Slack is transitioning from a single Slackbot to a comprehensive ecosystem of AI agents, powered by partners such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity.
The beta, now reaching 70,000 users, adds a smarter Slackbot that drafts plans, summarizes threads, and pulls data from tools like Google Drive and Salesforce.
Where it adds value
AI inside Slack: I can now use ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants directly in channels or DMs.
Context-aware responses: The AI pulls from live Slack data (messages, files, workflows) without breaking permissions.
Connected tools: Notion, Dropbox, and Writer bring company knowledge into one place.
Code assistance: Engineers can tag @Codex to write or edit code with full context.
What to keep in mind
It’s still in beta, and each integration behaves a bit differently. Security and governance hold up well, but enterprises will want to confirm compliance before rolling it out widely.
From what I’ve seen, Slack is evolving into an AI-ready workspace, not just for chats, but for action. It’s early, but this feels like the start of every workflow living right where the conversation begins.
