Slack is finally debuting its new in-house tools to the platform, one of which allows users to see summarized versions of long messages and replies.
The workplace channel announced on Wednesday that the paid add-on enterprise will provide users summaries at record speed even without accessing the messages.
Slack claims that integrating its AI tools into the workflow will approximately save 97 mins of work time weekly.
In addition, an AI-powered search query and generative AI will also be introduced to help users navigate easily across channels, threads, and replies.
The company hinted that more AI features will soon be introduced on the platform as it ramps up developments around the technology.
So far, Slack teased a "customizable, automatic recap of channels" for users to remain updated even if they are not regularly active.
Slack has already released Anthropic's Claude AI chatbot on its platform earlier in May last year as its first step on its full dive into AI.

More Online Platforms Integrating AI Tech
Slack is only the latest communication platform that has started to heavily lean on the AI trend as more features using the technology were introduced.
Most social platforms have also begun promoting the technology outside of its algorithm-based uses as an accessibility tool for paid subscribers.
So far, companies have moved past using AI as customer/user assistant chatbots and have started integrating it into more professional- and work-related roles for other businesses.
It is expected that the implementation of similar technology will become more common in the near future as the AI industry continues to expand its influence virtually unopposed.

Many of the leading AI firms are currently based in the US where the rapid developments are being reported.
It remains uncertain what the limits of AI applications will be on the wide scale of the work and tech industries.
