Slack adds 30 AI features to Slackbot, its most ambitious update since the Salesforce acquisition

The announcement, timed to a keynote event that Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff is headlining Tuesday morning, arrives less than three months after Slackbot first became generally available on January 13 to Business+ and Enterprise+ subscribers. In that short window, Slack says the feature is on track to become the fastest-adopted product in Salesforce's 27-year history, with some employees at customer organizations reporting they save up to 90 minutes per day. Inside Salesforce itself, teams claim savings of up to 20 hours per week, translating to more than $6.4 million in estimated productivity value.

Mistral AI just released a text-to-speech model it says beats ElevenLabs — and it's giving away the weights for free

The enterprise voice AI market is in the middle of a land grab. ElevenLabs and IBM announced a collaboration just this week to bring premium voice capabilities into IBM's watsonx Orchestrate platform. Google Cloud has been expanding its Chirp 3 HD voices. OpenAI continues to iterate on its own speech synthesis. And the market underpinning all of this activity is enormous — voice AI crossed $22 billion globally in 2026, with the voice AI agents segment alone projected to reach $47.5 billion by 2034, according to industry estimates.
