Slack Code Brings Teams and AI Agents Together (Full Transcript)

[00:00:05] Speaker 1: Hey, I'm Katie, and I work on the core product team at Slack. And today I'm really excited to tell you about the launch of Slack Code, with purpose-built spaces for teams and AI agents to build together directly in Slack. In Slack, agents are working with us just like teammates in channels. If I need help, I can tag in a coding agent like Claude without having to leave Slack. I'll ask it to update our website with the latest designs. But instead of having the agent in a regular channel, Slack does something new. It spins up a dedicated code channel for this. And that channel has the right teammates and the right context from our previous conversations, and that allows the agent to get to work. This isn't your traditional coding experience with one person and one agent working in a silo on their own. In the code channel, the whole team and the agent work together on the build. There's no specialized tools needed, and it's all right here in Slack. That means that developers can review code diffs, and the team steers the agent together. It's a whole new way to work in a true multiplayer experience. The entire team is in the same place, working with the same agent on the same task. So I can tag Akshay in to help direct the agent. And then we can check out the HTML artifact in Slack to see what the agent is building in real time. We get a preview without needing to copy-paste, refresh, or update any code. Nobody's out of the loop. Nobody needs an extra meeting. Work just feels more efficient. And you can configure this whole process to scale with your team based on your agents. The agent opens the PR, posts a summary back to our main channel, and then cleanly archives the code channel. We've gotten to a finished product, ready to ship, faster than ever, because the entire build from idea to production now happens here in Slack. And the way that we think about it with code channels, anyone and everyone can become a builder working together with agents. The best organizations want to build in the open in Slack. And now with code channels, we've made that seamless and instantly scalable across your entire organization to make everyone a builder.
