Slack AI will now be available to more paid customers

Staying on top of your latest work news and chats might become a whole lot simpler, all thanks to Slack’s new AI-powered upgrade. The online teamwork hub spilled the beans that its Slack AI service will now be up for grabs for all its paying customers, handing businesses everywhere some nifty time-saving and efficiency-boosting tricks.

On top of that, they’re rolling out a fresh recap feature. It’s like a morning news brief, serving up summaries for channels it thinks you’ll find most important. First shown off in September 2023, Slack AI is already making a big dent in users’ weekly time crunch by digging up answers and spreading knowledge.

Available in English, Spanish, and Japanese right now, and more languages are on the way soon. You can grab it as a paid add-on for all premium Slack plans, costing $10 per user per month for both Slack Pro and Business+ tiers.

The folks at the company reckon their new recap feature will be a real lifesaver for users who are constantly juggling multiple channels. Once you toss a channel into your recap, you’ll get a daily rundown of anything you might’ve missed. And to top it off, Slack AI will even throw in some personalized channel suggestions based on your past Slack antics.

Now, Slack AI is getting even sharper with its search game. According to the company, it’s rolling out “personalized, intelligent responses” to your everyday questions, serving up clear and straight-to-the-point answers that directly point to the relevant Slack messages.

They’re also jazzing up the conversation summaries, giving you the lowdown on the juiciest bits from channels and threads. That way, you can easily get up to speed on anything you might’ve missed, check out daily recaps, and track down the sources of specific messages or notes.

Moving ahead, the company’s on a mission to beef up Slack AI’s search and summarizing skills. They’re tapping into a bunch of data sources like files, Slack apps, canvases, and clips to give Slack AI a broader and deeper understanding of context.

They’re also cooking up a plan to team up with their parent company Salesforce’s Einstein Copilot down the road. This partnership will amp up integration with CRM tools, offering users even more detailed and intuitive answers.

Engineers could also tap into the tool to swiftly track down answers or fixes for past incidents. This helps them resolve issues in a flash and serves as a handy guide for tackling any similar problems that pop up down the line. Users will also get a leg up with smarter channel recaps that sum up the highlights, including any unread messages or alerts. This makes it easier for them to catch up after taking time off or getting bogged down in a day full of meetings.

Samsung planning to introduce blood glucose monitoring with Galaxy Watch 7

There have been whispers about Samsung’s ambition to equip their wearable gadgets with a neat trick: noninvasive blood sugar monitoring. They’ve been tinkering with this tech for a bit, and it seems like their upcoming wearable might be the one to bring this feature to the table.

Fresh off the press from South Korea, word has it that Samsung is gearing up to roll out blood sugar monitoring capabilities with the Galaxy Watch 7 this year. SamMobile recently reported that the Galaxy Watch 7 is slated for its grand reveal on July 10, 2024.

Back in January this year, Hon Pak, the bigwig heading up digital healthcare at Samsung Electronics, talked up the company’s efforts in cracking the code on noninvasive blood sugar monitoring via their wearable gadgets. He made it clear that Samsung was pouring in some serious cash to make this dream a reality.

Just a while back, Pak caught up with the advisory board crew of the Samsung Health platform at the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul. They dove deep into talks about blood sugar monitoring, diabetes, and how AI could spice up Samsung Health.

Now the buzz is that Samsung is likely to throw in blood sugar monitoring into the upcoming Galaxy Watch 7 lineup. But here’s the twist: they might label the smartwatch as an electronic gadget rather than a medical device, mainly because of all those pesky regulatory hoops to jump through.

Don’t count out the chance that this cool feature might also pop up on the Samsung Galaxy Ring, their debut smart ring slated for release later this year. But whether it hits the ground running with the first version is anyone’s guess. Samsung might keep some of the fancy stuff for the second edition of their smart ring.

Moreover, In the next few months, Samsung is gearing up to unveil its latest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Word on the street is that both phones will pack the newest Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. But hold your horses—Samsung might be cooking up something different, as rumors are swirling about the Z Flip 6 getting tested with an older chip.

The US model of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 (SM-F741U) made a cameo in Geekbench’s database not long ago, flaunting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip (dubbed Pineapple) and 8GB of RAM. But guess what? The same model number has been spotted rocking the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip (codenamed Kalama) and a beefier 12GB of RAM.
