Introducing a Game-Changer for Slack Communication
Uhuru Inc., based in Tokyo and led by CEO Takashi Sonoda, has launched an exciting new service that leverages the capabilities of Slack and its own low-code development platform,
enebular. The aim? To streamline workplace communication by using AI to summarize conversations in Slack and deliver them in both text and audio formats across multiple channels. This initiative is designed to help teams easily catch up on daily interactions, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and promoting better information sharing within organizations.
Slack has emerged as a essential business platform that facilitates communication both within and outside organizations, fostering productivity. Teams can effortlessly create groups based on projects and communicate quickly, allowing for seamless exchanges that transcend corporate boundaries. Since the introduction of its generative AI capabilities, dubbed
Slack AI, the platform has enabled users to navigate a large volume of past conversation data more efficiently than ever before.
Uhuru not only utilizes Slack for its internal communications but also provides support for a wide range of organizations, including central government offices, local municipalities, and major economic groups, to adopt this powerful tool. Within its own structure, the company has established dedicated channels themed around AI in Slack, where active discussions and function tests take place on a daily basis. They are not just focused on visualizing internal challenges and enhancing work efficiency; they also automatically distribute the latest AI news in a radio format each day, broadening its approach to harnessing AI.
Through these activities, a clear demand has emerged: many employees want easier access to the information stored within Slack and the conversations occurring simultaneously across multiple channels. While Slack AI has improved efficiency in summarizing information, there is still a need for a system that provides a convenient way to absorb information, even while on the go, and to selectively gather only the necessary insights across various channels. With this in mind, Uhuru has embarked on the development of a multi-channel AI summarization service that incorporates voice information delivery through the synergy of Slack and enebular.
Service Overview
This innovative service generates highlights based on various conversations taking place simultaneously on Slack. The highlights are produced in both text and audio formats for dissemination through multiple channels such as emails and chats. Let's take a closer look at the key features:
Highlight Generation
Using AI, the service automatically generates highlights from Slack conversation data. This means users can quickly catch up on essential points from simultaneous discussions without the hassle of sifting through threads manually.
Audio Content Creation (Radio Format)
The service goes beyond just text by transforming the highlights into radio-like audio content. This is created by converting the text into a script for AI-generated voices, combined with background music. Users can consume this audio during their commute or while working, allowing for an efficient way to stay informed without interruption. Here are some audio sample descriptions:
- - Sales Channel Highlights: A lively and friendly tone that allows for an efficient recap of business communications and progress updates.
- - Casual Chat Channel Highlights: A relaxed tone that provides a comfortable reflection on casual conversations within the office, enhanced with background music from MusMus.
Multi-Channel Distribution
The generated text and audio content can be automatically distributed not just within Slack channels but also through emails and internal portals, catering to various user needs.

The company has been instrumental in supporting the digital transformation (DX) of businesses and governmental bodies.
