Last year I attended a hackathon in Colorado. My team's idea was to take our corporate calendar, a primordial piece of software that would have been outdated in 1999, and integrate it with Slack. By typing plain-English commands like "book an available room for a meeting starting 15 minutes from now" or "find a meeting time with Jason, Laura, and Tom this week," our project would enable my colleagues and I to abstract away the brittle, nonsensical aspects of our calendaring software by using Slack as a sort of ersatz API wrapper on top of it.
