Slack lets users generate interactive charts and apps via AI chat
Slack is rolling out "Slackforce Surfaces," letting users describe what they want to Slackbot and have it generate interactive reports, dashboards, polls, or microsites inside a chat, pulling data from connected apps like Google Drive or Salesforce. The results can be shared, pinned to channels, and commented on by teammates.
Why it matters: This extends the 'vibe coding' trend of generating functional software from natural-language prompts into everyday workplace tools, not just dedicated coding apps. It signals AI-generated micro-apps are becoming a standard feature expectation in productivity software, echoing similar moves in coding assistants like Cursor and Codex.
