As Slack moves more and more into trying to become a go-to tool for workplace collaboration — especially in the face of competition from Atlassian and other incumbents — it has to first make sure it has the table stakes down. Today, the company is looking to take another step in that direction as it starts rolling out an updated screen sharing feature that allows users to mark up, edit, scroll and work together on a variety of projects they may need to handle. As Slack looks to break the notion that it’s just a Silicon Valley darling, it’s starting to refine the tools over time in order to build up that kind of baseline workplace experience that larger companies have come to expect — just in the very slick, Slack-ish experience. It’s that slicker Slack-ish experience that the company is betting will rip potential customers away from Atlassian and incumbent tools — and also keep them from getting off Slack as they get larger and larger. Atlassian has the benefit of being a publicly-traded company and may have that perception that it’s a known quantity that’ll be more reliable than Slack. The company has tried to build out additional collaborative tools in a very Slack flavor, such as leaning on artificial intelligence to build a smarter search engine to find people to answer questions or get to the right files.
