Slack Unleashes AI Agents for Collaborative Coding

Slack has launched Slack Code, a new feature that integrates AI agents directly into team workflows. This allows developers to create dedicated channels for collaborative coding with AI, eliminating the need to switch between various applications. Users can invoke AI agents like Anthropic's Claude or Cognition's Devin to spin up a code channel for specific tasks such as building features or fixing bugs.

Within these code channels, all team members gain complete visibility into the ongoing conversation, can audit code changes, and preview the agent's output in real-time. This process facilitates feedback and approval before the code is finalized. Upon task completion, these channels automatically archive themselves, providing a record of the work done. Slack Code is available now on all Slack plans and integrates seamlessly with various AI agents from its marketplace and founding partners.
