# Slack + Ambience

> Use Slack decisions as governed shared memory.

Slack is where decisions often disappear. If a user has an approved agent that can access a Slack thread, they can ask it to save the durable decision to Ambience. Ambience stores the redacted memory and source metadata, not blanket workspace access.

## Why Ambience

- Ambience preserves the decision, not the whole conversation.
- The resulting memory has type, scope, source, and audit.
- Future agents can find the decision without searching Slack history.

## Example memories

- Decision: Pause onboarding sweeps until the user chooses included apps. Source: Slack thread.
- Convention: Escalated support handoffs must name owner and next action. Source: Slack channel.
