AI Summarist
Slack provides an immense variety of use cases for users that continue to evolve and grow over time. To keep track of conversations and avoid feeling overwhelmed, we’ve introduced AI Summarist.
Our Vision
The powerful capabilities of Slack have allowed teams to free themselves from information silos, communicate effectively and get work done more efficiently. The platform produces an evergreen environment of potential; this means more channels, more news and more data to absorb. This, in turn, may lower the capacity for deep work and productivity.
We couldn’t help but ask ourselves: How do we bring more control to the user? The overall goal of this project is to make working with Slack easier and more efficient for all users – and do it in a non-intrusive way, as natural and enjoyable an experience as using Slack itself.
This project uses state-of-the-art conversational AI to help users manage the volume of information on Slack in an efficient manner – to help users efficiently process the steady stream of content updates from multiple channels, DMs, and threads. AI Summarist helps you personalize your information consumption and (indirectly) manage your notifications on your Slack channels, by reading summaries to catch-up on information.
