Reviewers largely see Slack as the default hub for team communication: fast, reliable, and especially strong for channels, threads, search, file sharing, huddles, and broad integrations that reduce email and keep remote teams aligned. Many say it fits engineering and startup workflows well and is easier to live in than alternatives like Teams or Discord. The recurring downside is noise: too many notifications, cluttered channels, buried threads, and growing feature complexity. Some also call out free-plan limits, pricing, occasional lag, and weaker video performance.

Hi everyone!
You have a new teammate in @Slack.
Slackbot can now work across your conversations, files, apps, and agents in one place. Ask it for context, have it prep a meeting, route a task, or handle the next step, all without the usual tab switching.
Maybe it is time to see whether your new AI teammate can pass its probation review?
@zaczuo Do you plan to make this AI bot available for the Business version? Because as far as I can see, you currently need the Pro+ version, and that’s quite a significant cost when you consider the whole organisation and the number of paid tools we've already used.

@patryk_iwaszkiewicz almost like our internal bot Iwan :D
Having an AI agent that actually lives inside Slack where all the context already is makes way more sense than switching to some separate AI tool and copy pasting stuff over.
The meeting prep angle is interesting. Does it pull from Slack threads and channels to build context or does it need separate integrations with calendar apps?
