Slack for Employee and Frontline Communications

AI agents can be powerful, but their use necessitates the creation of accountability mechanisms and collaboration frameworks.

Trust in AI systems is crucial, and it is important to design AI systems in a way that ensures data security, content safety, and transparency. As AI agents become increasingly prevalent in our lives and workplaces, there is a need for designing AI agents that are accountable, trustworthy, and collaborative.  Establishing guardrails to control the actions of AI agents is essential to prevent them from overreaching or executing actions they have not been allowed to perform.

Originally presented at Slack City Tour London, join this webinar to hear an unbiased view from Franny Hsiao, Distinguished AI Architect at Salesforce.

Things you’ll learn:
- The role of AI agents in our lives and workplace
- Need for designing accountable, trustworthy, and collaborative AI agents

The concept of “work” is going through a big inflection point. The way we work is changing. The current work environment isn’t working. Employees are overwhelmed by information and applications. Knowledge workers use 11 to 25 applications daily. This makes them feel lost and spend more time on auxiliary tasks than actual work. It’s hard for employees to be efficient and effective when they have to use so many unconnected applications.

AI has the potential to dramatically improve productivity and efficiency. In fact, by 2030, it’s estimated that 80% of project management tasks will be automated. To take advantage of these benefits, we need to do more than just adopt new technology. We need to change the way we work.

Listen in to this session from Slack City Tour Amsterdam, to hear from Mike Rawson, CIO of citizenM on how they use Slack across various lines of business, how the company transitioned property management systems in just weeks instead of months, and how Slack has played an instrumental role in the Value Driven Agile approach Mike has developed. 

Things you’ll learn:
- The current state of work and its challenges
- What is the potential of AI and technology in the future of work
- citizenM's digital transformation journey and use of Slack

When was the last time you searched for critical work information only to spend too much time looking across systems and coming up empty-handed?

You’re not alone, in fact 47% of digital workers struggle to find data or information to perform their jobs effectively.[1]

Your company data is scattered everywhere. Some of it is structured, like CRM or transactional data, while some of it is unstructured, like documents, decks, or messages. How do you keep up and sift through all the noise to get your job done? AI in Slack can help.

When unstructured data in Slack, structured data from CRM, and insights from agents all come together inside Slack, organisations are sitting on a wealth of data and information. Right in Slack, you can harness all this data with AI, and use it to find and prioritise information easier, unlocking your productivity potential.
