Agentic productivity for every employee in Slack.
Agents become teammates with Agentforce in Slack. Powered by relevant conversations in Slack and your trusted enterprise data, Agentforce will suggest and take action right in the flow of work.
Unlock conversational context for every employee agent.
Conversational data makes agents more contextually relevant, insightful and accurate. When you add your agents to Slack, you can give them permission to tap into the public conversation data in your organization’s Slack instance, making them more precise and powerful.
80% of enterprise data is unstructured.¹
Turn agents into teammates.
Work alongside agents in Slack as they suggest and execute actions on your behalf. As employees discover new agents and their skill sets, they can seamlessly interact with them in channels, DMs, and threads.
Teams that use Slack are 47% more productive.²
Automate Slack actions through Agentforce.
Give your agents the ability to create or update canvases, channels, send a DM and more in Slack! You can then set rules around which actions to take and what conditions to take them under — meaning they’ll only work with the guardrails you set to keep them on track.
Bring your Agentforce into the flow of work.
Surface any employee facing agent in Slack and unlock agentic productivity.
Slack is the central hub to assemble all of your Agentforce. Employees can discover agents, view their profiles, skills, knowledge, and engage in conversation through direct messages like any other member of the team. The Agentforce Hub in Slack assists employees in understanding how relevant agents are most helpful to them, and includes suggested prompts for a more intuitive experience. Users can interact with agents in a single, conversational thread and engage with role-specific agents to surface knowledge and execute actions.
Power agents with pre-packaged, Slack-specific actions in Agent Builder. Drive improved productivity when you give agents the ability to take actions in Slack on behalf of your employees. Agents can create and update canvases, lists, search Slack, send direct messages and more!
Slack Agent Templates are pre-built agents that come with skills, topics and actions that help you deploy tailored solutions faster. Agents are customizable, and you can connect them to the right external data to make them even more intelligent. Get started faster with purpose-built Slack agents, like the Product Specialist Agent, IT Support Agent, Benefits Agent, Approvals Agent and many more!

Agentforce in Slack FAQs
An AI agent is an intelligent system that can handle customer questions all on its own, no humans needed. It uses machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) to tackle everything from easy questions to tricky problems, and it can even juggle multiple tasks at once. AI agents can learn and get better over time, which is different from traditional AI that needs humans to step in for certain tasks. AI agents can take action on the behalf of employees.
Agentforce is a suite of customizable agents and tools seamlessly integrated with your data and apps. Agents are a new type of software capable of performing work with varying degrees of autonomy. An agent executes work by searching for relevant data, analyzing this data to formulate a plan, and then actioning the plan. This process can be entirely independent or may involve interactions and handoffs with employees. Agent Builder is the no-code solution used to build, manage and customize agents for any business department in minutes.
With Agentforce in Slack, you can surface custom agents right into your flow of work. In Slack, you can engage with Agentforce just like another teammate. Agentforce’s responses will be grounded in both your conversational data from Slack and your CRM data from Salesforce – giving you all the context you need to support employees, assist customers, close deals, and move projects to the finish line.
Slack data across channels, threads, canvases and conversations compliments and enriches your connected, enterprise data sources, resulting in more effective agent responses and actions.
Every Slack workspace is a wealth of institutional knowledge — it’s the long-term memory bank of your company. For AI to be useful, it needs access to data, not just the data in one app or system, but across all your systems, including the unstructured data in team conversations. This contextual data is the key to high-quality, relevant AI outputs and adjusting to new contextual clues in real time.
Every company’s untapped, unstructured data — including user-generated content, natural language text, audio and video files, and more — enhances agent reasoning and decisioning for better relevance. When you add agents to Slack, customers can give them permission to tap into the public conversational data in your organization's Slack instance, making them precise and powerful. Because your data is never our product, customers control what data agents can access in Slack. We never train any LLMs on customer data; instead, we use advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques on the unstructured conversational data to give agents the context they need, just at the moment they need it, to support their human counterparts.
You can access Agentforce in Slack with both an Agentforce and a Slack license. Agentforce in Slack will be available in 2025. Talk to an expert to learn more.
