Slack has begun integrating advanced artificial intelligence features to transition toward an “agentic enterprise” model. The company first introduced ‘Slackforce Surfaces’, an AI-powered tool that enables users to generate interactive reports, dashboards, and presentations using natural language. This feature utilizes Slackbot to gather data from conversations and integrated third-party applications like Salesforce and Google Drive to create visualizations within the chat workspace.

Building on this, Slack unveiled further upgrades at the Salesforce Dreamforce 2026 event, including enhanced Slackbot capabilities that allow for two-way voice conversations. These AI agents are designed to perform business actions, such as triggering automations or updating records, through verbal commands. These strategic developments aim to increase Slack’s competitiveness in the enterprise market against Microsoft Teams by leveraging deep AI integration.
