Slack Unveils Slackforce Surfaces to Create Interactive Dashboards Within Chat Platform

Slack has introduced a new feature called Slackforce Surfaces that allows users to create interactive dashboards, reports, and presentations within their chat platform. Users can describe what they need, and Slackbot will assemble it from permitted workspace data. This feature is available to customers with Slackbot enabled, including free-tier workspaces.

Slackforce Surfaces can draw from relevant conversations and connected apps, including Salesforce and Google Drive, subject to the permissions already granted to Slack's AI tools. The result stays in Slack, where it can be shared with colleagues, pinned to a channel, explored, and commented on rather than exported to another tool.

The feature is not just limited to creating static dashboards; live-data support is due in October 2026, allowing dashboards to refresh as the underlying information changes. This puts the feature closer to a lightweight business-intelligence tool than a formatted summary. Teams can work from the same view inside the channel.
