Slack launches collaborative "vibe-coding" channels with AI agents
Slack Code introduces dedicated channels where teams can tag in coding agents like Claude or Cognition's Devin to build features, fix bugs, or update pages together. The channels include diff comparisons and HTML previews before changes ship.
Why it matters: This pushes agentic coding out of standalone IDEs and CLIs into everyday team chat, following a broader trend of embedding AI agents directly into collaboration tools. It signals that "where you code" is becoming contested territory between IDE vendors, chat platforms, and agent providers.
