When a person tags a supported coding agent, reminiscent of Anthropic’s Claude, Cognition’s Devin, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or a Vercel agent, from any Slack dialog, the brand new service mechanically creates a project-specific code channel for the duty, together with related group members, Katie Steigman, VP of product administration at Slack, mentioned in a brief video presentation.
The channel can retain related context from the dialog and provides members separate views for the agent’s dialog, its plan, code diffs, and the choice to evaluate the modifications the agent makes, present suggestions and steer, pause or cease the agent if wanted, Steigman added.
Once the duty is full, the agent can package deal the work for human sign-off and, relying on the workflow and agent, open a pull request as nicely, Steigman additional mentioned, including that the code channel then archives mechanically, whereas retaining the historical past as a searchable file.
