Six months ago, Salesforce co-founder Parker Harris made a bold prediction: “You may never log in to Salesforce again.” We call that vision Slackforce: a conversational, AI-powered interface to Salesforce, built directly into the flow of work in Slack.
The journey began with Slack CRM, bringing native CRM capabilities directly into Slack. Next, we gave Slackbot the ability to read from, write to, and take action across Salesforce through MCP.
Today, we’re taking the most powerful step yet with the introduction of Slackforce Surfaces. Now, you can transform data from Salesforce and beyond into rich, interactive experiences inside Slack, visualized in virtually any way you can imagine.
Let's look closer at Slackforce Surfaces.
Over the last few years, AI has changed how people write, research, and code. But there's still a huge gap between having the information and turning it into something a team can use together, right where they’re already working.
Decisions get made in conversations. The context lives across messages, data, and connected systems. Turning all of that into a dashboard, an executive deck, an ROI calculator, or a report your team uses still means pulling your team out of that conversation to act on it somewhere else. By the time everyone's there, that information is already going stale. A snapshot of what was true the moment you hit "generate" is not what's true now, and any time the numbers move, someone has to manually refresh the data.
Slackforce Surfaces lets anyone turn the context of their work into a live, interactive interface just by asking Slackbot. It stays connected to the data behind it and lives in one shared place your team can work in together, refreshing automatically as the underlying data changes. Describe what you need in plain language, and Slackbot can build a dashboard, report, executive HTML deck or interactive experience, grounded in real-time data, without anyone having to leave the conversation to use it. You can even ask Slackbot follow-up questions about your live data right there, whenever you need to.
