Slack launches Slack Code to bring AI coding agents into shared channels
Slack announced Slack Code, a new product that lets teams invoke AI coding agents inside dedicated Slack channels where work happens in view of collaborators. At launch, the product supports partner agents including Anthropic's Claude Code, Cognition's Devin, GitHub Copilot, and Vercel's agent, with features such as visible plans, code diffs, live previews, and archived audit trails. Slack Code is available on Slack plans, while customers must bring their own access to the partner agents.
Why it matters: The launch pushes AI coding from mostly one-user, one-agent workflows into a collaborative communications layer used by large organizations. If teams adopt this model, Slack could become an orchestration surface for software agents and gain a stronger role in enterprise developer workflows without building its own coding model.
