AI Features to Streamline Workplace Communication

The new AI tools, including thread summaries and conversational search, are designed to enhance productivity for Slack Enterprise users.

Slack has launched a suite of generative AI features designed to enhance user productivity by summarizing threads, recapping channels, and providing conversational search capabilities.
The new AI tools are available as a paid add-on for Slack Enterprise users, with plans to expand language support and availability to other plans soon.
Slack's AI features aim to help users quickly catch up on missed conversations, find specific information, and understand workplace policies or projects mentioned in Slack.
The AI capabilities are built on large language models hosted within Slack, ensuring customer data remains private and is not used to train the models or serve other clients.
Slack is also developing additional AI features, including personalized channel summaries and a native integration of Einstein Copilot, to further streamline workplace communication.
