PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is Slack AI?

Slack AI is the native artificial intelligence layer built into the Slack collaboration platform. It works where teams already communicate, using the shared conversation history, files, and connected app data in a workspace as its knowledge source. Core capabilities include channel and thread summaries, meeting summaries with transcripts and action items, AI search that answers questions from conversations and shared files, daily recaps, file summaries, and AI workflow generation from a single prompt. Slackbot acts as a personal AI agent that understands workspace context and can help prepare for meetings, analyze reports, and draft project briefs. AI features are available across paid Slack plans, with advanced capabilities such as AI search, workflow generation, and Slackbot on higher tiers; a free plan includes basic AI features. Access is through the Slack website and apps.
