How to Build a Slack Daily Digest You Can Chat With

Problem: Lots of Conversations, Difficult to Follow Everything

In today's fast-paced working environment, Slack has become an essential tool for team communication. With numerous channels and constant streams of messages, it can be overwhelming to keep track of every conversation. Important updates might be missed, and staying informed can feel daunting.

Solutions: Slack Daily/Weekly Digest Using Generative AI

To tackle this problem, you can integrate AI assistants built on advanced models such as OpenAI Assistant/GPTs, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini. These AI-powered assistants can be seamlessly integrated into Slack using Runbear. By setting up a daily or weekly trigger, these assistants can summarize conversations and provide a digest that keeps everyone on the same page.

How It Works
