Slack has announced Slackforce Surfaces, a feature that lets people create interactive reports, polls, dashboards, presentations, and microsites without leaving a chat. A user describes what they need to Slackbot, and the AI pulls information from relevant conversations and connected apps such as Google Drive and Salesforce. The feature was reported on 10 September 2026; Slack did not give a rollout date. The change means team members may not need a separate tool or a developer for simple internal tools.

What this means for you

If your team uses Slack, you will eventually be able to request a chart or poll in natural language and share it in the channel. But Slack has not said when this ships, so nothing to change today; watch for availability before planning around it.
