Slack's AI-powered Surfaces bring interactive charts to chats
slack launches ai-powered surfaces, allowing users to create interactive reports and dashboards inside chats with slackbot, streamlining team collaboration and data analysis.
slack has launched a new feature called slackforce surfaces, which enables users to build interactive reports, polls, dashboards, presentations, and other tools directly inside a chat. with surfaces, users can describe their needs to slackbot, an ai-powered assistant that gathers information from relevant conversations and connected apps, such as google drive or salesforce, to create the desired tool. once created, surfaces can be shared with colleagues, allowing them to view, interact with, and leave comments on the content. this update is available to all slack customers, including those who use the platform for free, with slackbot enabled in their workspace. the feature will start supporting live data in october.
