VerlumoAIWork management boards with AI that plans and summarises for you.
View detailsSlack AI is the built-in artificial intelligence layer inside Slack, the team messaging app used by millions of workplaces. Instead of scrolling through long threads or re-reading a channel you missed, you can ask Slack AI for a summary of what happened, search for an answer across messages and files, and get a recap of a channel or a direct conversation in seconds. It turns the endless stream of workplace chat into something you can actually catch up on.
Key Features
- Channel and thread summaries that catch you up in seconds
- AI-powered search across messages, files, and channels
- Slackbot assistant that answers questions from workspace knowledge
- Channel recaps for anything you missed while away

How it works
The tool is designed for the daily reality of busy teams: channels that move fast, huddles that produce decisions nobody wrote down, and new joiners who need to get up to speed. Slack AI can summarise unread messages, surface the key points from a long discussion, and draft replies in your own tone. It works in the languages your team already uses and respects Slack's existing permissions, so people only see AI answers drawn from channels they are allowed to read.
Slack AI is not a separate app to learn; it lives inside the Slack you already open every morning. The catch is the price of entry: basic AI summaries come with the Pro plan, but the full set of features, including the Slackbot assistant, channel recaps, and AI-powered search, needs the Business+ plan. Small teams on Pro get a useful taste, while larger organisations that want the whole AI toolkit should budget for Business+ at $15 per user per month on annual billing.
