Slack Turns Its Bot Into a Full-Fledged AI Assistant for Teams

Salesforce has transformed Slackbot — the built-in assistant in Slack — into a fully featured AI agent designed to perform real workplace tasks, not just simple notifications. This next-generation Slackbot is rolling out to Business+ and Enterprise+ customers and taps into data and workflows across apps to help users get work done more efficiently.

• Slackbot is now a generative AI agent inside Slack, capable of finding info, drafting emails, and scheduling meetings.

• The upgrade connects Slackbot to external enterprise tools (like Google Drive or Teams) if permitted, reducing context switching.

• Salesforce positions this redesigned agent as part of its broader push toward an agentic enterprise powered by AI.

• The name “Slackbot” remains for familiarity, though the capabilities are fundamentally different from its previous version.

• Future enhancements may include voice control and web browsing to further expand how users interact with the agent.

The new Slackbot represents a significant shift in how AI is integrated into workplace tools, aiming to make context-aware automation a seamless part of daily work. By embedding a powerful AI agent directly in Slack, Salesforce hopes to reduce the friction of multiple apps and workflows while competing with other enterprise AI platforms. As rollout continues, adoption and expansion of capabilities will determine how deeply this change reshapes collaborative work. Read More

PMNA TUTORIAL: How to Build a Single Source of Truth Project Dashboard Using Make.com

Project data is often scattered across multiple tools, making it difficult for PMs and stakeholders to get a clear picture of progress. This workflow shows how to use Make.com to aggregate data from Jira, ClickUp, Google Calendar, GitHub, and more into a single source of truth dashboard. The result is real-time visibility, fewer manual updates, and better alignment across teams.

You’ll learn to:

• Define the key data and metrics for your dashboard

• Create a Notion or Airtable database to serve as the dashboard

• Set up a Make.com scenario to pull updates from all source tools

• Normalize data to ensure consistent formats and labels

• Update the dashboard automatically for each project, task, or milestone

• Highlight risks and blockers with conditional logic

• Include activity feeds from Slack, GitHub, or task tools

• Automate filtered views for different stakeholder audiences

• Schedule regular updates to keep the dashboard current

• Add error logging, access controls, and governance for reliability

Why it matters:

By creating a single source of truth dashboard, PMs can eliminate manual reporting, improve decision-making speed, and align teams effortlessly. This automated, centralized view provides clarity, accountability, and scalability, allowing project managers to focus on driving execution instead of chasing updates.

OpenAI Introduces ChatGPT Go to Bring More Power to Everyday Users

OpenAI has officially launched ChatGPT Go, a new global subscription tier designed as a more affordable way for users to access advanced AI capabilities. Positioned between the free ChatGPT service and the more expensive Plus and Pro tiers, ChatGPT Go offers faster performance, expanded usage limits, and longer memory with the latest GPT-5.2 Instant model.

• Mid-tier subscription: ChatGPT Go is priced around $8/month (localized pricing may vary) and sits between the free tier and ChatGPT Plus.

• More usage: Subscribers get 10× more messages, file uploads, and image creation limits compared to the free plan.

• Longer memory: Go includes a longer context and memory window, so the AI can retain useful information across longer interactions.

• Powered by GPT-5.2 Instant: The plan uses the latest GPT-5.2 Instant model for faster, everyday productivity tasks.

• Ads support access: OpenAI plans to test ads in the ChatGPT Go and free tiers to help subsidize lower prices; higher tiers remain ad-free.

For project managers, ChatGPT Go’s expanded limits and longer memory make it a practical tool for daily workflow support—from drafting status reports and meeting agendas to generating visuals and summarizing documents without hitting strict usage caps. Its affordable entry point also means teams or individual PMs can tap into advanced AI assistance without committing to higher-cost plans, helping boost productivity and collaboration on a budget.

Dopamine.chat Lets You Build Your Own AI Team for Project Work

Dopamine.chat is a no-code AI automation platform that allows teams to build task-specific AI agents and workflows without engineering effort. Instead of relying on a single chat interface, it enables users to deploy multiple AI agents that work together to automate repetitive knowledge work. The platform is designed to deliver fast time-to-value by turning everyday operational tasks into reliable, automated processes.

• No-code AI agent builder – Create custom AI agents with defined roles and behaviors without writing any code.

• Multi-agent workflows – Chain multiple AI agents together to handle complex tasks across several steps or functions.

• Pre-built automation templates – Launch common workflows like summaries, inbox triage, and daily briefings in minutes.

• Real-data integrations – Connect agents to tools like email, calendars, and web sources so they can act on live information.

• Scheduled and event-based triggers – Run agents automatically on a schedule or in response to specific events.

For project managers, Dopamine.chat acts like a lightweight AI operations assistant, reducing time spent on updates, summaries, coordination, and administrative overhead. It helps standardize routine processes, improve visibility through automated reporting, and keep teams aligned without adding more meetings or manual follow-ups. By offloading repetitive cognitive work to AI agents, project managers can focus more on planning, decision-making, and execution rather than operational busywork.
