Salesforce’s collaboration service Slack has jumped on the generative AI bandwagon and will soon allow its users to integrate various generative AI tools directly into the service. It will be possible to integrate existing tools such as ChatGPT, but there is also the possibility to integrate custom AI tools in Slack for those who want to.
Slack writes that AI tools, for example, could help summarize long message threads so that users do not have to read every message in the discussion if it has been going on for a while. There is also the possibility to do some more advanced things with generative AI in Slack, and they give an example: As of now, Slack GPT is under development. There is no information yet on when it will be released to Slack users.
