Slack is introducing dedicated channels where teams can vibe-code together with AI agents instead of jumping between different tools and conversations. The Slack Code launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped.
“With Slack Code, when you have an idea or need to build a new feature, update a web page, or fix a bug, you simply tag in a coding agent like Anthropic’s Claude or Cognition’s Devin, and that agent then spins up a code channel to tackle the task,” Slack said in its press release. “There, everyone has full visibility to the conversation, can audit code diffs, get live previews of the agent’s output, give feedback, and approve the work before it ships.”
The coding channels are designed to archive themselves automatically upon completion of their dedicated assignments, and provide an audit log for recordkeeping. Slack is pitching this feature as an easy way to work collaboratively with AI agents “like teammates” — a mentality that SpaceXAI is also trying to sell people on with its new Grok Bot agents.
Slack Code is available starting today on any Slack plan. It’ll work with the AI agents available on Slack’s marketplace, and Slack says that agents from its founding partners — including Claude Code, Devin, Vercel Agent, and GitHub Copilot — will “integrate seamlessly” with code channels.
