The current state of work looks very different than it did 20 years ago, and similarly, the future of work will look very different than it does today. 

20 years ago, in-office work was the norm for many companies. Today, technology has enabled a shift towards hybrid or fully remote cultures, offering employees greater flexibility. However, this comes with challenges. The communication overhead can be burdensome, and the proliferation of various SaaS tools has led to an increase in context switching, both of which can hinder productivity and collaboration.

In the future, many companies expect their workforces to be augmented with AI agents as virtual coworkers. However, crafting effective and durable agents presents a significant challenge today. To ensure their utility, these agents must seamlessly integrate with various third-party applications to execute complex tasks.

Introducing Zest

In order to manifest this vision, we are thrilled to introduce our latest product - Zest, a no-code platform to launch AI agents as virtual team mates in Slack. Zest connects to all your 3rd party apps, including Linear, Notion, Hubspot, Google Workspace, and more. As a result, agents built on Zest are Slack-native, understand your business, and can complete end-to-end tasks across multiple tools.

Key Features

Any employee can create their own AI agent on Zest; it is built to help your team with everyday tasks, freeing you up to focus on what matters most. Think of it as an extra pair of hands that can help you with things like:

  • Searching in Slack

  • Summarizing Conversations

  • Creating drafts of documents from conversations

  • Converting docs into tickets on Linear

How to get started?

To get started, it’s as simple as 3 steps:

  1. Connect Zest to your Slack Workspace

  2. Create your AI agents and connect your favorite 3rd party tools

  3. Configure and customize your AI agents (optional)
