Hi Team & Community!
Background
The recent introduction of Background Agents in Slack (v1.1) represents a significant advancement in AI-assisted development workflows. The ability to launch agents directly from Slack via @Cursor mentions, with full thread context understanding and GitHub PR creation capabilities, demonstrates excellent integration potential.
Problem Statement
While Slack integration addresses many use cases, numerous enterprise development teams operate on alternative communication platforms as their primary collaboration tools. This limitation restricts the accessibility and adoption of Background Agents across diverse organizational environments.
Proposed Solution
Request for Background Agents integration support for the following enterprise-grade communication platforms:
Cisco Webex
- Widely deployed in large corporations and government sectors
- High level of enterprise security and data management capabilities
- Established presence in regulated industries
Zoom Workplace
- Zoom is the de facto standard platform for corporate meetings
- Popular among distributed development teams
Business Justification
Expanding Background Agents support to these platforms would:
- Increase addressable market reach across enterprise segments
- Reduce adoption friction for organizations standardized on non-Slack platforms
- Enhance competitive positioning in enterprise AI development tools market
- Provide consistent user experience across diverse organizational tech stacks
Request for Roadmap Visibility
Is expansion to additional enterprise communication platforms part of the current product roadmap? Any timeline estimates or prioritization insights would be valuable for enterprise planning and adoption decisions.
Thank you for consideration of this feature request.
