The leaves are turning, and tractor rides aren’t the only thing rolling, new Slack features are too. This month was about less switching, less digging and less manual clean-up. Whether you’re an admin trying to get usage data, a seller trying to keep a CRM record current or a developer building on the Slack MCP server, this drop is about giving you the context that you need right where you already are. This month, we grew a fresh batch of features across AI agents, CRM and mobile.

Operations teams are spending more time managing work than doing it. Agentic AI changes that, not by replacing people, but by taking on the coordination that slows them down.

Behavioural data from ActivTrak covering 443 million work hours across 1,111 companies puts AI adoption at 80%.
