Key point

Details
Slackbot has launched a new client that uses MCP (Model Context Protocol) to connect 20+ external apps, including Atlassian, Linear, Canva, and Zoom, into a single conversational interface.
Moving away from the existing fragmented approach to using AI tools, users can issue commands in natural language within Slack channels to perform tasks such as the following.
- Document signing and ticket updates: Managing Linear tickets and drafting Docusign contracts
- Data visualization and analysis: Analyzing Tableau trends and checking Lucidchart diagrams
- Multiplayer collaboration: Sharing AI response results in a channel for instant collaboration with team members
This update supports plug-and-play MCP integration, allowing new tools to be connected within minutes, and complies with enterprise security guidelines to ensure per-user data boundaries.
