Claude-class intelligence. Zenning acts on it.
Zenning turns frontier reasoning into execution. Ask for a campaign audit and it pulls the data, analyses it, and returns a finished report.
Claude in Slack gives excellent analysis and drafting, but execution across your stack is still manual. For teams, the question is whether the answer becomes completed work.
Real actions, search, and notes — not just suggestions.
Zenning reads and writes across systems, searches every connected app, and takes notes in your meetings. Claude in Slack is strongest for ideation, summarisation, and in-channel writing.
Automations that fire on real-world events.
With Zenning you can build AI employees that trigger on new leads, inbound email, or a schedule and run the workflow end to end. Claude in Slack has no native automation engine.
