When a user tags a supported coding agent, such as Anthropic’s Claude, Cognition’s Devin, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or a Vercel agent, from any Slack conversation, the new service automatically creates a project-specific code channel for the task, including relevant team members, Katie Steigman, VP of product management at Slack, said in a short video presentation.
The channel can retain relevant context from the conversation and give participants separate views for the agent’s conversation, its plan, code diffs, and the option to review the changes the agent makes, provide feedback and steer, pause or stop the agent if needed, Steigman added.
Once the task is complete, the agent can package the work for human sign-off and, depending on the workflow and agent, open a pull request as well, Steigman further said, adding that the code channel then archives automatically, while retaining the history as a searchable record.
