I keep seeing a lot of this since we launched Alpine
"Nothing has replaced Workplace"
Not Slack, not Notion, and definitely not Teams
The gap is still wide open
Alpine retweeted
Alpine brings docs, tasks, chat, and AI together in one workspace. No more switching between apps—everything you need is in a single, unified interface. The AI helps personalize your feed, improve search, and act as a knowledgeable

This Workplace alternative is looking great
Introducing Alpine
The first ever AI-native workspace. Your docs, tasks, and chat finally in one app

ok I figured out the bull case for Alpine
(if you're ex-fb, you're already sold on workplace, this isn't so much for you)
in a world where you're automating (most of) the "machine" that runs your business
then your writing culture suddenly becomes the most important thing to care about, where the "work" actually happens
and email and chat are 2 extremes that don't work very well for it
Alpine's in the middle, the new home for work.

Your task manager shouldn't need a manual
Here's Alpine: type like you're writing notes, hit enter for new tasks, and tab for subtasks
Just write what you need to do and get back to work

This entire thread is our product roadmap from 2 years ago @alpine4work
In Alpine:
- Select text → Copy → Get exactly what you selected
- Messages send optimistically
- @ mentions are sorted by who you actually message, not random people
- <400ms p99 average load time
Thanks @tobi, huge +1. If anyone from Slack is reading:
◾︎ Please make message writes optimistic. Once the user presses enter, commit them to the UI immediately in a pending state. I notice this more often on mobile. It's so bad it can lead to repeated messages, please use idempotency keys as well.
◾︎ Please make @ completion smarter. I talk to someone named Josh 200 times a day. Many times when I start typing "Jos", to invite to a channel or talk to, it recommends randos I've never talked to from shared channels 🤨
◾︎ Please make it harder to add random people by accident to private channels. Require extra confirmation for instance. You're one @ mention and accidental tap away from sharing all message history with an unintended recipient.
◾︎ Please allow editing images of old messages. Pasting an image while editing a message creates a new message. 1) What
◾︎ Please massively improve performance, especially on mobile. Resist the urge to add more features before you massively improve performance of the 'basic human rights' aspect of the app (i.e.: sending and receiving messages reliably.)
cc @matheusfrndes who can probably expand… we discuss these papercuts weekly

Quit big tech to build the future of work
After 3 years of building, we finally launch soon

This changes everything about how conversations flow in work communication apps.
Simply select the exact text you want to respond to.
No need to ever have to quote an entire paragraph to respond to one sentence again.

Internal mindset shift happening at Alpine:
We stopped talking about other tools entirely. The more time we spend using @alpine4work internally, the more we realize that we’re not just replacing other workspace products.
We have built something truly new, and I can’t wait for you all to try it out.
Alpine retweeted
every productivity app promises to save you time
but then you spend that time managing the productivity app
make it make sense

We're building a FYP for your work
TikTok's algorithm knows what you want to watch
What if your workspace knew what you needed to see?

The AI-native productivity suite will look a lot more like Slack than you imagine
Think about it this way: Have we discovered the ideal interface for human digital communication? No, but Slack is pretty darn close
LLMs are fundamentally…us! They were trained on our words, refined by our feedback. What building for LLMs has taught me is you get better performance when you treat the LLM…as a person.
The ideal interface for humans to communicate will therefore also be the ideal interface for AI
1. Agents need to meet the humans who command them in the space the human is most comfortable
2. LLMs are trained to mimic us! Where we are most comfortable reflects onto them
Text and voice. That’s how humans communicate
The internet text box is undefeated for human digital communication. It’s not going away but it’ll be supplemented by voice in some contexts. Voice/video calls are the undisputed form factor for audio modality so expect more of that too
We’re building something here we think you’ll really like. Watch this space
Alpine retweeted
we’re working on it
our main thesis: our current “productivity” tools ask you to do too much boring undifferentiated organization work
constantly sorting things into folders, rearranging things in sidebars
computers are really good at sorting stuff and getting wildly better by the week
the computer should do more work, so you the human can do the creative bits that excite you and the customers you serve

slack violates a fundamental principle of design: fitt's law
the amount of time it takes your eye to move from one bit of the screen to another is based on how far apart they are
the time i wasted reorienting after opening a thread, sheesh
glad i’m not using slack anymore
