Slackbot has just undergone a transformation that would make even Cinderella jealous.
With over 30 shiny new capabilities, Slackbot is stepping out from its humble chatbot slippers and into the glass slippers of a full-spectrum enterprise agent.
Since Salesforce's whopping $27.7 billion acquisition of Slack in 2021, this update is the most ambitious yet. Imagine Slackbot taking meeting notes across any video provider, dabbling in CRM for small businesses, and even executing tasks through third-party tools. All this, and you won’t even need to install anything new. It's like magic, but with more AI and fewer wands.
This update is not just a facelift; it's a full-on AI revolution. Slackbot now boasts AI-Skills, reusable instruction sets that make it a digital coworker rather than just a chatty assistant. It can conduct deep research, integrate with external systems, and even listen in on meetings (with your permission, of course). Talk about a multitasking marvel!

Built on Anthropic's Claude model, Slackbot's reasoning is sharper than ever, but keeping it affordable is a challenge. Yet, Slack is committed to making it accessible to all, with plans to roll out features to free and Pro users soon.
But with great power comes great responsibility, and Slack is keen to ensure that all these new features don't compromise user privacy. Everything is opt-in, so your secrets are safe.
In this high-stakes game of AI chess, Slack is making bold moves to stay ahead of competitors like Microsoft and Google. Can Slack maintain its beloved simplicity while embracing this new complexity? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: the future of workplace messaging just got a whole lot more exciting!
