What Spoke was

Spoke.ai helped teams reduce Slack overload with scheduled channel summaries, action-item extraction, channel-history questions and shortcuts into connected workflows. In July 2024, the founders announced that the Spoke team had joined Salesforce to support Slack AI. The standalone product is no longer presented for new adoption, so this page is retained as a historical record and points buyers to current Slack-native options.

Why this listing is historical

Spoke's old terms described the software as free, but there is no current standalone Spoke plan to purchase. Buyers should price the supported successor they choose.

  • The standalone product is no longer positioned for new customers.
  • Historical feature and security claims should not be treated as a current service commitment.
  • Old installation or pricing references may no longer function.
