Salesforce introduces Slack Code to bring agentic team coding into the open
Salesforce Inc. today introduced Slack Code, a new way to interact with coding agents in chat, with the whole team in the loop so everyone can see what’s happening at the conversational level.
Coding agents are slowly changing how developers code; they’re also changing how enterprises build software. Salesforce has been pushing the idea that all work is a “multiplayer sport,” a trend wound deeply into the talking points about Slack, the company’s cloud-based messaging app for getting work done – this includes software development.
Now that coding agents are quickly becoming part of the team, both developers and non-expert team members interact with them directly to build apps for the enterprise. It’s becoming more important for them to become part of the conversation and for those conversations to remain visible to everyone involved.
“All this individual work is a solo player sport. The knowledge and the speed at which you’re acting as an individual stays with you as an individual, and you’re not getting an exponential return for the organization,” Slack Chief Marketing Officer Ryan Gavin told SiliconANGLE in an interview.
