Summary
On August 20, 2026, Salesforce launched Slack Code, a Slack-native workflow where teams spin up dedicated channels around a coding task and collaborate with AI coding agents. Mentioning an agent creates a task-scoped code channel that can show code changes, plans, and live HTML previews and pull in teammates to review and approve work before it ships. It supports multiple vendors' agents and is included at no extra cost on all Slack plans.
What changed
Slack added Slack Code: @-mention a coding agent (Anthropic's Claude, Cognition's Devin, GitHub Copilot, or Vercel's agent) to spawn a task-scoped code channel that displays diffs, planning info, and live HTML previews, where engineers, PMs, and designers inspect changes, give feedback, and approve before shipping. Available at no additional cost across Slack subscriptions.
Why it matters
It reframes agentic coding from a private one-on-one developer-agent session into a multi-stakeholder, auditable team activity inside the tool where work already happens, adding human oversight and cross-functional review to agent output. Multi-vendor support positions Slack as a neutral collaboration surface across competing coding agents.
Evidence excerpt
Slack Code gives teams dedicated channels to work with coding agents such as Anthropic's Claude, Cognition's Devin, GitHub's Copilot and Vercel's agent... those channels can display code changes, planning information, and live HTML previews. Team members can inspect proposed changes, provide feedback, and approve work before it ships. Available at no extra cost on all Slack subscriptions.
