Since Slack started four years ago, it has quickly become the coolest and dearest workplace communication tool on the market. Somehow, their totally new tone and user experience just struck a chord with users, and the app has taken off like wildfire. In the last couple years, Slack has become much more than a communication tool, in large part because of its Slackbots. Are they really good for us?
A bot is a piece software which performs an automated task. It can help you order lunch, summarize how many paid holidays you have, or show how many times everyone in your team says “should” on Slack. Their most important characteristic is that people can interact with them like they would with a person in a conversation. This helps us obtain necessary information in a faster, more natural way than usual.
