"At present, Slackbot handles pretty basic tasks like sending reminders, notifying someone if they're mentioned in a channel they're not part of, and sending custom responses to other users. Also: Your team can chat with Anthropic's Claude directly in Slack now - what it can do Slack is hoping to ramp up the bot's usefulness with an AI injection that lets it handle complex tasks like compiling information across multiple channels, getting the latest updates on a project, creating personalized plans, and more."
"Click on it, and you'll see a new panel where you can enter prompts. You can ask basic questions like "Where is that document that was shared in my last meeting?" or more complex ones. A screenshot showed a user asking Slackbot to do some research in two specific channels and create a launch plan and competitive positioning, and Slackbot chirping back that it was working on that task."
Slack is evolving Slackbot into a personalized AI companion that can handle complex tasks and queries. A small icon next to the search bar will open a prompt panel for basic and advanced requests. The assistant can compile information across multiple channels, fetch the latest project updates, create personalized plans, and learn a specific brand's tone to craft marketing campaigns. Slackbot can gather data from channels, files, and workspaces. Additional AI features include channel recaps, thread summaries for late joiners, meeting huddle notes with action items and deadlines, and real-time translations. Users should see the AI Slackbot by the end of the year.
