What is Slack AI?
Slack AI is a set of built-in artificial intelligence tools designed to make your workspace smarter.
Instead of scrolling through endless messages or pinging teammates for answers, you can use natural language to search conversations, generate quick summaries of channels or threads, and surface the context you need right when you need it.
How Slack AI Works
Slack AI takes what you already do in Slack; chatting, sharing files, organizing projects—and layers intelligence on top to help you find answers faster and keep your team focused. It blends natural language search with summarization so you don’t have to waste time digging through old threads or asking the same questions again.
- Smart Search: Type a question in plain English and get direct answers pulled from past conversations and documents.
- Channel Summaries: Quickly catch up on what you missed with concise recaps of long discussions.
- Thread Highlights: Extract the key points from busy threads so you only see what matters most.
- Knowledge Surfacing: Important insights are surfaced automatically, making Slack a living knowledge base instead of just a chat log.
By combining these features, Slack AI turns your workspace into a searchable, self-updating hub of knowledge that helps everyone work with more clarity and less backtracking.
