Slack Launches Interactive AI-Generated Reports Within Chats
Slack has introduced a new feature called Slackforce Surfaces, allowing users to create interactive reports, dashboards, and presentations directly within chat conversations. By describing their needs to Slackbot, the AI assistant gathers data from connected apps like Google Drive or Salesforce and generates visual tools that can be shared with colleagues for real-time collaboration. This update follows recent improvements to Slackbot's capabilities as an AI assistant, including summarizing information across channels and scheduling meetings. The feature is available to all users, free of charge, starting in October 2026. Slack emphasizes that the tool will only access data it has been explicitly granted permission to use. Slackforce Surfaces aims to streamline workflows by enabling teams to analyze and act on information without switching tools or exporting data.
