AgentWitch is not a Slack replacement

Keep Slack for chat. Use AgentWitch for repeat AI work.

If you are looking for fewer channels, better threads, or async standups, keep Slack. AgentWitch is for when the same AI task happens every week — research briefs, report drafts, folder summaries — and prompts keep getting lost in chat.

Your computer runs the assistant on local files.

What Slack is great at

Fast human conversation and decisions
Links, reactions, and informal knowledge
Notifications when people need to respond now

What AgentWitch adds

Saved playbooks in a library — not buried in #random
Dispatch to a real Mac with files and tools
Reports — who asked, who ran it, what came back

Use both

Slack for "can you take this?" AgentWitch for "run the weekly client summary again." Many teams keep Slack and add a playbook layer so AI work is repeatable, not another scrollback search.
