Slack Gets Smarter: New AI Tools Summarize Chats, Explain Jargon, and Automate Work

NO LOC, JUL 17 – Slack rolled out AI features like Enterprise Search and meeting summaries to reduce repetitive tasks, saving users an estimated 1.1 million hours across 600 million messages, company data shows.

  • Salesforce-Owned Slack is launching a range of AI-powered features exclusively for its paying customers to boost efficiency and teamwork.
  • The rollout follows Salesforce's 2021 acquisition of Slack and recent API changes restricting external AI access, aiming to secure customer data internally.
  • Key features include enterprise-level search across integrated apps, AI-generated meeting notes, channel summaries, explanations of workplace jargon, as well as AI-powered writing support within Slack Canvas.
  • Slack claims these AI features save users an average of 97 minutes weekly and have helped summarize over 600 million messages, boosting efficiency.
  • These improvements establish Slack as a key platform for workplace collaboration and position it as a strong rival to Microsoft’s AI initiatives within the multibillion-dollar enterprise communication sector.
