No mention about whether they use their own in-house LLM or whether they use a 3rd party like OpenAI, does anyone know more about this?

Edit: from the linked Privacy Statement:

> Contracted service providers may also deliver artificial intelligence and generative artificial intelligence capabilities to analyze data, determine trends, make predictions and create AI-generated responses

So it looks like they may use a 3rd parties to generate AI summaries and responses, sounds like a privacy nightmare for companies.

Having worked at Salesforce, I assume it's gonna be in-house stuff from the Einstein team.

Slack, and messaging apps in general are the absolute last place I want AI functionality. I don’t want to think I’m chatting with someone when I’m actually with their AI PA.

Einstein Team? : 0

I hate the trend of people's name getting associated with companies they have no connection with. Tesla is bad enough but are you saying the ml department of salesforce is called Einstein? Hilarious.

Making a fake Chatbot that can masquerade as a person is unlikely to be a feature of slack. In the article, it focuses on summarizing, which I personally feel would be immensely valuable. It would be great too if the AI can learn my personal relevance somehow so it can guess which messages I’d care about and which I don’t.
