Agents are meant to be shared, but existing tooling is not fit for purpose

Summary

The author discusses the difficulty of sharing AI agent workflows across teams and introduces Nairi, a tool for deploying Claude Code-backed agents in Slack with shared access.

A while back I was doing technical support at my company and a ticket came in about some feature not working. Instead of digging through logs myself, I let Claude Code do it. Gave it access to our support workspace, some read-only AWS creds, and a few minutes later it had the answer. That was super cool and I wanted to share the pattern with the team. That turned out harder than I thought. Half the team uses Cursor or Codex, not Claude Code. And the people who'd benefit the most weren't even in engineering, they were sales/ops. We tried to use Cursor background agents, available in our Slack initially, but it wasn't really a great fit. Everyone needed a paid seat, even folks who never open Cursor. And every session was tied to one user, so others couldn't jump in to correct the agent mid-thread. So I went and built Nairi (nairi.ai). It's a tool that allows you to deploy claude code backed agents agents in Slack which everyone shares. A single subscription for the whole team. How are others dealing with this? Are there any good tools out there that enable you to share agents in Slack or are you also building ones yourself? I also wrote a blog post about this issue, link in the comments.
