SLACKBOT GETS MORE PROACTIVE, IN MORE PLACES

Summary from the TLDR IT newsletter

Slack introduced event-triggered Slackbot tasks that can respond to messages, reactions, list updates, and channel creation events. The update also includes Slackbot Mini, a desktop interface for accessing the assistant outside Slack, and expanded Skills capabilities for sharing reusable workflows across teams.
