When you're ready to scale, your data migrates seamlessly to Salesforce. ## Other notable Slack AI upgrades that matter for real estate agents - Answers, not just search: Ask natural language questions across channels and files; get an answer with citations. - Auto-summaries: Catch up on long threads, channels, and meetings with one-click summaries and action item extraction. - Meeting recaps: Get a clean recap, decisions, and to-dos posted to the channel automatically. - Workflow Builder, supercharged: Describe what you want and let AI assemble a workflow that connects people, bots, and your apps. - Multilingual support: Translate messages and summaries inline. ## How to get started: A practical rollout plan for real estate agents 1.
