Speaking at Dreamforce: Exploring AI Agents in Slack 💬

My first Dreamforce experience — sharing how Slack is shaping the future of work through AI agents and conversational workflows.

Spoke at Dreamforce for the first time last week! 🎤

I had the honor of presenting four sessions on AI agents in Slack at the Basecamp Theater in the Trailblazer Forest. 🌲

As someone who works on the Slack Sidebar Systems team (yes, that thing you stare at all day!) and previously helped launch Slack Lists, which now helps showcase Salesforce data inside of Slack, it was amazing to share how Slack is evolving to become a powerful product as the conversational home for AI agents. 💯

💬 Key themes I covered:

  • How Slack’s 700M daily messages create the perfect context for smarter AI
  • Different use cases of AI agents with Salesforce + Slack
  • Why Slack is uniquely positioned as the best operating system for the #FutureOfWork

💡 Personal takeaways from my first Dreamforce:

  • It was exciting to see all the buzz around Slackbot AI — basically ChatGPT inside Slack. I’ve been using it a lot at work, and it’s going to be a game changer once it’s fully launched. It’s not just another chatbot — it’s an AI companion that understands context and can take action across all your Slack data.
  • There’s huge opportunity for Salesforce customers to unlock new productivity by connecting CRM data with conversational workflows.

Couldn’t be prouder to represent the Slack team. The future of work is conversational, and it’s happening now! 💛

P.S. Thank you Jacob from Slack Community for helping connect me to this opportunity — and to Slack team for the Slackbot AI swag! 🎁
