I don't understand why Slack hasn't fully implemented LLMs. Imagine as a new comer, you don't understand why a product decision was made 3 years ago. You ask Slack to summarize the conversations on why this choice was made based on messages 3 years ago. How powerful is that?

Slack can probably charge an extra $10/month/user for this.

Slack does have this. Basic AI summaries are included in all paid plans, and AI search and other features are part of the $20/mo plan.
