Eric Siu tested using Slack's pop-out chat feature with a second monitor while working with AI agents. Over a 2.5-hour session, he measured a 1.8x speed increase compared to previous work intervals, crediting faster navigation between threads and extra screen space.
So work tool for me, actually, Neil, the way I see it now is Slack has been incredible. And I was talking about this with a friend today. The reason why Slack is so good for AI work is because when your agents work, you have threaded replies for the agents and you can actually every chat, I didn't know you can do this until recently, Neil, you can actually open each chat into a new window. So I got a new monitor over the weekend. I said I got a new Studio Display and now I'm way faster now. I used to have double monitor in college, but now I'm back to double monitor. I'm like, whoa, I'm an idiot for not having double monitor because then I started working with the agent, right? Yeah. And then I worked for like 2.5 hours on Sunday and I was like, hey, how much faster am I compared to like a similar period of work time and compared to like 5 different periods in the last couple weeks? And then it did a calculation. You could see it working, right? It was like, you are 1.8x faster because you're able to, the turns of work, you're able to do way more now.
