Slack is turning Slackbot into an AI assistant
"The revamped Slackbot acts more like an AI companion that can help you create plans, schedule meetings, find files, and more."
""Slackbot today is fairly rudimentary," Rob Seaman, Slack's senior vice president of enterprise product, tells The Verge. "But what we've done is we've actually rebuilt it from the ground up as a personalized AI companion.""
"As part of the pilot, Slackbot will appear as an icon next to the search bar at the top of the workspace. Clicking into it will open a DM-like panel on the right side of the screen where you can enter prompts like "What are my priorities for today?" or "Find the latest updates on a project." The new Slackbot will draw from your conversations, files, and workspace to provide personalized assistance."
Slack is piloting an updated Slackbot that functions as an AI assistant across workspaces. The new Slackbot can create custom plans, schedule meetings, find files, and sift through messages to gather information from multiple channels. The assistant appears as an icon near the search bar and opens a DM-like panel for user prompts such as "What are my priorities for today?" or "Find the latest updates on a project." Slackbot draws from conversations, files, and workspace data to deliver personalized assistance and aims to replace rudimentary reminders with proactive, contextual support.
