Problem
When the agent produces a long response in Slack, the message appears all at once — typically dumping ~50 lines of text in a single update. There is no progressive / streaming display, which makes the experience feel jarring and unresponsive compared to how most modern AI chat interfaces work.
Expected Behavior
Long responses should stream incrementally — either by updating the message in small chunks as content is generated, or by appending text progressively — so the user gets a smooth, real-time sense of the agent "thinking" and writing.
Current Behavior
The full response appears in one abrupt jump. No intermediate updates are shown while the agent is generating content.
Why It Matters
- It looks like the bot is frozen, then suddenly floods the channel
- Hard to follow for long outputs (code blocks, step-by-step instructions, etc.)
- Feels significantly less polished compared to the Discord experience
Possible Approaches
- Use Slack's API to progressively edit the message as chunks arrive
- Show a typing indicator / placeholder while streaming, then replace with final content
- Batch updates at a reasonable cadence (e.g. every 500ms) to avoid Slack rate limits
