Salesforce has launched an overhauled version of Slackbot, transforming its workplace assistant from a basic notification tool into an autonomous AI agent. Available to Business+ and Enterprise+ customers, the revamped Slackbot is built on advanced large language model architecture to search enterprise data, draft workplace documents, and execute automated tasks across organizational channels. Salesforce co-founder and Slack Chief Technology Officer Parker Harris stated that the upgrade represents a fundamental shift toward agentic enterprise workflows. The release positions Salesforce in direct competition with workplace AI solutions developed by Microsoft and Google for productivity and collaboration.
