10 Best AI Collaboration Tools

Perplexity Projects gives teammates a shared research workspace. Perplexity Enterprise opens Projects to the whole organisation, with up to 9,999 contributors, permission-aware context from Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, and Notion, and admin control over sharing and access. And Comet, the AI browser, handles browsing tasks, like searches, form fills, or multi-step workflows. Together, they give you a mighty AI research collaboration platform.

But this article isn't about Perplexity. It covers ten other established AI collaboration software tools: Slack, Loom, Confluence, Airtable, Notion, ClickUp, Asana, Monday.com, Trello, and Miro.

For each tool, we explain what it does and who it serves, the AI capabilities it includes, the concrete team problem it solves, and which pricing tier includes the AI features.

Top AI Collaboration Tools: An Overview

If you're short on time, here's a snapshot of each tool's primary use cases and key AI capabilities.

10 AI-Powered Tools For Remote Collaboration

Slack

Slack is a communication platform that helps dispersed teams communicate effectively via instant group and direct messages, and audio and video calls, called Huddles. Workspaces are organised into channels, and conversations into threads.

Expand

Slack integrates with project management, cloud storage, productivity, and office tools, which allows teams to pull context from other tools into the conversation without switching apps.

Slack AI, bundled into every paid plan, gives you:

• Channel and thread recaps
• AI search across messages and connected apps
• Huddle notes (automatically generated meeting transcripts, summaries, and action items)
• Slackbot personal AI agent (prepares meeting briefs, analyses shared reports, and drafts project briefs in the user's tone)
• Agentforce in Slack (Salesforce agents inside channels and threads)

Pricing (AI-tier gate):

• Pro (from $7.25/user/mo) includes Basic AI.
• Business+ ($15/user/mo annual) adds the Slackbot personal agent.
• Enterprise+ adds Enterprise Search across connected apps.

Loom

Loom is an async video-messaging tool used by teams for quick project updates — or instead of meetings when the team is spread across different time zones.

Expand

Loom was acquired by Atlassian in 2023, so no surprise it integrates tightly with its other tools, like Jira, as well as Slack, Gmail, Salesforce, Calendly, and more.

Loom AI gives you:

• AI workflows (turn a video into a document, a Jira or Linear ticket, or a written message)
• Auto titles, summaries, and chapters (viewers can skim before deciding to watch)
• Filler and silence removal (cleaner recordings without post-production)
• Auto meeting notes and recap emails (automatic meeting summaries)
• Edit by transcript (trim a video by editing its text)

The full Loom AI suite is gated to Business + AI ($24/user/mo) and Enterprise plans. Base Business includes live titles and auto CTAs, and the free Starter plan only auto-titles.

Expand

Confluence

Atlassian's Confluence is a platform for engineering, product, and IT teams to write and store documentation as pages organised into spaces.

Expand

It connects to Jira, Slack, and other Atlassian and third-party apps through the Teamwork Graph, Atlassian's knowledge index.

Atlassian's AI layer is called Rovo, and it offers:

• Rovo Chat (answers questions based on the content of Confluence pages, linked Jira tickets, and third-party app context)
• Rovo Search (works across Confluence, Jira, Slack, and connected apps)
• Meeting Insights Reporter (lets you ask what was decided or assigned in a meeting you missed and get instant answers)
• AI drafting
• MCP server and CLI (lets external AI clients query page and ticket context)

Rovo is available on Confluence Standard ($5.42/user/mo), Premium ($10.44/user/mo), and Enterprise Cloud plans.

Airtable

Airtable is a structured-data platform that blends spreadsheet-style tables with app-building tools, used by ops, marketing, and product teams to centralise their knowledge bases and automate processes.

Expand

Airtable integrations include most of the tools you already have in your tech stack, like Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft Outlook, Jira, or Miro. And thanks to the MCP, you can hook it up to Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI clients.

Airtable's AI features include:

• Omni (a conversational AI app builder that generates tables, interfaces, and automations)

Notion

Notion is a highly customisable knowledge management platform that uses relational databases to store and connect your pages, documents, and dashboards. You can organise and view them as calendar entries, grids, checklists, or cards in Kanban boards.

Expand

It connects to Slack, Google Drive, and other external apps, and feeds that context into Notion's search and agents.

Notion AI is built into every tool aspect and gives you:

• Notion Agent (a chat-driven agent that creates and edits pages and databases using context from the workspace and connected apps)
• Custom Agents (automations that handle recurring work for the whole team, like answering questions on Slack, routing tasks, or sharing updates)

ClickUp

ClickUp is a work collaboration and project management platform that bundles tasks, docs, chat, and whiteboards into one tool.

Expand

It connects to Google Drive, GitHub, Salesforce, and dozens of other apps, and supports the MCP, so external AI clients can read from and act on ClickUp data.

ClickUp's AI, Brain², gives you:

• Deep Search (checks tasks, docs, connected apps, and the web to answer questions)

Brain² has a free plan, and paid plans start at $9 per user per month. To use Notetaker, AI Fields, Automations, and Super Agents, you need the "Everything AI" plan for $28 per user per month. Mind you, that's on top of your regular ClickUp subscription.

Find The Tool For The Problem, But Don't Stop There

Identifying the problem that's costing your team the most time and energy, and finding an AI tool that solves it is a good starting point when designing your tech stack.

If communication is an issue, Slack and Loom will help. If project tracking and reporting are the challenge, have a look at Asana, Trello, ClickUp, or Monday.com. If your teams work in silos, use Notion, Confluence, or Airtable to build shared knowledge bases that act as a single source of truth.

However, AI benefits go beyond solving the known problems. As AI platforms get more potent and perform tasks we never thought possible, true competitive advantage will come from constantly exploring and adopting new capabilities that amplify your teams' productivity and efficiency.

FAQs

What Are AI Collaboration Tools?

AI collaboration tools are software platforms that use AI features to simplify and automate tasks that otherwise would be performed by people, for example, data entry, note-taking, or summarisation. By relieving teams of manual tasks and allowing them to share information, they help remote teams collaborate effectively.

Which AI Collaboration Tools Use Which Large Language Models?

ClickUp lets you pick between GPT, Claude Opus, and Gemini. Airtable, Asana, Notion, and monday.com all use OpenAI and Anthropic models. Asana and monday.com add Google Gemini, and Airtable adds Meta Llama. Atlassian (Confluence and Trello) lists OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open models like Llama and Gemma. Miro names the exact model behind each feature.

Slack says only that it uses third-party LLMs hosted in its own cloud.

Do AI Collaboration Tools Train on My Team's Data?

Major AI collaboration vendors don't train their models on team data, but how they implement safeguards varies. Slack hosts its AI inside its own cloud so providers never see customer data, and Airtable offers Amazon Bedrock for the same reason. Loom sends only transcript text to OpenAI, never full video or audio.

What Is Perplexity Projects and How Do Teams Use It?

Perplexity Projects (formerly Spaces) is a shared workspace for ongoing research. Teammates ask questions together, add files and links as context, and keep the thread visible to the whole team for later reference.

Teams use it for competitive research, market monitoring, and product-decision briefs, or anything that benefits from shared, iterated research rather than one-off queries.
