Hey {{first_name}}
Welcome to The AI Report – with a special feature in partnership with Salesforce to explore Slackbot
We’re diving into one of the most impactful tools changing how teams work in 2026, Slackbot as a personal agent for work that helps employees surface insights, act on information faster, and make smarter decisions without leaving Slack.
Salesforce customers are seeing remarkable results. Teams are saving up to 20 hours per week, streamlining workflows, and turning scattered data into actionable insights, freeing employees to focus on work that actually drives business outcomes.
Today, we’ll explore what that means for teams across industries and how Slackbot is both a productivity tool and a strategic partner in the way companies operate and grow in 2026.
Slackbot: Your Personal Agent for Work
In the modern enterprise, employees spend an enormous amount of time managing information rather than acting on it. Slackbot changes that by acting as a personal agent: surfacing relevant data, synthesizing insights, and helping employees make decisions faster, without leaving Slack.
Concrete Benefits for Users
Unlike generic AI assistants, Slackbot understands your context: your conversations, your calendar, your files, and even your team dynamics. This makes it a team mate, the last mile that makes AI truly useful and reliable at work...
Saves hours weekly: Employees at Salesforce report saving between 5 to 20 hours per week by letting Slackbot consolidate information from multiple sources.
Improves focus: By surfacing prioritized tasks and relevant conversations, Slackbot reduces context-switching and allows employees to focus on work that drives business impact.
Supports decision-making: From quarterly review prep to product pilot analysis, Slackbot synthesizes qualitative and quantitative data into actionable insights.
“Slackbot is saving me, at bare minimum, 90 minutes a day. I ask it to create a canvas for a meeting tomorrow, and in 17 seconds it’s better than I could ever do. It tells me next steps, saving time and money.” — Sinan, Head of Beast Games Marketing, Beast Industries
How Slackbot Drives Impact Across Industries
Companies across sectors are using Slackbot to boost efficiency and collaboration:
Media & Content (Beast Industries): Teams streamline content production timelines and create onboarding packages in seconds, freeing up creative bandwidth.
Enterprise Services (Slalom): Slackbot prioritizes client project updates and identifies critical action items, saving employees hours in status meetings.
Tech & SaaS (Salesforce): Employees use Slackbot for self-evaluations and cross-team coordination, translating internal communications into strategic action.
By combining context from Slack with enterprise data from connected systems like Salesforce, Slackbot automatically surfaces correlations between feedback, usage patterns, and priorities. This allows teams to make informed decisions without manual aggregation.
Real-Time Collaboration and Workflow Alignment
Slackbot transforms insights into shared action. Teams can generate Slack Canvases to:
Summarize pilot feedback and adoption metrics.
Identify enterprise accounts for early access.
Align calendars and schedule stakeholder meetings.
“Slackbot is my second brain, it is the memory I wish I had myself. Whenever I have a question about the work we do, I always ask Slackbot. Whether it’s translation help or finding information, both about people and operating the company, Slackbot provides the information and the context to explain it.“ — Peter Stoltz, VP, Head of CIO Office, reMarkable
The Result: Measurable Productivity Gains
The adoption of Slackbot is not just about novelty. Teams report:
Reduced research time: Access relevant conversations and data instantly.
Improved onboarding: Automatically generate contextual welcome packages for new hires.
Faster decision cycles: Prioritize opportunities and actions based on real-time insights.
“Because so much of our work happens in Slack, Slackbot already understands our world. I don’t have to write a long brief to get it up to speed on what we’ve been working on or how the team operates; it just gets the context from day one.” — Megan Harrigan, Director of Global CX Projects & Readiness, Xero
