Slack launched Slack Code, which creates a dedicated channel whenever someone tags a coding agent so a team can follow the work, review the changed lines, see a live preview and approve it before it ships. It works with agents from Anthropic, Cognition, GitHub, OpenAI and Vercel, and is offered on any Slack plan, but access to each agent must be bought separately. Slack also added labelled agent direct messages and an Agents tab for tracking or stopping agent sessions.
What changed
Work with coding agents happened in private sessions or individual tools outside Slack, visible only to one person.
