From AI Assistants to AI Employees: Lindy Launches Slack-Native Agents

The author argues that while many current AI SaaS products are still "passive observers" (e.g., recording meetings, scoring calls), the next generation of AI will transition into "active doers" that execute tasks directly within team communication channels like Slack.
Using Lindy Teammate as an example, the product acts as an "AI employee" rather than an add-on. Team members can assign tasks to it in Slack, and it continuously learns to become the self-updating brain of the business. The author tested it and found it quickly analyzed tool spend against invoices, flagging anomalies and drastically improving efficiency.
