What is the best AI agent for Slack?
Glad is our top pick. Mention @Glad in any Slack thread and it does the job in your tools, from updating a HubSpot deal to filing a Linear ticket, across 1,500+ apps. Every team in the workspace can use it from day one, it's live in two minutes, and the first 50 tasks are free.
What is the difference between Slack AI and an AI agent?
Slack AI is the set of AI features built into Slack, like summaries and Slackbot. An AI agent for Slack is a teammate you mention in a thread that does the job in another tool. Mention @Glad and it updates the HubSpot deal, files the Linear ticket or drafts the Gmail reply, then answers in the thread.
Is Slackbot enough?
Slackbot works inside Slack and comes with Business+ at $15 a user a month, yearly. Glad does the work in the rest of your stack too, from HubSpot and Linear to Gmail and QuickBooks, 1,500+ tools in all, and everyone in the workspace can use it under one plan.
Are there free AI agents for Slack?
Yes. Glad starts with 50 free tasks and no card, on real work in your own tools. Paid plans start at $49 a month for the whole workspace.
Which AI agents for Slack charge a flat price?
Glad. One price covers the whole Slack workspace, with no seats and no credits: $49, $99 or $249 a month for 250, 600 or 1,750 tasks.
Can an AI agent in Slack use each person's own accounts?
Yes. In Glad, each person connects their own Gmail, HubSpot or Linear, so a draft goes out under the right name. Sharing a connection with the team needs an admin's yes.
Is it safe to let an AI agent act in Slack?
Yes, when you can see what it does. Glad sees only the channels it's invited to. It shows the action in the thread and waits for a yes before it sends something or changes shared data, every tool run and approval lands in an audit log, and we never train on your data.
How do I add an AI agent to Slack?
Click Add to Slack, approve the install, and invite @Glad to a channel. It takes about two minutes, with no setup call. Then each person connects their own accounts.
