Salesforce launched Slack Code, which gives teams dedicated channels where people and coding agents work on a task together. Tagging an agent creates a channel that shows the conversation, the code changes and a live preview, then archives itself when the work is done while keeping a searchable record. It works with agents from Anthropic, Cognition, GitHub, OpenAI and Vercel on any Slack plan, but access to each agent must be bought separately.
What changed
Work with coding agents happened in individual sessions outside Slack, in terminals or browser tabs, invisible to the rest of the team.
What it unlocks
A whole team, including non-engineers, can watch a coding agent work, review the line-by-line changes and a live preview, and approve a change before it ships, without leaving Slack.
