[DigitalToday reporter Chi-gyu Hwang (황치규)] Salesforce has launched 'Slack Code', which lets teams call coding agents in Slack to work together and share results. SiliconANGLE reported on Aug. 20 that the feature supports interacting with a coding agent inside chat and enables an entire team to review generated code and change histories in the same context.

Slack Code focuses on shifting coding work from individual terminals and agent-centered workflows to channel-based collaboration. When a team member calls a coding agent in a channel, a separate code channel opens and an agent workspace is created to solve the problem. Outputs are displayed on Canvas, and it also provides diffs before and after code changes and runnable previews.

Salesforce integrates multiple agents, including Anthropic's Claude Code, Vercel v0, Cognition AI's Devin and OpenAI's ChatGPT. Slack Code is available on all Slack plans. Separate access permissions are required for the agent a user wants to use, and it also supports extensions that connect to external agents through an application programming interface.

Salesforce says that as coding agents rapidly become part of teams, not only developers but also non-developers are increasingly participating directly in app development. It explained that this has made it important for everyone to be able to see related conversations and work processes.

Slack Code is also characterised by conversations and outputs remaining in Slack. Agent outputs, links to GitHub repositories, Canvas and the work context are preserved so teams can review the subsequent work path later.
