Slack Launches AI Surfaces for Interactive Reports in Chats, Expanding to Live Data in October

Summary
Slack is rolling out Slackforce Surfaces, a feature that lets users create interactive reports, polls, dashboards, presentations and microsites directly inside chats by prompting Slackbot.
Slackbot uses AI to pull from relevant conversations and connected apps such as Google Drive and Salesforce, then generates shareable tools that colleagues can pin, interact with and comment on.
October is the key next step: Surfaces will start working with live data then, while the feature is already available to all Slack customers — including free users — if Slackbot is enabled.
The launch builds on Slack’s recent push to turn Slackbot into a broader AI assistant, after adding channel summaries, message search, meeting scheduling and collaborative vibe-coding channels in recent months.
