Slack Launches AI Feature to Build Interactive Reports and Dashboards in Chats

Slack is rolling out a new feature called Slackforce Surfaces that lets users create interactive reports, polls, dashboards, and presentations directly within chats. Users can describe their needs to Slackbot, which uses AI to pull relevant information from conversations and connected apps such as Google Drive and Salesforce. The generated Surfaces can be shared with colleagues, pinned to channels, and opened for comments and interaction. The feature was demonstrated with an example of a user requesting an arcade-themed visualization of AI token usage data.
