Do we need an AI-native slack?

We launched PromptQL on X/Twitter 2 weeks back and went viral as the first AI version of slack; and we just went live on Product Hunt! Yesterday Jack Dorsey announced his version, Buzz. And as someone following the space - I see a lot of people having strong opinions about this.
So what's yours? Is slack working for you as you do more and more of your work with AI? Where does it break? Do we even need a new era of collaboration tools?

Announcing NeuralOS - Intelligence Stops Being an App You Open and Close, It becomes the OS itself

When we started NeuralAgent back in April 2025 it was one of the first agents in the world that uses a user's personal computer, not a computer on the cloud, thats what made it to spread to 180 countries and tens of thousands of users in a short amount of time.
Today, I am excited to announce that we are experimenting with something new, something called NeuralOS, it's the next evolution of the Neural experience.
With NeuralOS, intelligence stops being an app you open and close and it becomes the OS itself, it becomes the computer itself, it's always on and always ready. Imagine for example you are now on the gmail interface, and you say 'Hey Neural, send a reply to John here', and it just understands, it just knows and in milliseconds types the reply, asks for your approval and then sends it. Or if you are on an interface and there was an error and you say "Hey Neural, fix this" and it just knows! It just works across any app, any screen, any interface, you call it via a keyboard shortcut or voice and ask it to do something, and it does it in milliseconds.
Now that we have the Neural fast model, I feel now is the time for this experiment.
Stay tuned for NeuralOS! It will be an OS layer that's always on that can run on Windows and macOS and soon Linux as well!
As always, we would love to hear your feedback!
Check out the NeuralOS demo video here:

Which email flow do you know you should be sending, and aren't?

Genuine question. I keep meeting operators with a warm list, a good offer, and no abandoned-cart flow. Or a welcome series that's one email long and just stops.

If that's you which one is it, and what's actually stopping you? The time, the build, or not knowing what email 3 is supposed to say?

Asking because I've been building for exactly this.
