Butter.ai Launches First AI Slack App That Saves Seven Minutes Per Document Search

"With the average enterprise now having over 1000 cloud apps, searching for your documents is costing companies thousands of dollars per day in lost productivity," said Jack Hirsch, CEO and co-founder of Butter.ai. "Knowledge workers are wasting up to $30,000 in time each year searching for documents and information across cloud apps. We're solving a common work dilemma elegantly and securely."

In an era of constant disruption and information overload, the problem will only grow worse. Google Drive now hosts more than 2 trillion files, and 500 million users on Dropbox are uploading 1.2 billion files daily.

The current alternatives to Butter.ai can be as disruptive as physically tapping someone on the shoulder or messaging them on Slack, interrupting valuable team workflow. "Our research shows that the cost of a single disruption is at least seven minutes of work time, once the total work distraction is accounted for. What should be a simple action is sending ripples across an enterprise. The financial costs add up quickly and nobody's paying attention," Hirsch said.

To end this problem, teams can install Butter.ai on Slack starting today, where it serves as an always-available bot assistant that uses natural language processing and machine learning to find what you're looking for across your work apps. For instance, if you need to find the latest copy of your logo, you could ask, "Where's our latest logo for print?" The bot would instantly find the correct version.

Butter.ai integrates with Google Drive, GMail, Confluence, Dropbox, Evernote, Trello and Slack. When relevant files are found, Butter.ai can facilitate file access if the permissions are not already in place. To ensure the privacy of its users, Butter.ai is HIPAA compliant at launch.

"Before Butter, I spent too much time tracking things down," said Reed Boehringer, a marketing operations analyst at Flexport, a company that helps businesses organize their shipping efforts.  "Simple tasks, like locating the correct folder in Google Drive or finding the most up-to-date policy details in Confluence, was unnecessarily difficult. With Butter, I no longer need to bug my colleagues on Slack with banal questions. Butter.ai enables me to spend my time more effectively.  The more I use it, the better it gets."

For teams under 20 people, the time-saving app is $4.99 per user per month, with a free trial. The company also offers an enterprise version for larger teams. Try Butter.ai today by visiting http://butter.ai.
