Slack bot creation is too complex for non-technical users

Building Slack bots and automations requires developer-level knowledge, locking out non-technical team members from creating their own workflows. This blocks automation adoption across SMBs that rely on Slack but lack in-house developers. The gap persists structurally as Slack has not invested in a no-code native bot builder.
