Slack is introducing Slack Code, dedicated channels where teams work alongside coding agents such as Claude Code, Devin, Vercel Agent, and GitHub Copilot. The feature is available on every Slack plan, provided that access to the agents has been arranged separately.
The idea: each project gets its own channel where people and agents collaborate openly. When someone tags a coding agent in any conversation, the agent automatically creates a code channel for the task. Once the work is done, the channel archives itself, while the history is preserved as an audit log. Within that channel, separate tabs show the conversation, the plan, the code diffs (showing exactly what has changed), and live previews of HTML output.
Code reviews, which normally take place in a separate tool, are thus made available to everyone in the channel. Even non-technical colleagues can view the process, pause the agent, make adjustments, or stop it.
Slack Code is launching with four founding partners: Claude Code from Anthropic, Devin from Cognition, the Vercel agent, and GitHub Copilot. The underlying code channel APIs will later be opened up to the broader developer community. Slack explicitly mentions non-technical use cases, such as a marketing team building a campaign or a legal department reviewing documents.
Agents as colleagues
In addition to Slack Code, the platform offers more agent-based AI functionality. Agent DMs now have clear labels and threads with actual titles. A new Agents tab aggregates all sessions, where users can check status, name a conversation, or stop an agent mid-task. With “Add to Slack,” organizations can roll out agents from providers including Lovable, Airtable, n8n, OpenAI, and LangChain in just a few clicks, without manual OAuth or manifest configuration.
Agents in code channels inherit Slack’s existing security model and admin permissions. For high-risk actions, such as pushing code to production, a channel expert must approve the action.
