AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
token — The chunk of text a model reads and writes in — roughly three-quarters of a word — and the unit AI usage is billed in.
streaming — Sending a model's response token by token as it is generated, so the reader sees text immediately instead of waiting for the whole answer.
Key quotes
“The adapter supports the full Slack agent messaging experience , from agent conversations in the Messages tab to suggested prompts, rotating status messages, token-by-token streamed replies, and native feedback buttons.”
