Slack is launching a suite of built-in AI features that serve up summaries of threads and channel recaps, while also allowing you to ask questions about what’s been going on at work. The workplace management platform first started testing Slack AI last year, but now it’s rolling out as a paid add-on for Slack Enterprise users.

AI already has a track record as a pay-to-use service so this type of move will be the norm, not the exception.

Tech giants can add-on AI tools for free to deepen their moats and increase lock-in, but others can generate revenue with them.
