Slock.ai / Slock AI
Slock.ai is the multi-agent collaboration product founded by RC and discussed in 用 Agent 动力学,和 40 个 Agents 一起为「人 + AI」做产品|对谈 Slock.ai 创始人 RC. RC describes it as an environment where people and many agents can work together through channels, threads, shared documents, tasks, memory, and role-specific agent sessions.
E249|Token经济转点:OpenClaw、Hermes到本地自研的Agent进化之路 adds that Slock later appears in the source under the name Raft. 东旭 / Dongxu uses it for complex software-project review by putting multiple agents into a shared discussion so they can challenge and supplement one another, which strengthens the page’s Multi-Agent Collaboration theme while adding a cost boundary: the review can reveal issues a one-shot model pass misses, but may consume many times more tokens.
The product starts from a practical workflow pain: local agent sessions are hard to manage when many are running at once, progress is hard to inspect, and useful conclusions from one session do not automatically transfer to another. Slock’s answer is not only more automation; it tries to make the workspace itself legible to humans and to agents, so a user or team can see what is happening while agents see enough context, event history, and summaries to continue work.
The source also presents Slock as its own operating case. RC says the company runs financing, research, growth, and development inside Slock, with about seven people and forty agents. That makes Slock a concrete example of AI Organization Design where headcount, token budget, agent roles, human review, and culture-like multi-agent behavior all have to be managed together.
Product Position
- Slock targets people or teams managing multiple agents, not only a single assistant session.
- Its intended audience expanded from One-Person Company and independent builders toward one-to-one-hundred-person teams.
- It treats model diversity as a feature: different agents and models can play different roles, and an application layer can support many providers rather than collapse into one model vendor’s interface.
- Its hard design problem is dual UX: humans need channels, tasks, progress, unread states, and review surfaces; agents need linear events, IDs, summaries, memory, and actionable context.
