Partners handle OAuth, app configuration, and permission scoping during setup inside their own tool, while the agent's runtime stays outside Slack. Installed agents inherit workspace data boundaries, app-approval policies, and OAuth scopes, and appear in Slack's App browser. NanoClaw demonstrates the model by acting as a manager app that spins up a separate managed Slack app and bot for each agent it creates, letting users tag agents individually. The feature is distinct from Slack Code, a separate new feature that creates temporary project channels for coding agents to present plans, diffs, and previews before archiving. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How does Slack's Add to Slack feature simplify installing third-party AI agents? Add to Slack lets users install agents built with ten partner platforms directly into a workspace by starting the process inside the partner tool, which then handles OAuth, app configuration, and permission scoping automatically. This replaces the previous process of manually creating a custom Slack app and clicking through settings. Launch partners include Hyperagent, LangChain, Lovable, n8n, NanoClaw, OpenAI, Runlayer, Skydive, Superhuman, and Vercel. _Developers wiring agents into Slack can track platform updates like this one on daily.dev._ ### What is the difference between Slack's Add to Slack and Slack Code features? Add to Slack installs a third-party agent as a Slack app with inherited workspace permissions, while Slack Code creates temporary project channels where supported coding agents present plans, diffs, pull request details, and live previews before the channel is archived. Both launched the same day but serve different purposes: one is installation, the other structures coding agent workflows after installation. _Teams evaluating agent tooling in Slack can follow how these features evolve via daily.dev._ ### How does NanoClaw create separate Slack bots for each AI agent it manages? NanoClaw's Marketplace app acts as a manager app with permission to create a distinct managed Slack app for every agent it spins up, each with its own WebSocket connection. This means every agent gets tagged and addressed natively as its own bot, rather than sharing a single generic integration, and NanoClaw's host routes messages to the corresponding agent. _Builders experimenting with multi-agent Slack setups can keep up with frameworks like NanoClaw on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [New in Fleet: Deploy AI agents to Slack in one click](https://daily.dev/posts/new-in-fleet-deploy-ai-agents-to-slack-in-one-click-4bn25lw0a) · LangChain · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [NanoClaw can stuff each AI agent into its own Docker container to deal with OpenClaw’s security mess](https://daily.dev/posts/nanoclaw-can-stuff-each-ai-agent-into-its-own-docker-container-to-deal-with-openclaw-s-security-mess-9x9jdczn3) · The New Stack · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [AI Agents at work: real-time platform insights in Slack](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-agents-at-work-real-time-platform-insights-in-slack-as53pzdrz) · monday Engineering · 17 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#oauth](https://daily.dev/tags/oauth), [#langchain](https://daily.dev/tags/langchain), [#slack](https://daily.dev/tags/slack) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/slack-makes-it-easier-to-install-agents-built-with-third-party-tools-crjnwol5a) ```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 makes it easier to install agents built with third-party tools","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/slack-makes-it-easier-to-install-agents-built-with-third-party-tools-crjnwol5a","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/slack-makes-it-easier-to-install-agents-built-with-third-party-tools-crjnwol5a"},"datePublished":"2026-08-20T18:42:51.860Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T08:21:28.012Z","description":"Slack launched Add to Slack, a feature that lets users install agents built on ten partner platforms — including LangChain, OpenAI, n8n, Lovable, Vercel, and...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/e125658964a8960396ddbb7eb0e7f35b?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/e125658964a8960396ddbb7eb0e7f35b?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The New Stack","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 New Stack","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/newstack","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/newstack"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/slack-makes-it-easier-to-install-agents-built-with-third-party-tools-crjnwol5a","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"ai-agents,oauth,langchain,slack","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The New Stack","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/newstack"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Slack makes it easier to install agents built with third-party tools"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/slack-makes-it-easier-to-install-agents-built-with-third-party-tools-crjnwol5a#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How does Slack's Add to Slack feature simplify installing third-party AI agents?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Add to Slack lets users install agents built with ten partner platforms directly into a workspace by starting the process inside the partner tool, which then handles OAuth, app configuration, and permission scoping automatically.
