Channel and thread summarization plus AI search across Slack workspaces.
Best for slack-heavy teams that want AI channel and thread summaries and natural-language search across the workspace. Pricing: $10/user/mo add-on.
What it is
Slack AI is the AI assistant inside Slack. The product summarizes channels and threads, answers natural-language questions across the workspace, and (in 2024) added recap features for Slack Huddles — Slack's voice and video calling product — that produce a transcript and summary at the end of a huddle. Slack AI is priced as a per-seat add-on on top of any paid Slack tier. The product is positioned as a productivity layer for the existing Slack subscription rather than a standalone notetaker or meeting-intelligence tool.
Watch out for: Slack AI is a chat-summarizer, not a meeting-bot; pairs with Huddles transcripts where available.

Can I automate Slack AI-style transcription without running it myself?
Yes. If what you want is transcripts rather than the tool itself, Whipscribe does the same job as a hosted API: submit a file or URL, poll a job id, pull the result as txt, json, srt, vtt or docx. $0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. The automation recipes on this site show it wired to Drive folders, Zoom recordings, S3 buckets and no-code platforms.
How is Whipscribe different from Slack AI?
Slack AI is another vendor's product; Whipscribe is a per-minute transcription service. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training, and every job returns five formats plus an AI summary, quotes and topics. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export.
What does transcription cost if I use Whipscribe instead of Slack AI?
$0.012 a minute — about $0.72 an audio hour — bought as credits that never expire. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum: a 3-hour recording is about $2.16, a thousand-hour archive is about $720 once. The first 20 minutes of any recording are transcribed free, and a pack from $6 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest and opens every export, so you can see what your recording holds before paying anything.
Where is the Slack AI category heading?
Three things are moving across the whole speech-to-text market right now: summaries, action items and speaker insights generated on top of the transcript rather than sold separately; private, secured deployment where the audio never leaves a boundary you control; and agent access — transcription exposed as a tool that Claude, Cursor or a workflow runner can call directly. Whipscribe ships all three today: per-job insights, our own servers, and an MCP server.
Whipscribe is a hosted transcription service. If you want transcripts without running infrastructure, paste a URL or drop a file in the form below — you'll have a transcript in seconds.
