Slack offers a variety of AI features that allow people in your workspace or Enterprise organization to quickly summarize conversations, take notes during huddles, and more. Owners and admins can manage access to AI features to restrict usage or turn certain features off entirely.
Feature availability
The AI features available to you in Slack depend on your plan:
*Members’ ability to submit feedback to Slack on AI responses is blocked in some workspaces or Enterprise organizations by default. Owners and admins in these workspaces or orgs can override this setting to allow feedback submissions.
**Slackbot may be available to preview in a limited capacity for workspaces on the free and Pro plans.
