Imagine if you had an executive assistant who was fielding all of the messages that you see in Slack. You'd want them to separate the important messages from the noise: • "Respond to this customer question" • "Review this memo" • "Sign off on this decision" You'd want them to draft responses for you as well, so that you can just approve the drafts and hit send. That's what we're launching today: an AI executive assistant that can take these parts of your workload off your shoulders completely. We've been experimenting with this internally and have been amazed by how AI accelerates our work in Slack. 📚 Summarize long conversations Your AI Assistant works alongside you in Slack summarizing messages & pulling out action items. ✍️ Draft replies Let the AI assistant take a first pass at replies for you. Or you can guide it with a prompt, and let it take care of the rest. 👀 Coming Soon This is only the beginning. We're excited to hear your feedback, to help build the AI Executive Assistant of the future. Here's what's on our roadmap. • Add custom system prompts to teach your AI assistant more about you • Teach the AI assistant to match your communication style • Add custom prompts by #channel • Extract next steps and to-dos from conversations • Identify the status of a conversation: open, in-progress, done, etc. • Tag conversations by type: discussion, question, announcement, bug report, etc. Q: What kinds of prompts would you want to give your AI Assistant? Let us know in the comments! 🧢 bonus swag! We've got limited edition hats that we're sending to the first 50 Product Hunters who sign up as Dispatch customers.

This is awesome! I would love to have an assistant summarize all my unread Slack messages throughout the day, and surface important items I've missed. How can I train my AI assistant to know what is relevant to my work and interests?
Stedman Blake Hood
@suzanne_wang great question! For the draft replies, you can provide custom prompts via Slack's text input fields, like so https://share.cleanshot.com/LdK1... For summaries and action items, we'll soon allow users to specify custom prompts to train your AI assistant on what matters most to you.

@stedmanblake okay that's cool, didn't realize this! 👀👀👀
Stedman Blake Hood
@alexhbass haha yeah it's a bit of an Easter Egg 🐰🥚
Alex Bass
Okay, so Dispatch alone has made us way more productive in Slack. Love that you're experimenting with AI to go even further into that. From drafting messages to summarizing channels, super super interesting! Excited to give it a spin 🙌

Nice! Which models are y'all using? LLaMA, OpenAI? Are you doing any fine-tuning?
Daniel de Haas
Thanks @kirbywinfield! These features are built on GPT 3.5 Turbo without any fine tuning, but we've been talking a lot about switching over to LLaMA in the medium term. OpenAI was super fast for us to get up and running with, though, which is why we started there.
This is a game-changer! 🚀 Having an AI Executive Assistant that can summarize conversations and draft replies in Slack sounds incredibly efficient. How customizable is it to adapt to different work styles and preferences?
Stedman Blake Hood
Hey @ricardo_luz - we noticed that all of the AI tools we used required a lot of iteration -- trial and error -- before you really got it right. So we think it's super important for the user to be able to help tailor the AI's output to their work styles and preferences. A true Executive Assistant would be able to adapt to their boss' needs, so how can we simulate that? With our draft replies, the user can actually provide custom prompts via Slack's text input fields. You can see it in action here: https://share.cleanshot.com/LdK1... We're building the ability for users to specify "system prompts" -- i.e. information that their AI assistant can keep in mind across all of their tasks. Stay tuned!
