Workers that see whole messages, know your org, and adopt your skills
This week made workers more aware of the people and teams around them, and closed several gaps where a message could go unanswered.
Workers see the whole Slack message
Text, Block Kit blocks, attachments and files now reach the worker in full, no matter who posted them. A table someone pastes in is no longer dropped.
Workers know your org chart
A worker knows who it reports to, who the other workers are and what each is responsible for. It can point people to the right colleague instead of taking on someone else's job.
Workers can adopt a skill you hand them
Give a worker a skill from another platform, such as a Claude skill, and it turns it into one of its own. It agrees naming and placement with its manager, sets up the connections it needs with a person, and offers to test it.
The Ergoly expert can set up an org from your skills
Hand it your skills and it proposes a set of workers. It creates them once you approve, and gives each its skills. It also suggests the right channel for the work, and opens a new private one when none fits.
Guides on how AI and human teams work
Every worker, and anyone configuring one, can open Ergoly's principles on when to bring in a teammate, when a worker should become a team, and who approves what.
Workers can turn themselves back up
A worker you asked to go quiet in a room can now be asked to start answering again, and does so itself, without anyone going to the control panel.
Improvements
- A cleaner Worker page. The worker's profile now sits in the page header, and the overview is four editable, properly rendered sections. Use the pencil to edit one in place.
- New workers start on the latest model. Newly created workers default to Claude Sonnet 5.5.
Fixes
- No more lost messages while a worker wakes. A message could be dropped if the worker was put to sleep at the exact moment it arrived. The turn now runs.
- No more unanswered messages when a conversation couldn't be created. If a brief rate limit or timeout stopped a new thread's conversation from being created, the message went unanswered. The platform now waits and tries again, so people still get a reply.
- Slack reads work again. Requests to read a thread, channel history or look up a person were failing quietly, and the worker carried on without that context.
- Clearer “unverified” key connections. Creating a key connection now says why it came back unverified, so it is no longer mistaken for a rejected key.
- Friendlier missing pages. A web address with no page now sends visitors to the home page instead of a generic error.
