One thing we're desperate to do in our team is to somehow feed all of our Slack history into an LLM and ask it questions.
There are many decisions, reasons for those decisions, and business logic lost in Slack channels. Slack search isn't nearly good enough to surface them.
I can't count how many times I know the answer is in Slack somewhere 5 months ago but I can't find those messages anymore.
I see this as an inference problem that is solvable by more efficient LLM software and better/more AI hardware.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoI have also thought of doing that, and that can be solved using RAG. Agree that Slack search is terrible. Even just having vector embeddings for search would already be huge.
- aurareturn 3y agoAre there any companies doing this for Slack now? Or are we all just waiting for Slack to add this and charge an extra $20/month per user?
- jascha_eng 3y agoYou can kinda do this with Notion AI. It's not quite the same as slack ofcourse because you need to manually build up the knowledge base first but if it is well maintained you can use it to answer questions easily. Probably there is some tools out there to create notion pages from slack history? Would be a useful tool at least.
