    You snooze, you lose

    Today’s the last day you can nominate your favorite products of 2022 to win a Golden Kitty Award. This year’s trophy is looking really sharp, if we do say so ourselves. 

    In today’s digest: Slack tools to help improve your workflow and Prince Harry’s memoir. Separately, of course.

    6 Slack tools to help you get work done quicker

    Would you be shocked if we told you that generative AI made it into Slack, too? The use case or problem space here seems pretty obvious. Slack content is so dynamic and ephemeral that it’s nearly impossible to find it again. The solution? Just ask your AI teammate, d’oh. 

    Albus is one of those AI teammates. This Slack bot uses GPT-3 to help you write emails, document code, fix bugs, and answer questions. You can use it in your DMs and add it to public channels and group chats. 

    Somi AI and Question Base work similarly. The makers behind the latter say that the motivation behind building Question Base was “to offload the busy experts answering the same questions.” The bot learns from previously asked questions and improves its accuracy from others rating its responses. 

    There's life outside AI, too.

    Lounge for Slack is a digital space you can use to build connections with your teammates in a more relaxed and fun way. You can play games like Pictionary, as well as host watch parties. Before you ask, there’s no AI to beat you at Trivia. 

    Thena helps you handle customer support directly from Slack. You can use it to identify and track customer requests from shared Slack channels and also connect it to any other tools, like Zendesk and Intercom. 

    Google Mentions Slackbot lets you know when the Internet talks about your product, so you don’t miss important mentions.
