Slack launches 'Slack Code' with dedicated channels for teams to code with AI agents
Slack has introduced Slack Code, a new feature that lets teams collaborate with AI coding agents in dedicated channels. Available on all Slack plans, users can start a task by tagging an agent, which then creates a temporary code channel for the project. Supported agents include Anthropic's Claude Code, Cognition's Devin, Vercel Agent, and GitHub Copilot.
Inside these channels, team members can follow the agent's work, review code diffs, give feedback, approve changes, and preview outputs such as HTML before deployment. The channels are visible to the relevant team, keeping the coding process and discussion in one shared space.
Once a task is complete, the channel automatically archives while preserving an audit trail of the collaboration. Slack Code also includes a dedicated tab for coding tasks and their history, keeping assignments, reviews, previews, and approvals accessible without moving between separate apps.

I like this direction. Bringing AI coding agents directly into Slack, where the team is already discussing the work, feels much more natural than constantly switching between different tools. I’m curious to see how well it works on real projects.
