Manage Slack AI settings

Slack AI is a paid add-on that allows members of your organisation to summarise conversations, get answers to questions and more using a set of generative AI tools built directly into Slack. When you purchase Slack AI, your members can use it immediately, but you can limit access by adjusting a series of settings. 

We take our commitment to protecting customer data seriously. Learn how we built Slack to be secure and private.
