What’s the best slack bot experience? Devin?

Geoffrey Litt@geoffreylitt

Underrated benefit of cloud coding agents: when the whole team can chat directly with the agent, things can move faster. Don't need a human engineer to be a comms bottleneck.

@jxnlco Devin is good but it starts new threads instead of replying and investigating in the existing one - which makes so much noise everywhere

Devin’s Slack integration is solid for team-wide agent chats, but for reference-driven workflows we see teams loving custom Codex + ModelRefs combos. Pull exact model specs, benchmarks & implementation patterns mid-thread to keep the agent accurate & auditable. No more “which model was that again?” moments.

@jxnlco Haven't used Devine but Hermes seems quite capable - I can't read the code but the output looks solid.

@jxnlco The best bot experience is probably the one that makes ownership obvious in the thread.
