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.

Comments
Salesforce has paid some random analysts firm to create a multi-page report on how coding agents on Slack would be useful, and that's its conclusion :
"Slack Code enables AI to move beyond individual copilots to embedded, contextual AI orchestration to deliver real AI ROI at scale."
So, if you can understand what this sentence means, you surely do have to use Slack Code (certainly because you work in sales). Otherwise, just use another one of the trillion chat apps that is not owned by a company willing to impose AI on every bit of functionality just because this same company struggles to get any "real AI ROI at scale".
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.
