About Slack
Slack is a messaging app that organizes team conversations into channels and direct messages. It connects with many other tools and includes Slackbot, an AI assistant.
What it does
Teams talk in public channels, private groups and direct messages, and threads keep replies attached to the original message. Files and links can be shared in the conversation, and apps can post updates or run workflows. Slackbot can answer questions and help with some tasks. Slack lists and records can track work inside the same app.
