Slack Gets 30 New AI Features

Slack started as a messaging app.

Salesforce just turned it into an AI agent platform.

30 new features announced. Rolling out in the coming months.

The Biggest Update

Reusable AI skills.

Define a specific task once. Slackbot applies it across any scenario or context automatically.

Built-in library of skills included. Create your own custom versions on top.

Example: Type "create a budget" in Slack. Slackbot pulls relevant information from all connected channels and apps. Builds an actionable plan. Automatically schedules a meeting. Invites the right people based on their job titles.

All without you lifting a finger after the initial command.

What Slackbot Can Do Now

Transcribe and summarize meetings in real time.

If you zone out mid-meeting, ask Slackbot for a recap including your specific action items.

Monitor your desktop activity — deals, conversations, calendar, habits — and make proactive suggestions or draft follow-ups automatically.

Connect to outside tools and services as an MCP client.

Route work directly to Agentforce or any connected enterprise agent without human intervention.

The Numbers

30 new features rolling out in coming months.

1 million businesses currently running on Slack.

2.5x revenue growth since Salesforce acquired Slack five years ago.

Why This Matters

Slack was a communication tool. Now it's trying to be the central operating system for enterprise work.

AI skills that remember your preferences. An agent that watches your desktop. Meeting summaries on demand. Cross-platform routing without manual handoffs.

For teams: Less context switching. Slackbot handles the coordination layer.

For Salesforce: Slack becomes stickier. Harder to replace when it's running your workflows.

For competitors like Microsoft Teams: The AI feature war in enterprise communication just escalated.

What This Means

If you use Slack: New AI skills and meeting summaries are coming. Start thinking about which workflows to automate first.

If you manage a team: Slackbot scheduling meetings and routing tasks automatically changes how you delegate.

If you evaluate enterprise tools: Slack just became significantly more capable. Factor that into your stack decisions.

Slack is no longer just where work gets discussed. It's where work gets done.

Did You Know?

NVIDIA and Alpamayo partnered to build AI-driven digital twin simulations that let autonomous vehicle developers test self-driving software against millions of virtual miles of road scenarios — including rare and dangerous edge cases — before ever putting a car on a real street.

🗞️ Breaking AI News 🗞️

Google Quietly Launches Offline AI Dictation App

Google just entered the dictation app market.

New app called AI Edge Eloquent. Free on iOS. Offline-first. Powered by Gemma-based speech recognition.

No subscription. No cloud required. Downloads models directly to your phone.

The Problem It Solves

Standard dictation tools transcribe everything verbatim.

Every "um." Every "uh." Every mid-sentence correction.

You still have to clean it up manually before it's usable.

Eloquent removes that step entirely.

How It Works

Download the app. Download the Gemma-based ASR models once.

Start dictating. See live transcription as you speak.

Hit pause. App automatically filters filler words and polishes the text.

Choose how to transform the output: key points, formal writing, shorter version, or longer version.

Turn off cloud mode entirely for fully local processing. When cloud mode is on, Gemini models handle text cleanup in the cloud.

What Makes It Different

Imports keywords, names, and jargon directly from your Gmail account.

Add your own custom words to the dictionary.

Tracks your dictation history. Search through past sessions.

Shows words per minute speed and total words spoken.

Competitive Context

Takes aim directly at Wispr Flow, SuperWhisper, Willow, and other dictation tools.

Most competitors require subscriptions or cloud processing.

Eloquent is free. Works offline. Backed by Google's Gemma models.

Why This Matters

Dictation is becoming a serious productivity tool for knowledge workers.

Google entering this market with a free offline-first app changes the pricing dynamic immediately.

For professionals: Clean polished dictation with no subscription cost and no cloud dependency.

For Google: Another way to get Gemma-powered AI onto devices and into daily workflows.

For paid dictation apps: A free Google alternative just raised the bar on what the baseline should cost.

What This Means

If you dictate notes, emails, or documents: Test Eloquent before paying for a subscription tool.

If you use Wispr Flow or SuperWhisper: Compare features and decide if free offline processing changes your calculus.

If you care about privacy: Full offline mode means your voice never leaves your device.

Dictation just got free, offline, and Google-powered.

Over to You...

Clean dictation. No subscription. No cloud. Would you trust Google with your voice data?

Hit reply and let me know.

To offline AI finally arriving,
