What is Slack AI?

Slack AI is the AI functionality built into Slack, the globally used business messaging tool. It summarizes the content of busy channels and threads, helping you quickly catch up on important information. The channel summary feature lets you understand channels you haven't been following or missed while away with a single click. Thread summaries condense long discussions. Intelligent search allows natural language questions and generates answers from Slack messages and files. All AI processing complies with Slack's security standards, and customer data is never used for LLM training.
