Salesforce launches the new Slackbot AI agent on Jan 13, 2026. Discover how this 'super agent' drafts emails, schedules meetings, and connects with MS Teams.
The era of the simple notification bot is officially over. Salesforce just gave its iconic Slackbot a massive upgrade, transforming it into a full-fledged AI agent. Parker Harris, CTO of Salesforce, isn't hiding his ambitions: he's betting this new version will be as viral as OpenAI'sChatGPT.
Salesforce Slackbot AI Agent 2026: From Assistant to Super Agent
According to TechCrunch, the next-gen Slackbot went live on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. Unlike its predecessor, which primarily handled basic commands and FAQs, this AI agent can find information, draft professional emails, and schedule complex meetings directly within the platform. It's now available for Business+ and Enterprise+ customers.
Breaking Down the Walls: Cross-Platform Interoperability
What sets this update apart is its ability to reach beyond Slack. With user permission, the AI agent can interact with other enterprise tools like Microsoft Teams and Google Drive to retrieve data. Harris described it as an "employee agent" that is highly crafted to provide a seamless agentic experience. During internal testing, it became the most adopted tool in the company's history.
- Core Capabilities: Searching internal docs, drafting outreach, and calendar management.
- Availability: Business+ and Enterprise+ tiers.
- Future Roadmap: Integration of voice commands and real-time web browsing.
