The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Slack is testing a major upgrade to Slackbot that transforms it from a basic notification tool into an AI-powered assistant. The rebuilt Slackbot can create custom workspace plans, search through messages, gather information across channels, and serve as a personalized AI companion that leverages conversations, workspace data, and files to provide customized assistance.
