@courtney_may_aspegren Yeah, the average knowledge worker switches to a different SaaS app once a minute. It's crazy.

@courtney_may_aspegren The tool switching fatigue is so real, this feels like a breath of fresh air. Not being punished for having information I need to keep handy/organized for once is such a nice concept
As a solo founder, I am psyched about being able to hang out with all my agents in the same place where I try to manage my notifications. Excited to see where Den goes!
As a knowledge worker juggling multiple projects and information sources, Den has become my digital command center. Been testing it since launch, and it's like having a smart assistant that actually understands context. The fact that Y Combinator uses it speaks volumes about its capabilities.
The "cursor for knowledge workers" description clicked for me yesterday when I was researching a complex market analysis. Instead of jumping between dozens of tabs and documents, Den helped me navigate through information like a cursor through code - precise, contextual, and intelligent. Found insights in minutes that would have taken hours to piece together manually.
What really sets it apart is how it learns your work patterns. This morning, it anticipated the resources I needed for a strategy meeting based on my calendar event and previous similar meetings. The AI doesn't just find information - it understands how you use it and adapts accordingly.
@xi_z Wow, seems like you really tried all the Den features. Thanks for your support Xi :)

@xi_z No but I desperately needed this in my life. I consider myself organized, but until now that meant tons of slack channels, canvases, different places to store information. Sure it was tidy but that was so impractical for daily use, I'm so hyped that there's something that does all this now! Hard agree that YC using is is a huge win, incredibly impressive.
@marco_dewey thanks Marco! We think that augmenting the work that humans are doing, rather than replacing it is the best way for AI agents to collaborate with humans.
@pupposandro thanks so much Alessandro! We can't wait to incorporate some sort of computer-use into Den, and would be really keen to make Cua our default solution ;)
Over the years Slack has gotten bloated with more and more half-baked features. Good to see a clean, sleek alternative with a powerful new AI-first paradigm!

@Den saved my life. I can barely recall the world before Den
Actually, though, just try it. Try it. You'll like it
Den
@kylerblue thanks Kyler! It's been really amazing having you and wavedash onboard! Looking forward to making it even better for you :)
Den
@kylerblue Life pre-Den, couldn't wish for anything worse. Seriously cannot WAIT for the @Wavedash launch.
This is exactly what Slack would look like if they launched today. Amazing product @justin_lee27 @linus_talacko1 🔥
Den
@justin_lee27 @yonasbe we agree! thanks so much Yonas, we have loved having you as an early user.
Den
@linus_talacko1 @yonasbe that's literally exactly what we were going for - without being too derivative of course
Can't wait for slack to end! Den's taking care of our entire ops department
Den
@sam_lamba this is great to hear Sam! It's been great having you onboard!
Den
@sam_lamba The ENTIRE ops department?
@sam_lamba @justin_lee27 The ENTIRE ops department!! (apparently)
yep feels like we hired an ops team that lives in Slack
no literally, it's so frictionless. basically the most responsive ops department you could dream of, zero onboarding necessary.
I really like Den and think it's so needed. It makes everything feel connected and helps fatigue from tool switching go away for GTM folks like me!

@courtney_may_aspegren thanks so much Courtney, it has been really great to have you onboard!

Den
@nworbrecneps We do it for the solo founders! When you say "manage your notifications", what do you mean?
Den
@nworbrecneps thanks so much Spencer! Den is actually most heavily used by solo founders, so you would be in great company!

this makes the canvas in slack feel so archaic
Den
@danielterrero thanks so much Daniel! We are hoping to make our documents that most simple and most aesthetic that anyone can use.
Den
@danielterrero Archaic is definitely the right word - I've been trying to put my finger on why, do you have any ideas?
@danielterrero No literally, that's exactly the right word?? Den just hits different lmao

I love that you want to bring AI to as many people on earth as possible with the goal of helping them instead of replacing them.
Den
@marco_dewey thanks Marco! We think that augmenting the work that humans are doing, rather than replacing it is the best way for AI agents to collaborate with humans.
Den
@marco_dewey an ambitious but worthy goal. Thanks Marco :)
Cua
This product is great - congrats guys. once you guys add also computer-use in the mix, it will become a must-have for every company/employee!
Den
@pupposandro Could we chat about this? The final unlock for so many of the agents is computer-use, and we'd love to use Cua :)
Den
@pupposandro thanks so much Alessandro! We can't wait to incorporate some sort of computer-use into Den, and would be really keen to make Cua our default solution ;)

@mdebernardi1 we couldn't agree more! Thanks for the support Marcello :)

@mdebernardi1 Sad but true! We're just trying to rebuild from first principles.
