[Forrester](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0003gfb/forrester) debuted its Forrester AI app for [Slack](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000bk2/slack) at its Technology & Innovation Forum East on November 4, 2026, letting license holders add research-backed answers to channels, threads, and direct messages. [Business Wire](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261104981941/en/) said the app is the only Slack integration offered by a research and advisory firm.

## How the Forrester AI Slack App Works

A Forrester license holder adds the app to a Slack conversation, and the app can draw on recent conversation history to give a more contextual response. Everyone in that conversation can then view the Forrester AI answer, according to Business Wire. License holders install the app through the Slack Marketplace and connect their Forrester accounts; organizations that are not Forrester clients can request a demo. [TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/news/business_wire:64c8c2de1e0ff:0-forrester-unveils-new-integration-with-slack-at-its-technology-innovation-forum-east/) also lists Slack, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Claude as the platforms where the app is available.

Carrie Johnson, Forrester chief product officer, said the company has spent the year embedding its research in the platforms where enterprises already work. "Forrester AI combines the speed of AI, the objectivity of our proprietary research, and the judgment of our analysts to help clients address both their most consequential challenges as well as in-the-moment questions," Johnson said. Forrester AI launched in 2023 as the firm's first generative AI experience.

## Forrester's Microsoft and Research Rollouts

According to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Forrester announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft in April 2026 to embed its research within Microsoft 365 Copilot, with planned expansion to additional LLMs via Model Context Protocol connectors. The same records show the Microsoft 365 Copilot agent was available at no additional cost for existing Forrester Decisions, Market Insights, and AI Access license holders. Forrester introduced its AEGIS Framework for Agentic AI Security in May 2026, comprising 39 controls across six domains mapped to NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, EU AI Act, and MITRE ATLAS standards.

## Forrester's Earlier 2026 Launches

Forrester introduced its Employee Experience Index in June 2026, analyzing sentiment data from 500,000 employees across 3,000 organizations in 11 countries, according to akta.pro company records. In October 2026, Forrester published its Q4 2026 AppGen Wave, which found the market had shifted from low-code development to governing and operating AI-generated applications, [Forrester](http://www.forrester.com) said. Forrester also introduced its 2026 Human Risk Management Solutions Landscape in October 2026, marking a shift from security awareness and training to managing human-related breaches.
