Definitely a problem that everyone needs to solve.
I wonder if you can achieve this workflow by just using prompt and the new Model Context Protocol connected to email / slack.

If you want to tell a model to send a message to slack, sure, give it a slack tool and let it go wild. do you see a way how MCP applies for outer-loop or "headless" agents in a way that's any different from another tool-calling agent like langchain or crewai? IT seems like just another protocol for tool calling over the stdio wire (WHICH, TO BE CLEAR, I FIND SUPER DOPE)
Yeah it still takes a bit of work, but it's more extendable (can swap slack to email) and more versatile (human can message agent to interrupt or ask for clarification).
I haven't used langchain (beyond RAG) or crewai, not sure what was capable before.
