Real estate professionals nationwide, listen up: if you haven\u2019t already, now is the time to get your Slack on.<\/p>\n

Slack<\/a>, for those not in the know, is the fruit of California-based startups\u2019 labor back in 2013. It takes the best aspects of Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and other productivity-based apps and combines them into a powerful team communication tool for businesses of any size.<\/p>\n

The program boasts features such as real-time messaging, archiving, and a search function, leaving very little to be desired from the veritable workhorse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taking it a step further<\/h2>\n

So how does one make an incredibly efficient productivity tool even more productive?<\/p>\n

\nThe London-based app, Skylar has an answer<\/a>: add a conversational AI to the mix. Like a growing stack of papers on a cluttered desk, the amount of transferable information in Slack can quickly become cumbersome; files get buried, conversations become extensive and, subsequently, unreadable, and you can easily spend just as much time searching for retroactive information as you do processing it.<\/p>\n

Skylar, a sort of Siri dedicated to Slack, fixes this problem by working to consolidate and locate information for you while you direct your attention elsewhere.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Consider Skylar your personal, automated secretary: it does the tedious sorting and reviving for which you just don\u2019t have time\u2014and all for as low as $0\/month.<\/p>\n

Skylar lets you Slack<\/h2>\n

Free\u2019s a pretty hard price to beat, folks.<\/p>\n

Skylar also has the capacity to work outside the confines of Slack\u2014for example, it can send and receive emails, attachments, and files, and then process them directly back into Slack for your convenience\u2014meaning you can stay productive without breaking your in-Slack focus. Skylar\u2019s freedom outside of Slack even allows it to perform functions such as ordering food\u2014then sending you the bill so you can pay, all while staying in Slack\u2014reserving coworking space, and calling an Uber driver.<\/p>\n

Simply put, Skylar lets you Slack without slacking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Skylar\u2019s pricing ranges from the aforementioned free package to a $15\/month unlimited plan that promises to \u201cscale infinitely for any company.\u201d The free plan still includes basic functionality\u2014100 requests per day, a service plug-in, and the like\u2014whereas the $5\/month midrange plan offers exponentially more requests and service plug-ins, and unlimited expense reports.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: if your business runs on Slack, spring for whatever Skylar plan your budget can afford. You\u2019ll make that monthly bill back in a day purely from a productivity standpoint, and you\u2019ll probably spend infinitely less time perusing your archives.<\/p>\n
