What happened?

Meta is transitioning its internal communications from Google Chat to Slack, according to a memo sent this week by the company’s AI chief, Alexandr Wang.

Why it matters

The social media giant is making the switch primarily because it views Slack as a superior platform for hosting and managing AI agents—autonomous software programs designed to perform specific tasks.

Detailed explanation

The move marks a significant victory for Slack’s parent company, Salesforce, which has invested heavily in artificial intelligence features since acquiring the platform for $27.7 billion in 2021.

In the internal memo, Wang cited Slack’s mature developer tools and "3P integrations"—connections to external software tools—as decisive factors in the migration.

This adoption by a major tech leader provides a boost to Salesforce as it attempts to prove that AI agents will enhance, rather than replace, traditional enterprise software.

While the transition is driven by technical needs for automation, all Meta employees are expected to move to the new system to benefit from the growing ecosystem of internal bots.

These agents are used within the company to automate routine tasks, retrieve data, and deliver team updates through Slack’s conversational interface.

While Meta and Salesforce declined to comment on the shift, the migration is already underway following the internal announcement.
