What an agent can automate between Slack and GitHub
A support-escalation agent that watches a #urgent channel, drafts a first response using your docs, and pings the on-call engineer if no human replies within 10 minutes.
On the GitHub side, the same agent can also read repo files, commits, and pr diffs and comment on prs and issues, so the two tools stay in sync without a person copying data between them by hand.
