply that it will work by itself in background tasks to check (I assume) in some scheduled fashion what stale topics it needs to reengage.
- beaugunderson 4mo agoi have a claude-agent-sdk slack bot i built for work; it offers proactive interaction as well but it uses a deterministic filter and then a haiku pass for messages that pass the filter... negligible token cost.
- mogili 3mo agoIt means it'll use tool calls to search slack and get context not that it's some sort of ambient always running loop.
- mogili 3mo agoThey do have an ambient mode you can enable.
