Where Work Happens
Our Mission:To make people’s workinglives simpler, more pleasant,and more productive.
Slack takes communication that happens across a bunch of disconnected places
And brings those conversations and the people having them together.
Slack takes the hundreds of siloed apps fragmenting your workflows
385+ apps
And makes it possible to use them, together, to get your work done in Slack.
