Apps can now display thinking steps to users
Slack introduced three new Block Kit components that enable apps and agents to display their thinking steps and actions directly to users.
Display your apps' and agents' actions with three new Block Kit components:
- The
task_cardblock displays a single task. - The
url sourceelement displays clickable URL references within a task card. - The
planblock displays multiple of those tasks together in a unified view.
How tasks are displayed is set with a new parameter in the text-streaming API methods: task_display_mode. Use this to choose whether your app's tasks appear individually or in a comprehensive plan.
Then update the task cards and plan via the new chunks parameter. The parameter also supports plain markdown.
