Founding partner agents include Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Devin (Cognition), GitHub Copilot, and Vercel, despite earlier internal tension over Anthropic's presence competing with Salesforce's own Agentforce. High-stakes actions like merging to production require human sign-off, and any channel member can pause or kill an agent mid-task, addressing past incidents of agents wiping codebases. Slack charges nothing for the channels themselves; agent vendors charge separately for usage, and the feature ships free on any plan today. Slack is pitching this to non-engineers too, letting product managers or others trigger fixes without an engineer picking up the task first, and plans to open the code channel APIs so custom agents can join channels for other functions like marketing or legal review. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Slack Code and how does it work? Slack Code is a Slack feature that creates dedicated project channels where teams and AI coding agents write, review, and ship software together. Tagging an agent from any conversation spins up a channel with tabs for the conversation, plan, code diffs, and a live preview; the channel archives into an audit log once the task ends. It launched available on any Slack plan. _Teams weighing chat-based AI coding workflows can track how tools like this evolve on daily.dev._ ### Which AI coding agents are founding partners for Slack Code? Slack Code launched with agents from Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (ChatGPT), Cognition (Devin), GitHub (Copilot), and Vercel as founding partners. Access to each partner agent is a separate purchase from the agent vendor, since Slack itself charges nothing for the channels. Custom agents built on tools like Lovable, n8n, LangChain, and Superhuman can also be added via a separate flow. _Developers comparing coding agent ecosystems can keep tabs on partner lineups like this via daily.dev._ ### How does Slack Code prevent AI agents from making risky changes without oversight? Slack Code requires human sign-off before any agent-generated code merges to production, packaging the work for an expert to approve inside the channel. Agents inherit Slack's existing permissions and admin controls rather than getting new identities, and any channel member can pause, redirect, or stop an agent mid-task, with a dedicated Agents tab offering the same kill switch across sessions. _Engineers setting guardrails for AI-generated code changes can follow safety patterns like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Slack makes it easier to install agents built with third-party tools](https://daily.dev/posts/slack-makes-it-easier-to-install-agents-built-with-third-party-tools-crjnwol5a) · The New Stack · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Salesforce employees are confused about why the company is promoting a competitor inside Slack](https://daily.dev/posts/salesforce-employees-are-confused-about-why-the-company-is-promoting-a-competitor-inside-slack-zn8pqmyct) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude), [#slack](https://daily.dev/tags/slack), [#vibe-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/vibe-coding) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/slack-launches-slack-code-where-teams-and-ai-agents-build-together-gg63hunqd) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Slack launches Slack Code, where teams and AI agents build together","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/slack-launches-slack-code-where-teams-and-ai-agents-build-together-gg63hunqd","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/slack-launches-slack-code-where-teams-and-ai-agents-build-together-gg63hunqd"},"datePublished":"2026-08-20T15:51:24.035Z","dateModified":"2026-08-21T04:21:01.146Z","description":"Slack has launched Slack Code, a product adding project-specific channels where teams and AI coding agents write, review, and ship software together inside the...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/cd2884f989cf0474f5d3127cf60aef84?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/cd2884f989cf0474f5d3127cf60aef84?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/slack-launches-slack-code-where-teams-and-ai-agents-build-together-gg63hunqd","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"github,ai-agents,claude,slack,vibe-coding","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Slack launches Slack Code, where teams and AI agents build together"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/slack-launches-slack-code-where-teams-and-ai-agents-build-together-gg63hunqd#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is Slack Code and how does it work?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Slack Code is a Slack feature that creates dedicated project channels where teams and AI coding agents write, review, and ship software together.
