Overview
- Slack launched Slack Code on Thursday, August 20, 2026, a feature that creates project-specific code channels when a user tags a coding agent.
- Tagged agents such as Anthropic’s Claude, Cognition’s Devin, GitHub Copilot, and Vercel Agent will spin up channels that include user tabs for contributors, side-by-side diff comparisons, and live HTML previews.
- Channels automatically archive when work is complete and keep an audit log to record changes and decisions, and Slack says high-risk actions like merges require human sign-off under its enterprise controls.
- Slack Code is available on all Slack plans and integrates with agents from the Slack Marketplace so teams can pick different vendors inside the same workflow.
- The feature formalizes earlier experiments from Slack, building on a December 2025 research preview and a June 2026 persistent-agent beta, and it signals Slack’s push to expand beyond messaging into developer workflows that could affect Salesforce’s platform strategy.
