Got clients or other team members still stuck on Slack? No worries. You can sync Cushion posts with Slack messages, so every reply on Slack comes to Cushion (and vice versa). External Slack users have a little marker so you know if the user is on Cushion or not. Now you don't need to worry about missing that feedback from the suits upstairs who just don't get the whole async thing. Also handy if you have customers in Slack connect or just want to try out Cushion for a new project. Enjoy ✌️

Keeping track of conversations in most chat apps is a nightmare. You're either bouncing between tons of channels or having to scroll through a giant list of threads to find that one reply you need. The new Inbox makes it super easy to keep on top of what matters the most.

Remote work forces a written culture. A written culture means the AI can engage with your culture and act on it.

@can In 2026 if you don’t write things down, constantly, then the AI doesn’t know about it putting you at a structural disadvantage

All large companies are remote companies. People on the 1st floor don't know people on the 3rd floor. If you're in office but work via slack, GitHub, gmeet, docs - you're not working in person. After 10+ people, you are a remote company. Benefits of accepting reality: 1) When focus is on OKRs, people can't fake work. 2) Access to more talent and less competition. 3) People don't have 8 straight hours of creative output. Remote lets you get all bursts. 4) Much lower cost structure (fiber, HVAC, security, office staples, rent) 5) It's more difficult to retain people in NY or SF. 6) If done correctly, you have someone watching the castle 24/7. 7) You can start fixing problems as soon as they arise. 8) The system forces you to document everything. 9) You get a more objective hiring process. 10) At 1,000 employees, you save 500,000hs/yr otherwise spent in a tube. 11) You can choose when you meet. 12) Remote is a natural filter for high-agency people, if you can spot them.

It’s a pillow. It’s a pause. It’s where ideas land. It softens the edges. Catches the fall. Gives things a moment to rest. It’s not slowing down. It’s making space. Because good ideas don’t crash. They settle.

I don't think people realize how strong Slack's moat is. I've seen a ton of "someone should build an AI-native Slack" responses to this video, but what exactly would that look like? And what would make it 10x better than the current experience? It reminds me of a similar take I've heard for years which is "Someone should build the Linear for Slack". Sure, sounds great, but what exactly would you build that's actually 10x better? Issue tracking is a pretty unique vertical because you have an incumbent with virtually negative NPS and an audience that really cares about user experience. It's not clear to me that people feel the same way about Slack/messaging. They might not love Slack, but they don't hate it. And if the alternative isn't 10x better, there's no way companies are going to switch (once you start using shared Slack channels, the lock-in is super strong).

Sam Altman says Slack has many positives, but it creates endless fake work We need an AI-native productivity suite to replace docs, slides, email, and Slack Not add-on features, but trusted agents that handle work and only escalate when needed This finally feels within reach

@shl Basecamp is the best tool for async communication that I've tried. UI could be better at times, but it is really good at eliminating "pseudo-urgency and stress."

Why: • Slack creates pseudo-urgency and stress • Replaces higher-fidelity real-time communication (meetings, calls) Alternative tools for team coordination: • Email for formal communication • Google Docs for knowledge base (replacing Slack’s poor docs) • GitHub and Figma for deep work • 📞 Goal: less notifications, higher signal communication.
