Software teams that want coding agents working in plain view inside Slack; the partner agents are bought separately.

Kenning's take

What it does

Slack Code creates temporary code channels where an AI coding agent works on a task while teammates follow along, comment and approve the result. Each channel holds the plan, code changes and a preview, and is archived when the work is done but stays searchable. Slack announced it on 20 August 2026 with agents including Claude, Devin, GitHub Copilot and Vercel's.

• Temporary code channels opened by agents
• Plan, diffs and previews in one place
• Human sign-off before anything ships
• Agents tab to track sessions
• Partner agents include Claude, Devin and GitHub Copilot

Who it suits. Software teams who want to work with coding agents inside Slack, including non-technical colleagues.
