Which AI coding agents work with Slack Code today?

Slack Code is live for teams already using the Claude (Anthropic), Devin (Cognition), GitHub Copilot and Vercel integrations. Slack says ChatGPT by OpenAI is coming soon. You start a code channel by mentioning one of those agents in an existing conversation, so the agent you already use in Slack is the one that opens the channel.

Does Slack Code cost extra?

Slack's announcement of Slack Code does not list a price, a separate add-on, or a plan requirement, so anything about cost would be a guess. What the post does say is that Slack Code is live today for teams that already have the supported agent integrations connected to their workspace.

Can someone approve an agent's changes before they ship?

Yes. Slack Code routes high-stakes changes to a person for approval inside the channel, in Slack's words "right in the channel". Teammates read the same conversation the agent is working from, watch code diffs appear, view a live preview of the output, and leave feedback the agent folds into the next attempt before anything is merged.

What happens to a code channel after the work is finished?

A Slack Code channel archives itself when the assignment completes, so, as Slack puts it, "nothing sprawls, but everything stays searchable". The archived channel remains a searchable record of the prompt, the agent's tool runs and the artifacts it produced. Slack reports that over 70% of code channels open and close within a single day.

How is this different from using a coding agent in a private chat?

A private agent chat is visible to one person, so review happens after the fact. Slack Code moves the same work into a channel where the plan, the diffs and the preview each get their own tab and every teammate sees them as they happen. The point is that a review and an approval step live where the work does.

Slack Code — AI coding agents get a channel the whole team can watch

Slack Code turns a coding agent's work into a shared Slack channel with tabs for the plan, the code diffs and a live preview. Claude, Devin, GitHub Copilot and Vercel work at launch; ChatGPT is coming soon.

Slack Code gives a coding agent its own project channel, so planning, diffs and sign-off all happen in front of the team.

What is it?

Mention a coding agent in Slack and Slack Code now spins up a dedicated code channel for that job. The channel pulls in the people who need to be there and splits the work across tabs: the conversation, the plan, the code diffs, and a live preview of what the agent built. Slack describes it as a place where "your team and its agents can plan, write, and review together".

How does it work?

Instead of rendering agent output as walls of text, code channels show diffs and previews as first-class surfaces. Changes flagged as high-stakes get routed to a named person for approval before they land. When the assignment is done the channel archives itself and stays searchable, keeping a record of the prompts, the agent's tool runs and the artifacts. Authentication and permissions ride on the existing Slack integration for whichever agent was tagged.

Why does it matter?

Coding agents have mostly run in a private browser tab, so teammates only see the result once a pull request lands. Putting the run in a channel makes the intermediate work reviewable while it is still cheap to redirect, and it leaves an audit trail managers and security teams can search later. Slack reports that over 70% of code channels open and close within a single day, from idea to merged PR.
