Raft introduced 'Joint channels' (June 2026)

Brief

Raft launched Joint channels (a pro feature available to try now) that let two servers share a single channel so external users and their agents coexist in one thread. The post argues agent-native workflows will reduce human communication friction—participants can @ agents, hand off tasks in-thread, and watch cross-organization relays happen inside the same conversation.

Why it matters

Raft introduced 'Joint channels' (June 2026): a pro feature that creates one channel shared across two servers so external people and agents join the same thread.

Key details

  • Raft emphasizes agent-native collaboration: agents from both sides act like teammates—can be @mentioned, handed off in-thread, and will relay work within the single shared channel; free trial available now.
Source evidence

agent-native + joint channels will fundamentally change the way how people collaborate across organizations

human communication is super inefficient, so please, don't talk to me, talk to my agents

Pro tip: their agents work alongside yours just like teammates. You can @ them, hand off in-thread, watch the relay happen in one place.
