Slack has launched Slack Code, a new feature that creates dedicated channels for teams to collaborate with AI coding agents like Claude and Devin on building features, updating web pages, and fixing bugs.
The channels keep conversations, code diffs, live previews, and feedback in one place with automatic archiving and audit logs, letting teams work with AI agents as integrated teammates rather than jumping between separate tools.
The feature is available immediately on any Slack plan.
What happened
Slack introduced Slack Code, dedicated channels where teams collaborate with AI agents like Claude and Devin on coding tasks. The channels include features to compare code changes, preview HTML output, and automatically archive upon completion.
Why it matters
Teams can now keep code collaboration and feedback in one place instead of switching between tools, with full visibility and audit logs for every change — making it easier to work with AI agents as integrated team members rather than separate tools.
What to watch
Slack Code is available starting today on any Slack plan and works with agents from founding partners including Claude Code, Devin, Vercel Agent, and GitHub Copilot, which will integrate seamlessly with the code channels.

Slack Code represents a shift in how teams manage AI-assisted development work. Rather than requiring developers to context-switch between Slack conversations and separate coding platforms, the feature consolidates the entire workflow—from task assignment to code review to final approval—within a single channel. This mirrors a broader industry trend of embedding AI agents deeper into existing team workflows; SpaceX's Grok Bot agents pursue a similar strategy of positioning AI as a collaborator rather than an external tool.
The feature's design emphasizes transparency and control: code diffs are visible to all team members, HTML previews allow real-time output validation, and automatic archiving with audit logs address compliance and recordkeeping concerns. By positioning these channels as a native Slack experience available on any plan and supporting multiple AI agents—including leading third-party models like Claude and Devin—Slack is attempting to become the central coordination layer for AI-assisted engineering work, rather than leaving teams to assemble disparate tools.
