Ask HN: What does Slack do with all the users data?
3 points by koolhead17 on March 26, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Slack provides free limited service, what do they do with the data that gets added by users?


They most likely have some ML/AI algos in prototype stage (which is all the rage these days) that is processing all the messages, apart from informing their internal analytics as well as weekly analytics emails they send. They have less to gain from sharing message-data with third parties - this would be giving up control of their most precious component.
