Introducing Glue: Work Chat for the AI Era
May 14 2024 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Glue today launched the first AI-native work chat platform. Glue
takes the best of both worlds from AI chat platforms like ChatGPT
and human chat platforms like Slack. The result is a new tool built
for the way people want to collaborate today with both their
colleagues and their AI assistants.

“Every time there’s a major paradigm shift, a new communication
tool emerges. In the era of AI, Glue is that tool,” said co-founder
David Sacks.
AI Has Entered the Chat
ChatGPT has proven that AI works best in a threaded chat format,
but it’s single-player and separate from the rest of your work,
making it difficult to collaborate as a team. Glue allows users to
start a chat with AI and then invite coworkers to it, or add AI to
an existing team chat. The AI functions like a virtual team member,
with all of the context from previous messages, attachments, and
app integrations.
Teams can choose their preferred LLM model or let Glue pick the
best model for each query. Glue AI is model-agnostic and currently
supports OpenAI’s GPT and Anthropic’s Claude 3, with more coming
soon. Integrations with Github, Google Meet, Linear, Typeform,
Zapier, and Zoom are available now, with ClickUp, Google Drive,
Notion, Sentry, and others shipping soon.
Breaking Free from Channel Fatigue
Unlike Slack, the atomic unit of conversation in Glue is a
thread rather than a channel. Glue threads can be shared with
multiple people or groups – and others can be added later as needed
– so threads don’t get stuck in a channel. This subtle but
fundamental change means less noise because users don’t need to
join every channel to get the information they need. Like threads
in ChatGPT, Glue threads are topic-focused and have AI-generated
subject lines for easy referencing.
“Even before the launch of LLMs, there was a growing consensus
that channels don't scale with growing teams. With Glue, we’ve set
threads free from the shackles of channels and created the most
natural way for AI to work alongside us as a teammate. The result
is focused, precise, and productive conversations,” said co-founder
Evan Owen.
Evan and David both have a strong connection to this space,
having previously built Yammer (acquired by Microsoft) and Zinc
(acquired by ServiceMax). They came together to collaborate on Glue
when they realized they had similar views about how to reinvent
work chat.
“Glue is our answer to channel fatigue and the new home for AI
at work,” continued Sacks. “We hope you’ll give it a try and join
the waitlist at Glue.ai.”
About Glue:

designed to let your team collaborate alongside AI in focused,
productive conversations. Glue was co-founded by David Sacks, who
