Slack Can Now Generate Interactive Charts and Reports Inside Chats

Slack has launched Slackforce Surfaces, a new feature that enables users to vibe-code — using natural language prompts — interactive data visualizations and reports directly within Slack channels. The feature is powered by Salesforce's AI stack and represents a tight integration between conversational AI and business intelligence within the collaboration layer. For developers building workplace productivity tools, this demonstrates how AI-native features are moving from standalone apps into embedded, context-aware interfaces inside existing workflows. Engineers on Salesforce or Slack platforms should evaluate the new API surface for building custom data-driven automations. This is part of a broader trend of AI collapsing the distance between data querying and the communication layer where decisions are made.
