Blink - Deep code research, straight from Slack or your browser

Blink is your AI coding partner for Slack, and soon, your browser. Investigate repos, draft pull requests, run tests in ephemeral environments, and chat through complex codebases. Join the waitlist to be first to try Blink’s new in-browser experience.

We built Blink because we were tired of agents that felt like chores...tools you had to adapt to instead of ones you’d actually want to work alongside for 10+ hours a day.

Many of us greet Blink with a friendly GM in #chat-with-blink each morning, as if we were passing a peer in the virtual hallway (really).

Blink’s different. It understands your code, respects your time, but isn’t above roasting a teammate’s cursed PR. We believe agents should feel like something you want to coexist with, not something you’re stuck with.

Launching soon!

Congrats looks very useful can't wait to try it! Could I ask in Slack “why did tests start failing after PR #123?” and get code pointers with diffs?

@anwarlaksir absolutely, Blink hooks into GitHub nicely, so I often find that Blink is proactive about solving things like lint errors before I even notice they failed.

Ngl, having an agent that just gets your code and actually fits into Slack is genius—no more tool overload, just straight-up help where you already live. Realy love this!

Congrats on the launch! It's fantastic to see an agent that truly understands the context of the conversation.

How do you plan to expand the functionality of the browser extension, and will we see improved support for multiple repos and users within a team?

@mrrabbar thank you! Blink for Slack is a great starting point for research and even light code gen. Blink in the browser is where deep, long running work happens. It features a much richer dev tool set than what is possible in Slack.

Yep! You can traverse multiple repos, even in the same chat. It’s super helpful when comparing patterns and researching how different repos approach a problem.
