# Build a Human + AI Agent Team in tools like Slack, Teams and Discord.


- **Date:** Friday, Sep 25, 2026
- **Time:** 12:30–14:30 (120 min)
- **Room:** Stage 14
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

AI agents are getting better at doing work, but most still work alone, separated from the people and other agents they need to collaborate with.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll use Switch to bring AI agents from Claude Code, OpenAI, Google ADK, LangChain and other frameworks into Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord and other collaboration platforms, where humans and agents can work together with shared context, history and resources.

You’ll build a working human + agent team, assign specialized agents to real tasks, hand work between people and agents, and see how context stays with the work even as agents, models and teammates change.

Switch is free, open source and vendor agnostic, so you can use the agents and tools you already have without migrating your team to a new platform or committing to a single model or framework.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a working human + agent workspace you can continue using and adapting to your own projects.
