> Conversation Bridge connects external conversation platforms to Cradle Chat Sessions — work no longer stops at the desktop window.

The desktop window is home base for agent workflows, but it's not the whole story. You're often away from your machine — in a meeting, commuting, away from your desk. Once a session leaves your sight, the work pauses.

Conversation Bridge is our answer. It lets Cradle connect external conversation platforms to Chat Sessions, so work can continue outside the main desktop window.

## The first plugin: Slack

The first Bridge plugin supports Slack. Follow the setup guide in Integration settings, bind a Slack conversation, and keep chatting with Cradle directly from Slack.

Bind, status, unbind, runtime, and model selection controls are all integrated into the Slack flow — no need to switch back to the desktop app.

## What's next

Conversation Bridge is evolving quickly. We'll keep refining the Slack experience and are evaluating more platforms. If there's a platform you'd like to see supported, let us know.
