Canvas is new surface for teams to create, organize and share informationall inside Slack. Canvases can contain a wide range of content, from text and files to rich media and link unfurls. You can even embed workflows inside a canvas, increasing discoverability of automations while providing more context around how they can be used.

Each channel and DM will automatically include a canvas. From your desktop, open a conversation, then click the canvas icon in the top-right corner of the conversation to see the canvas workspace.

To create a standalone canvas, select the Create new button in the sidebar, then click Canvas.

AI talks to you in the language you set in your individuallanguage preferences. If you would like AI to respond to you in another language, adjust your Slack language preferences. AI can also translate messages in Slack tothe translation language you set.

When you initiate a summary, recap, or search, AI in Slack sends only the most relevant messages to the LLM to create a summary. To do this, Slack messages get filtered through different language-specific models to find and rank highly relevant information. When we say a language is supported, it means that language has its own filtering models, and weve done quality testing on the results.

Currently, languages supported include Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish. If you use Slack in a language not available in your preferences, AI in Slack will still return results, but you may see a difference in quality.
