Slack is launching collaborative vibe-coding channels
TL;DR
Slack is introducing dedicated channels where teams can vibe-code together with AI agents instead of jumping between different tools and conversations. The Slack Code launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped.
Nauti's Take
The upside is practical: when agent runs are visible in the channel, the whole team sees what changed and status rounds fall away. The catch is permissions and change provenance, because visibility is no substitute for code review.
Small teams should try it on one real, tightly scoped ticket and measure whether questions actually drop.
Summary
Slack is introducing dedicated channels where teams can vibe-code together with AI agents instead of jumping between different tools and conversations. The Slack Code launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped.
"With Slack Code, when you have an idea or need to build a new feature, update a web page, or fix a bug, you simply tag in a coding agent like Anthropic's Claude or Cognition's Devin, and that agent then spins up a code channel to tackle the task," Slack said in its press release.
