What is Slack?

Try Slack

Slack is a collaboration platform built around channels, bringing conversations, files, and work together in one place. With Slackbot and AI-powered search, it helps your team turn business context into faster answers and actions. Slack also supports automation and connected apps, and it works for internal teams as well as collaboration with trusted partners and clients.

What is Slack and how does it help teams collaborate day to day?

Slack connects your team through channels, so discussions, files, and work stay organized instead of being scattered across inboxes. It also includes tools like huddles for meetings and supports task and project updates right in the flow of conversation.

How do AI features like Slackbot and AI-powered search help with getting caught up?

Slackbot helps coordinate work across your connected apps and agents and is available in channels, so one person’s answer can help the whole team. AI-powered search gives you one place to find files, decisions, and conversations from your company’s history.

Can anyone automate work in Slack without building complex workflows?

Yes. Slack supports automations so you can manage daily stand-ups, project updates, and approvals without leaving Slack, and the platform is designed so anyone can build time-saving automations “by click or by code.”

What does Slack Code (building in channels) do?

Slack Code is designed for building together in channels, keeping the work and collaboration in the same space. You work with teammates and AI agents in-channel as progress comes together.

How does Slack connect to external tools and apps?

Slack is built as an open platform so you can connect the apps you already use, including examples like Google Drive, ChatGPT, Vercel, Box, Asana, and Workday. Slack also includes work and interactive app experiences inside Slack using embedded app surfaces.

How does Slack Connect work for collaborating with clients and vendors?

Slack Connect lets you chat with trusted external people like clients, vendors, customers, and partners in real time directly from Slack. It’s intended to support secure collaboration with external teams alongside your internal work.
