Notion has expanded the context of its AI Agents by allowing them to index and utilise context from private Slack channels.

This update significantly deepens the “knowledge retrieval” capabilities of Notion AI. Previously, Agents were limited to public channels. By granting an Agent access to these private threads, you ensure it has a complete picture of the project’s evolution, allowing it to provide more accurate summaries and answer questions based on the actual internal dialogue of your team.

To enable this, navigate to the Integrations section, and select Slack. You can now choose to include your private channels (provided the user setting up the Agent has the necessary permissions in Slack).
