Slack AI

About Slack AI

Slack AI is a suite of artificial intelligence features embedded natively within the Slack collaboration platform. It enables users to search across their entire message history with natural language queries, generate summaries of channels and threads, create automated workflows using AI, and get real-time huddle notes. These capabilities are designed to reduce information overload and help teams work more efficiently. Key features include AI-powered search that understands context and intent, thread and conversation summaries that distill long discussions into key points, channel recaps that highlight what you missed, automatic huddle notes, workflow generation using natural language prompts, and real-time translation. The AI features are deeply integrated into the Slack interface, making them accessible without switching tools. Slack maintains a strong security and compliance posture with SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, ISO 27701, and ISO 42001 certifications. The platform supports GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, FINRA, and FedRAMP compliance requirements, making it suitable for regulated industries including financial services and healthcare. Slack is owned by Salesforce, which acquired the company in 2021 for approximately $27.7 billion. Originally founded in 2013 by Stewart Butterfield, Slack has grown to become one of the most widely used business communication platforms globally, serving hundreds of thousands of organizations. With the June 2025 pricing update, core AI features are now included in paid Slack plans rather than requiring a separate add-on. Business+ and Enterprise plans include the full suite of advanced AI capabilities, while Pro plans include core AI features like conversation summaries and huddle notes.
