Ask HN: AI agents in Slack can write but can't remember. Anyone else?

We're an AI startup running multi-agent teams in Slack. Our agents review code, discuss architecture, and ship features, all in Slack channels.

The irony: Slack AI already vectorizes all messages for semantic search internally. But there's no developer API to query it.

So we built our own pipeline: pull messages, embed externally, store in pgvector, sync continuously. Rebuilding what Slack already has from scratch.

We're reaching out to Slack leadership to request a simple semantic.search API endpoint. One endpoint that would make Slack the memory layer for every AI agent team.

Would love to hear from others hitting this wall. Is anyone else building AI agents on Slack and dealing with the same limitation?
