Over 25 New GenAI Apps Arrive on Slack Marketplace
Slack, the workspace communication platform owned by SalesForce, announced on Tuesday that it has added more than 25 generative AI apps to its marketplace. These apps will use AI for multiple use cases such as content creation, market research, HR operations, and more. The Slack Marketplace enables users to integrate various apps into the Slack application that aid several tasks and operations, thereby enhancing the platform’s functionality. The marketplace now features AI apps from leading companies like Asana, UiPath, Adobe, Glean, Cohere, Perplexity, and more. The company also said that ten more apps are in the pipeline. Rahul Sharma, VP of sales at Salesforce India, said, “With new AI apps now available in the Slack Marketplace, we’re seeing a powerful shift in how work gets done – right within the conversational interface employees already use daily.” These apps now ‘enable organisations to turn on a dedicated, always-on digital labour force in Slack,’ added Sharma. In January, Salesforce announced the availability of its Agentforce 2.0, which integrates advanced AI agents into Slack. These agents can handle multistep tasks, respond in real time within channels and direct messages (DMs), use pre-built Slack actions, and leverage enterprise search to draw contextual insights from Slack data. In March, TechCrunch reported that OpenAI will soon begin testing a feature that would allow users to integrate apps like Slack and Google Drive with ChatGPT. The new feature, called ChatGPT Connectors, allows users on the ChatGPT Team to link external apps to the platform. This enables ChatGPT to respond to queries using data from those connected apps. “This will allow employees using ChatGPT to easily make use of internal information similar to how they can use world knowledge via web search,” TechCrunch reported, citing documents.
These apps will use AI for multiple use cases such as content creation, market research, HR operations, and more.
