Salesforce has launched a redesigned Slackbot, now generally available, aiming to transform Slack into a central interface for enterprise AI. Positioned as a personal AI agent, it can search information, generate documents, and schedule meetings within Slack, leveraging user data and permissions. While Salesforce emphasizes enhanced data security and real-time retrieval to build trust, some third-party AI vendors have criticized recent API restrictions impacting their access to Slack data.
