Blog Bot runs on Cloudflare Workflows

This is less a content tool than a proof that Slack can be the UI for serious internal automation if the backend is durable enough.

• –Durable workflows handle the hard parts of long-running LLM jobs: retries, checkpoints, concurrency isolation, and step-by-step state
• –The first version failed because the interface was wrong, not because the system was weak; adoption improved once the workflow moved into Slack
• –MCP-connected Claude Code makes the dev loop conversational too, collapsing build-test-deploy-verify into a thread
• –The proposal system is the strongest idea here: automation is not just executing requests, it is surfacing publishable ideas from PRs and transcripts
• –Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2, and Webflow make this a nice reference architecture for edge-native AI ops, not just a blog bot
