Search with AI in Slack

With AI search in Slack, you can ask a question in your own words and get a concise answer based on messages and files already in your workspace. AI search answers are unique to you — they’ll never contain messages or files you don’t have access to. To keep your data private, search answer data is never used to train large language models (LLMs).

 

What's included in AI search answers

AI search uses only the data you already have access to in Slack to generate search answers. AI search answers will reference most types of files uploaded to Slack. Here's what will be included:

Included

Not included

  • Images including screenshots, photos, or GIFs
  • Embedded objects within a document (such as an image or chart)
  • CSV files and spreadsheets, ex. Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel files

Note: By default, AI will search files but owners and admins can restrict this if they’d like.
