  "account": "Slack has introduced Slack Code, a new feature that allows teams to collaborate with AI coding agents in dedicated, project-specific channels. Available on all Slack plans, this feature aims to streamline collaboration by providing a single space for coding tasks, rather than switching between various tools and conversations.\n\nSlack Code enables teams to work alongside coding agents such as Anthropic's Claude or Cognition's Devin within these dedicated channels. These agents can create a code channel to handle tasks like building features, updating web pages, or fixing bugs. The channel provides real-time previews of the agent's output, live feedback, and an audit log for record-keeping. Once the task is completed, the channel automatically archives itself.\n\nSlack is positioning this feature as a way for teams to collaborate with AI agents \"like teammates\". The integration will work with agents available on Slack's marketplace, including Claude Code, Devin, Vercel Agent, and GitHub Copilot, which are from Slack's founding partners.",
