TechCrunch·high signal

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff unveiled the most sweeping overhaul of Slack since the $27.7B acquisition, adding 30+ AI capabilities to Slackbot. Key features include reusable AI skills (define once, use anywhere), MCP client integration connecting to Agentforce and external services, meeting transcription with action items, and a controversial desktop monitoring feature where the bot watches screen activity and drafts follow-ups. This is the most aggressive enterprise agent deployment from a major platform to date.
