Slack launches Slack Code for AI agent collaboration
Slack has introduced Slack Code, a new feature designed to facilitate collaborative software development between human teams and AI agents. The tool allows users to tag coding agents—such as Anthropic’s Claude Code, Cognition’s Devin, or GitHub Copilot—directly within chat conversations to tackle tasks like fixing bugs, adding features, or refactoring code.
When an agent is summoned, it automatically creates a dedicated 'Code Channel.' These channels are built for output and include specialized tabs for conversation, planning, code diffs, and live previews of the work. This environment is intended to be multiplayer, allowing developers, product managers, and designers to review code, provide feedback, and approve changes in real time.
To ensure security, the system requires explicit human approval for sensitive operations, such as deploying code to production or modifying infrastructure. While the Slack Code feature is available across all plans, including free versions, access to the specific AI agents is managed separately by their respective providers. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is slated for integration in the coming months.
