Slack is launching new AI-powered assistants next month. The AI tools will make your work week smoother. The assistant is part of a larger update to boost productivity and reduce chaos. Users can also expect AI-enhanced tools to simplify workflows, manage meetings, and improve search capabilities.
Slack’s new assistant, Agentforce, is designed to help you with the boring parts of your job. You can ask it questions, request status updates, or even practice sales scenarios. Agentforce is still in beta, but it will be a game-changer for teams that juggle multiple tasks and clients throughout the week.
Streamline Your Workflow With AI Power
Three major AI tools are coming to Slack. One is Huddle Notes, which acts like a personal secretary during meetings. It transcribes audio and messages from Slack huddles in real-time, allowing everyone to refer back to the notes. It includes citations, action items, and file attachments.
The Workflow Builder lets you automate everyday tasks. You can use it to greet new team members on Slack or set up a process for assigning tasks. You can create custom workflows to save time. Slack’s search engine is getting an upgrade. You can now search messages, files, video transcripts, Google documents, and even Slack canvases. Find what you need with a simple search.
Teamwork with Slack’s Agentforce and third-party agents
Slack is rolling out new templates and third-party integrations. These templates let teams set up channels with features like project plans or automated workflows. Third-party agents like Adobe Express can also be used within Slack to complete tasks. Slack can connect to Salesforce, giving teams access to customer data in Slack channels. This could make client communication faster and more efficient. Slack is making it easier to stay organized and save time. Its new AI tools will help you manage meetings, projects, and files.
Agentforce, formerly Einstein Copilot, lets users access AI-powered insights in Slack. They can ask questions, issue commands, and get real-time updates. It handles both structured and unstructured data and can recommend next steps and simulate sales scenarios.
Slack lets users integrate third-party agents from providers like Adobe Express, Amazon Q Business, and Cohere. For example, users can design presentations or media campaigns in Slack using Adobe Express. Amazon Q Business can answer questions and complete tasks based on enterprise data. The result is a more connected, efficient workplace where employees can focus on what matters most. These tools make Slack work better. They help you with customer support, projects, and campaigns. Agentforce and third-party agents automate tasks and give you insights right in Slack.
