Overview

Slack AI brings native artificial intelligence into the world's most popular team communication platform, used by over 750,000 organizations. The AI features focus on helping you cut through message overload — summarizing channels, recapping threads, answering questions about past conversations, and automating routine workflows.

The standout feature is intelligent search — instead of keyword-matching through thousands of messages, you can ask natural language questions and Slack AI finds relevant answers with source citations from your message history. Channel recaps give you a quick digest of what happened while you were away, and thread summaries condense long discussions into key points.

Slack AI operates entirely within Slack's existing security framework, meaning your data stays within your organization and isn't used to train external models. It's available as an add-on to Slack's paid plans.
