The feature is currently in beta, with interested users able to join a waitlist. Slack noted that ChatGPT will be one of approximately 2,600 integrations in its ecosystem. Noah Desai Weiss, Slack’s Chief Product Officer, described the integration as enabling new ‘superpowers’ by tapping into an organization’s channel archives and bringing generative AI capabilities directly into Slack to boost productivity.

Slack Launches ChatGPT App Integration
Slack has released the ChatGPT app for Slack, integrating OpenAI’s ChatGPT into the workspace. Announced at Dreamforce 2025, the integration lets users chat with ChatGPT in a dedicated Slack sidebar and leverage Slack’s Real-Time Search API to query conversations. Users can ask questions, get quick summaries of message threads, draft content (including social posts), and search Slack messages to rediscover discussions. Semantic search is available, but gated to customers on Business+ or Enterprise+ plans with the AI feature activated. The app can connect Slack messages to ChatGPT for broader context in chats and brainstorming. However, availability is initially limited to the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom due to connector restrictions; users outside these regions or without a paid subscription will need access via paid plans. Salesforce had previously announced a beta version of this integration about six months earlier.
OpenAI outlines ChatGPT Work for sales teams
OpenAI published an OpenAI Academy article (July 14, 2026) that explains how ChatGPT Work helps sales teams aggregate CRM fields, call notes, email threads, Slack conversations, decks, and account signals to produce drafts of account briefs, meeting packs, forecast reviews, and account plans. The piece links to an on-demand webinar (recorded when workflows were in the former Codex app) and highlights a Sales plugin for ChatGPT Work that integrates with tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Outreach, Clay, Rox, and Actively. The article provides install instructions and showcases common sales use cases for the product.
Salesforce makes Slack the enterprise AI front end
Salesforce unveiled product updates that position Slack (and its built-in Slackbot) as a primary interface for enterprise AI, aiming to turn it into an "ultimate teammate" that connects conversations, data and actions. New capabilities include meeting intelligence that summarizes meetings and captures action items automatically, automatic CRM updates from conversations (including integrations with Customer 360), context that follows users across applications, and reusable "AI skills" to codify and trigger repeatable workflows. Slackbot can route requests across tools via integrations and an MCP client, acting as a conversational layer for both small teams and larger Salesforce customers. The updates are designed to reduce friction between AI-generated insights and execution by tying outputs directly to systems of record and shared workflows.
