Slack turns its Slackbot into a ‘dedicated AI companion’

I’ve been using Slack for nearly a decade and the platform’s chatbot, Slackbot, has always been a bit disappointing. It can provide reminders and notifications, and that’s about it. This may change in the near future, as the platform is testing Redesigned Slackbot packed with AI.

The new Slackbot is basically an AI chatbot like the rest, but this software is specifically designed to help with common work tasks. People can use natural language to talk to the bot and it can do things like prepare project plans, set daily priorities, and analyze reports. It can also help people find information when they only remember a few details. The company says it will “give every employee AI superpowers” so they can “increase productivity at the speed of AI.”

To that end, the new Slackbot integrates with tools like Google Drive, Salesforce, and OneDrive. It can provide “clear insights” by analyzing those other platforms. Slack also says that the chatbot will continue to grow and evolve, and will eventually be able to “take actions on your behalf and build agents at your request, all without the need for code.”

Edge I got a look at the new Slackbot in action She noted that she helped create a social media campaign using a brand approach and organize the product launch plan. The post did not indicate whether the social media campaign and product launch plan were good or not.

The redesigned, AI-focused Slackbot is currently available in beta to 70,000 users, but Slack has plans for a widespread rollout by the end of the year. Companies will be able to turn this feature off, but all of us working women won’t have that luxury.

This is just it Slack’s latest AI injection. After all, the parent company is Salesforce He absolutely loves technology. Slack recently added AI writing assistance to its Canvas document sharing space and introduced AI technology Channel summaries and topic summaries. It was also recently reported that the company was Using people’s conversations to train its AI models By default, with businesses having to specifically request to opt out.
