SandboxAQ Offers Free Switch to Bring AI Agents to Slack, Teams
SandboxAQ has made its Switch product free, according to unite.ai, a move aimed at making it easier for companies to bring AI agents into workplace messaging platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Switch is designed to act as a connector that allows organizations to plug in AI agents, regardless of which underlying model or vendor powers them, directly into the chat tools employees already use daily. By removing the cost barrier, SandboxAQ is positioning Switch as a low-friction entry point for businesses experimenting with or scaling agentic AI deployments inside existing workflows.
The pitch, as described by unite.ai, centers on flexibility: rather than locking customers into a single AI provider, Switch is built to support any AI agent, giving enterprises room to mix and match tools as their needs change. That approach reflects a broader trend among enterprise AI vendors seeking to reduce vendor lock-in concerns while still capturing distribution through popular collaboration software.
SandboxAQ, known primarily for its work spanning quantum technology and AI applications, has been expanding its enterprise software offerings. Making Switch free removes a cost hurdle for companies at a stage where many are still testing how AI agents fit into daily operations such as answering questions, automating routine tasks, or surfacing information from internal systems.
Embedding AI agents inside Slack and Teams reflects a broader push across the industry to meet workers where they already collaborate, rather than requiring them to adopt new standalone interfaces. Unite.ai’s report did not specify additional pricing tiers, feature limitations, or a timeline for the free offering, and further details on rollout and enterprise support were not disclosed in the source report.
