Slack makes the agent a native object in its own surface; SandboxAQ makes the surface swappable. That's the 2024 MCP fight replayed one layer up, and Product Hunt's #3 launch the next morning, Traccia, sold the same vendor-neutral promise at the observability tier on OpenTelemetry, naming Langfuse, Helicone and Lyzr as competitors (Product Hunt).
