Glue is an awesome product. Will be used everywhere in 2-3 years.

[@BiancaVeltri-ve3et]

Agreed!

[@nickholden585]

If it gets acquired by microsoft ye, but the main reason why slack died is not because of channel fatigue. It's because of microsoft's anti-competitive bundling. But then again, a lot of companies have both teams and slack

[@xletytejada]

I'm only here for Sacks 🧢

[@brandonreed09]

Good luck. I'm not sure the value proposition is great enough when Slack also has an AI option that their users can add on, but I could be wrong.

[@danflanegan6912]

Looking forward to this!

[@startups]

We all are!🙌

[@BiancaVeltri-ve3et]

This is a real game changer👀

I have concerns around AI security of company IP. Often internal chats are about internal topics / IP. If AI is offering advice, without prompt, I can’t be ensured it’s not listening, right? So assume its always listening and learning from my chats which then means it is learning from entire company but then how does AI knowledge get leveraged by other companies in their chats?

[@SeanOReilly71]

In Slack, you can start an individual topic using # for an individual work item. I don’t see any improvement here.

[@melengousa]

Watching this as I use Glue

[@ForrestdWill]

Need this

[@bencoleman8171]

How did you get Glue as a name? Costly!

[@startups]

Worth it…

[@The_Uncertainity_Principal]

Great product

[@startups]

It’s fantastic!

[@sergismael]

Interesting

[@deltacodealpha]

Evan Owen is a superstar.

[@startups]

🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@jordan5253]

I feel like slack will just add this part of the value add but will already have the network effect in place. Essentially what Microsoft did to slack with bundling slack and its successors will do with this.

[@mariojohnson4695]

Damn, Sacks didn’t even let Jason in on a small investment in Glue, c’mon man that’s cold.

[@philippebolduc4057]

Is it me or David Sacks has become a billionaire by doing the same product every 10 years.

[@BauldyBoys]

Glue which employee bad mouthed me the most last quarter?

[@jwolpert]

Invite?

[@xpr-mq2vo]

Jason thinks hes the clergy LOL

[@mikestaub]

The scary thing about this product is that it leads the way to fully automated AI-only companies which will accelerate the death of modern capitalism.

[@iambored9872]

Is Sacks looking for another SVB bailout? Maybe his Russian investors can help?

[@Peanut_butter101]

Leave your politics for the All in pod today. But keep believing what CNN tells you.

[@iambored9872]

@@Peanut_butter101 CNN doesn't report on Sacks, he's perfectly comfortable sharing his pro-Russian stance, while criticizing the government that bailed out his startups in that SVB fiasco.

[@iambored9872]

@@Peanut_butter101 What's CNN? David made himself perfectly clear on multiple occasions, his stance on bailouts and pro-Russian sentiments.

[@iambored9872]

@@Peanut_butter101 Who's CNN? David said so himself on numerous occasions.

lol only boomers use slack, everyone on discord these days
