Slack has launched Slack Code, embedding AI coding agents directly into group channels so teams can collaborate on software development in real time.
The feature works with Claude Code, Devin, GitHub Copilot, and Vercel's agent, making previously invisible one-on-one AI work visible and searchable across the team.
What happened
Salesforce's Slack announced Slack Code, a product that integrates AI coding agents—including Anthropic's Claude Code, Cognition's Devin, GitHub Copilot, and Vercel's agent—directly into dedicated Slack channels so teams can watch, steer, review, and ship software together. The feature is available on any Slack plan at launch, though users need their own access to the partner agents.
Why it matters
AI coding work today typically happens one-on-one between a person and an agent, invisible to the rest of the team. Slack Code converts that into "multiplayer" work, allowing entire teams to see code diffs, live previews, and running plans in real time, then search the archived audit trail afterward.
What to watch
When someone tags a coding agent from any conversation, the agent creates a project-specific code channel, performs the work transparently with dedicated tabs for code, previews, and planning, and archives the channel when finished—leaving a searchable record for the team.

Slack Code addresses a fundamental friction in how teams currently adopt AI coding agents. Today, when one engineer uses an agent like Claude Code or Devin to write or debug code, that work remains private—invisible to peers, managers, and future team members who might need to understand or reuse that code. The approach mirrors Slack's broader philosophy of making work visible and collaborative rather than siloed. By embedding agents directly into shared channels with built-in tabs for code diffs, live previews, and planning notes, Slack reduces the friction for teams to adopt these tools without forcing engineers to switch between the agent's native interface (often a terminal or IDE) and their group chat. The requirement that customers bring their own agent access means Slack is not competing directly with Anthropic, Cognition, or GitHub—instead, it is positioning itself as the orchestration layer where that AI work becomes team property.
