Channels SDK: Building a Production-Ready Agent for Slack, Live

​Building a Production-Ready Agent for Slack

​Join a live build session.

​CopilotKit engineer and architect Mike Ryan builds a Slack agent end to end with the Channels SDK, following the full production path: a deployed agent backend, connected through CopilotRuntime, operated by CopilotKit Intelligence, running natively in a Slack workspace. Start to finish, no slides.

​What we build:

• ​Connect the agent. Wire a LangGraph, CrewAI, Microsoft Agent Framework, or custom AG-UI agent in through CopilotRuntime

• ​Define the experience. Write Channels JSX once, render native Block Kit in Slack

• ​Stream and act in context. Tool calls and streamed responses land back in the thread the work started in

• ​Make approvals native. Human-in-the-loop decisions route through Block Kit, not a separate dashboard

• ​Take it to production. Provider connectivity, delivery and retries, and the durable channel state that keeps threads continuous

​Bring your questions. We take them live throughout the build, including the ones about auth, edge cases, and what breaks at scale.
