These apps have become widely used collaboration tools because they tackle the hallmarks of virtual communication \u2014 instant messaging and video chatting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And recently, both platforms have added AI to their roster \u2014 Slack with Slack AI and Microsoft with Copilot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the core debate remains the same.

Huddles are great for quick brainstorming or clarifications. What they lack, though, are the meeting recording and transcription functionalities available in Microsoft Teams. Still, chatting feels more natural and intuitive in Slack than in Teams.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, your choice will depend on how your team prefers to communicate. <strong>If you and your team members primarily connect through messages, Slack would be a better fit. <\/strong><strong>However, for work requiring extensive audio and video calls, Microsoft Teams outperforms Slack.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pumble, where chat &amp; video meet<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"slack-vs-microsoft-teams-both-are-upgrading-their-ai-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slack vs Microsoft Teams: Both are upgrading their AI features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the best collaboration tools for business have begun implementing AI features, and this is true for both Slack and Microsoft.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the outcome of the Slack AI vs Microsoft Copilot clash in terms of <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/communication\/business-communication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business communication<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the app itself, Slack AI seems to have been designed with asynchronous communication in mind. The platform repurposed Slackbot, a previously simple notification tool, into an AI-powered agent which can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Retrieve answers<\/strong> by combing through knowledge from across your workspace,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recap channel discussions<\/strong>,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Summarize thread-based conversations<\/strong>, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create Huddle summaries <\/strong>(later stored in a Slack Canvas).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I can definitely see a few use cases where such actions can come in handy. Say that you join a project halfway through \u2014 a few AI summaries will save time while getting you up to speed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>Copilot in Microsoft Teams has a wider application<\/strong>, mainly due to the fact that Teams is a more comprehensive collaboration platform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to Slack AI, Copilot excels when it comes to summarizing messages and recapping the core decisions and conversations from your chats and channels. These AI functions extend even further, so you can use Copilot to make your <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/blog\/how-to-run-effective-meetings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">meetings more effective<\/a>. As long as the meeting transcription is activated, Copilot can access information from the transcript to respond to prompts such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>\u201cWhat are the takeaways we should pay attention to?\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>\u201cHow can we make our next <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/blog\/make-virtual-meetings-more-interactive-engaging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>meeting more engaging<\/em><\/a><em>?\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>\u201cWhich participants have disagreed with the proposal?\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>\u201cCan you reformat the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/blog\/meeting-minutes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>meeting minutes<\/em><\/a><em> to make them easier to follow?\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>From what I\u2019ve gathered, Microsoft has spread its AI-powered functions across all aspects of Teams, which includes before, during, and after meetings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Slack AI currently has a narrower use, both tools raise the same concerns. As AI features are relatively new, their adoption brings up a few important questions about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>User privacy,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data security, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AI reliability.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it all comes at a price \u2014 a Microsoft 365 Copilot Business license is $21 per user per month (on top of your existing subscription). Slack is slightly more affordable, introducing AI in the Business+ plan, billed at $18 per user per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Keep work simple &amp; secure with Pumble<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"slack-vs-microsoft-teams-both-have-customizable-notifications\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slack vs Microsoft Teams: Both have customizable notifications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A common issue I\u2019ve encountered in <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/learn\/communication\/best-secure-messaging-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">business messaging apps<\/a> is that it\u2019s difficult to remain focused.
