Slack is aiming to eliminate workplace inefficiencies by embedding AI directly into the user’s daily workflow. The updated Slack platform includes enterprise-grade search, AI-powered writing assistance, and contextual message insights, aimed at minimising task switching and increasing team productivity.
Slack’s approach integrates intelligence into conversations, documents, and project updates, eliminating the need to switch tools. Features like enterprise search now allow users to retrieve information from Google Drive, Confluence, GitHub, and Salesforce, all from within Slack.
“AI that’s intuitive, secure, and embedded directly in the flow of work — that’s what Slack delivers,” said Rahul Sharma, VP of sales at Salesforce India. “From instantly finding vital data to summarising discussions, it removes friction and gives teams back time to focus on what matters.”
Slack said that upcoming features include AI writing assistance that can generate summaries, restructure content, and extract action points from Slack conversations and huddles. Slack also plans to roll out in-line message insights, AI-generated channel recaps, profile summaries, and language translations to help teams collaborate more efficiently.
Slack emphasised its commitment to privacy and security, stating that customer data will not be used to train AI models and all features comply with enterprise-grade compliance standards. AI capabilities will be included across all paid plans, with higher tiers unlocking more advanced tools such as workflow automation and evolved task management.
With these enhancements, Slack says that it plans to become a full-fledged AI-powered work operating system tailored to the modern enterprise.
