Whoa, this is fascinating!
Can't wait to explore the site more and experiment with it. The cross-linking to the channels and tasks are a great feature. The MCP server is really impressive. In general, this shows AI making a lot more sense for companies to integrate than the way it's currently being (under)utilized. Excited to see this grow.
Thanks! It's the product of several things for me - one, I hate that everything wants to have its own "Co-pilot" chat interface and am afraid that easy win will turn into a standard. The ideal thing about agents is that they can have responsibilities and you don't have to instruct them constantly. The number of times that I've wanted to ask Gemini to summarize this email for me is closer to zero than 100.
So I like MCP for this - agents can have their responsibilities, receive events, take action; if you need to chat with one, you can do that in the same interface you'd chat with a colleague.
And the other is that I hate how "voice/video chat" is still "another app". If we're both looking at the same Kanban board, we should just be able to talk without a bunch of negotiation. We're here, online, together in this project, on this app, so why can't we just talk? Give me an icon that lets me talk to anybody that's "in the room" so to speak. It should all be like that, so... it's headed that direction.
You know... As it turns out, that's a different piece of software! (I was super confused at the comment and had to google it.)
My company, and long before that just the website I used to host different projects on, is "BigBlueCeiling" so I tend to default to "BigBlue_________" for project names or offshoots now.
I'm a huge fan of FOSS in general though. And if BigBlueBam found life inside of education I wouldn't hate it.

Huge fan of BigBlueButton! It’s been cool to watch the project go through multiple big tech changes and still keep going.
Never give up! Free/Open Source software especially in schools is so important
