Salesforce Brings Channel-Based Collaboration to Code Development with Slack Code
Salesforce has introduced 'Slack Code', a feature that enables teams to call coding agents in Slack and work together on code development. This feature is designed to shift 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.
The feature supports integrating multiple agents, including Anthropic's Claude Code, Vercel v0, Cognition AI's Devin, and OpenAI's ChatGPT. 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.
