Slack brings AI-built dashboards and tools into chats with Slackforce Surfaces

Slack is rolling out Slackforce Surfaces, an AI-powered feature that lets Slackbot build interactive charts, dashboards, polls, and more directly inside a chat by pulling data from conversations and connected apps (like Google Drive or Salesforce). Surfaces can be shared, pinned, and commented on within channels, with a demo showing an arcade‑themed AI-token usage dashboard. Slack emphasizes data remains under permission controls and you aren’t exporting it to another tool. The feature is available to all customers (including free) with live data coming in October.

Wedding-day Slack post ignites debate over hustle culture and work boundaries

A startup founder posted a Slack exchange showing a colleague who had just married saying they were back online, praising their dedication. The post went viral and sparked a heated debate about blurred work-life boundaries and the pressures of an 'always-on' culture. Experts say flexible tools and an uncertain job market contribute to the issue, and leaders should set clear boundaries and model healthier expectations. The authenticity of the exchange wasn’t independently verified, and the founder apologized for the post.

The agreement imposes caps on service fees (15%), limits exclusivity to four years, divestitures at 13 venues, and a nearly $300 million payout to states, while some attorneys general push to continue the case.

Pinterest sacks engineers over layoff-tracking script

Pinterest fired two engineers after they wrote custom scripts that improperly accessed confidential information to identify the names and locations of employees who were laid off, then shared it broadly—a breach of company policy and privacy. The layoffs affect about 15% of staff (roughly 700 roles). The incident occurred amid a broader tech-industry wave of cuts, with teams using internal tools like Slack to track who remained at the company.
