Slack Code Taps Into Collective Vibe, Puts AI Agents Into the Group Chat
Slack Code adds project-specific channels where teams and AI agents can write, review and ship software with human approval for risky changes.
- On Thursday, Slack launched Slack Code, a new collaborative environment enabling teams to work with coding agents directly within dedicated, project-based channels.
- Most AI-assisted coding currently occurs in isolated, single-player terminal sessions; Slack aims to shift this dynamic into a multiplayer environment where teams steer output together.
- Agents inherit existing permissions and ACLs from the invoking user; company spokesperson Gianna Dimick said Slack Code requires human sign-off on high-stakes actions like merging code to production.
- Launch partners including Anthropic, Cognition, GitHub, and Vercel are integrated at launch, though Slack has not detailed which plans include access or full agent availability.
- Slack faces competition from Jack Dorsey's Block, which launched Buzz in July, while experts warn that governance of unaligned agents remains a significant long-term challenge.
