Slack Release Notes

Work object embeds let you open, review, and edit live content from your apps and agents into the conversation.

By the team at Slack

Most of us know the routine. Someone shares a link, you open a new tab and log in, and by the time you find what you need, you’ve lost the thread. The conversation happened in Slack, but the content behind it lives somewhere else.

Today, we’re launching Work Object Embeds in Slack. When someone shares a link from a supported app or agent, it opens as live, interactive content right inside Slack, within the thread. You can edit a Box note, explore an Amplitude dashboard, or review a Confluence page without leaving the conversation, so feedback stays with the people who need it. The same experience works across desktop, web, and mobile.

Embeds follow the access people already have. They use your existing authentication, so people see only what they’re allowed to see. Slack vets every partner app, and admins choose who gets embeds, across the whole org or by workspace. That makes it easy to start small and expand when you’re ready.

For the apps your team already pays for, embeds mean more people use them, because the content shows up where the work is already happening.

“Nobody wants to leave a conversation to go pull something up in another tab. With Work Object Embeds, your apps show up right in Slack, fully interactive, and still under the controls your IT team already trusts.”

Angela Kirchhof
VP, Product Management, Slack

New interactive apps and agents on Slack

Six launch partners are bringing their live experiences into Slack today, each built for a different kind of work: creating and reviewing decks, managing content, analyzing data, handling legal requests and tracking projects. Here is what each one makes possible for your teams.

Amplitude: decide with the data in front of you

Amplitude is a digital analytics platform that helps teams understand product and customer behavior. Now you can share an Amplitude chart or dashboard link and it unfurls into a rich preview. Click to open the full view in a panel beside the thread. Hover over data points for exact values and scroll through every chart. Anyone can tag Amplitude in with follow-up questions, even if they haven’t used it before. Product and business leaders can discuss a metric and act on it in the same place.

Atlassian: create and preview Confluence pages without leaving Slack

Atlassian Rovo can now use Work Object Embeds to bring Confluence pages into the conversation as interactive previews.

Great ideas lose steam when they live in another tab. Atlassian Rovo now uses Work Object Embeds to turn Confluence pages into interactive previews inside Slack, so teams can spin up and preview documentation in seconds, right alongside the discussion that sparked it. No more jumping between tools to capture what matters.

Box: open, edit and watch content right in the thread

Box is a secure, intelligent content management platform for sharing, governing and collaborating on files, notes and knowledge hubs. Now, your team’s content lives right in the conversation. Play videos, edit Box Notes, and browse and edit Box Hubs without leaving the thread. Box permissions travel with the content, so people only see and edit what they already have access to in Box.

Gamma: review and create decks in the thread

Gamma is an agentic visual communication platform for creating presentations, documents, images, and more. You can paste a Gamma link and it opens as a live deck. Click through the slides, go full screen, or @mention Gamma to build something new. Feedback stays within the thread, so you never have to ask “can you resend the latest version?”

Polly: moderate Q&A and watch live poll results without leaving Slack – (coming soon)

Polly makes it easy to run polls and Q&As in Slack. Now, Q&A moderation and live poll results happen right where the conversation does. When someone runs a Q&A, Polly sends them a DM with incoming questions. They can review submissions, approve the best ones to surface and mark questions answered as the conversation unfolds. Running a poll? Watch results update live as votes come in.

Sandstone: coordinate legal work without the email chain

Sandstone is a legal workspace that helps in-house teams manage requests, documents and approvals. Sandstone’s embeds let legal teams and business stakeholders coordinate on nuanced work without leaving Slack. Each legal request shows its status, priority, added context and edited documents at the point of intake. Business teams get visibility, and legal gets fewer status-check pings.

You can find these apps and agents on the Slack Marketplace.

Developers can now build custom apps and agents with work object embeds

Developers can now bring an app or agent’s live, interactive experience into Slack, so customers can work with real content like documents, dashboards or contract editors right in the conversation. Embeds are available today for custom apps. If you want to bring a Marketplace app to Slack, reach out to request access.

• Build once, work everywhere: your embed runs the same on desktop, web and mobile, so you don’t maintain separate experiences for each surface.
• Interactive, not a link preview: people can view and take action on your app’s content without switching tabs.
• Trusted by design: every embed is reviewed and sandboxed, and admins control access org-wide or by workspace, which makes it easier for your security teams to say yes.
• Built for apps and agents: give customers a place to use your app or agent in the flow of work, right where their teams already collaborate.

Work object embeds are available now. Find the apps and agents featured here on the Slack Marketplace, and if you’re a developer, head to the Work Object Embeds developer documentation to build your own.

Slackbot skills are now shareable

Create an external link, send it to anyone on Slack, and browse AI agent skills you can add today.

Ever built a Slackbot skill that saves you hours every week, then watched a partner, customer, or friend at another company say “I need that” and have no way to get it? That’s over.
Shareable skills are now live everywhere. Any Slackbot skill you’ve built can now travel outside your org, so anyone with Slackbot, anywhere, can use it too.

What’s a Slackbot Skill?

A skill is a saved, repeatable AI workflow. You build it once by describing to Slackbot what you want done and how, and then you can run it anytime you want.
The good ones go further than saving a prompt. They run on a schedule. They read your channels. They build on what they learned last week.

• Deal Wins: Customer Intelligence reads a closed-won deal channel and adds a brief to a running customer dashboard. The insight builds over time.
• Wins Journal runs weekly, finds your shoutouts, and keeps a canvas of your wins, so review season isn’t a scramble.
• Drift flags where your CRM disagrees with what your team is saying in Slack.

What’s New: Shareable Skills

Skill authors can create an external, shareable link. Anyone in a different Slack org can open their skill, make a copy, and save it to their Slackbot. It’s ready to use right away. You stay in control, links are revocable, and admins get separate toggles for sharing skills out and accepting skills in.

How Skill Sharing Works

Step 1: Click the share arrow icon in the top-right corner of the skill view.
Step 2: Click “Create external link.”
Step 3: Copy the link and send it. Anyone outside your org can add the skill straight to their own Slackbot. That’s it. Three clicks between “I built something useful” and someone else is using it.

AI Agent Skill Repository

We asked people across Salesforce to share the skills making the biggest difference in their day. Every skill below has an “Add this skill” link. Click it, make your copy, and it’s in your Slackbot, ready to run. You’ll find skills for internal comms, incident management and support, document and presentation handling, and process automation, plus sales, research and a few for fun. New skills get added as they come in, so check back.

Sales & Customer Success

Deal intelligence, call prep and customer plans.

• Top 10 Deal Review Skill by André Petrovick: skip the pipeline scrub. Get the 10 open deals that need you most, ranked by size, stage risk and days since last activity.
• Deal IQ Skill by Mark Saunders: turn a call transcript into an account plan and a scored deal, with the data gaps flagged. No CRM needed, so send it to any seller, partner or customer team.
• AE Essentials Toolkit Skill Set by Richie Ellis: a set of six account-management skills. Each one asks what CRM, productivity suite and collaboration tool you use first, then personalizes to your setup. Add any of them: Account Intelligence SSOT Setup · Account Command Center · Account CRM Hygiene · Account Pre-Meeting Brief · Event Nomination Mapper · Weekly PipeGen Intelligence
• Demo & POV Skill Set by Claudia Sellers: six chained skills that take a sales demo from account research to a scripted, staged run scenario. Each one handles a single stage, stops for your input, then hands off to the next. Add all six so the handoffs work: Account Intel · Frame Lock · Value Ladder · Demo Spine · Talk Track · Buildsheet
• Surface Presentation Builder Skill by Izzy Power: go from idea to a click-through deck inside Slack, with no design work. Send it to a customer or partner who needs a polished deck fast.
• Discovery Call Prep Skill by Kyra Cotter: walk into a discovery call with likely pain points for your contact’s role and industry, five to seven open-ended questions, and responses to the objections competitors tend to raise. Connect your CRM and Slack for account history, or run it on web research alone.
• EBR Prep Skill by Rachael Ibbetson: walk into your next business review with a clear narrative, a data confidence score and a 10-slide structure with talk tracks. It asks what data you have first (CRM, usage data, a customer channel, web research), then builds around it.
• Call Notes Logger Skill by Bethany Amphlett: paste a transcript from Gemini, Zoom, Otter or any other tool, pick your sections, and get structured call notes with action items, owners and due dates. Nothing is saved until you approve it, then it goes to a canvas or a DM. No CRM needed.
• Joint Customer Success Plan Builder Skill by Bethany Amphlett: builds a joint success plan canvas in customer-ready language: business priorities, key initiatives, initiatives in the wings and next steps. Give it a customer and planning period, then share any sources you have (Slack channels, a Slack Connect channel, existing plans, notes) or start from a clean template. CRM is optional.
• Industry News Briefing Skill by Bethany Amphlett: tell it your role, company, topics and the companies, competitors or customers you want to watch. It searches the web for news from the past 7 days, checks each story’s publication date, and tags it good news, watch or risk. Each one gets a short summary and a “why it matters to you” talking point. Quiet week? It says so instead of padding with old news. You can also set it to run every Monday morning.
• Customer Weekly Update Skill by Christina Stilianos: drafts your weekly customer update from your week of Slack, email, calendar and Salesforce activity. It uses four sections, Top Priorities, Risks and Escalations, Key Customer Interactions, and Cross-team Dependencies and Asks. Every update comes out in the same format, so leads can scan a whole team’s update at a glance. Pair it with a scheduled Workflow Builder post and paste each draft into the thread or a form field.

Marketing and Comms

Audience building, competitive intel and internal comms.

• Product Marketing: CRM Audience Builder Skill by Katherine Millan: builds an audience of contacts from your own Salesforce fields, checks consent first, and asks you to confirm before it writes anything. Falls back to a CSV if you can’t write to your CRM.
• Product Marketing: Customer Intelligence (Deal Wins) Skill by Kelley Azam: turn a closed-won deal channel into a one-page brief with priorities, objections overcome, stakeholders and a reusable talking point. Each win builds on the last.
• Product Marketing: Compete Skill Builder Skill by Kris Orlowski: build a competitive intelligence skill for your own product from one short form. It tracks rivals twice a month, keeps a live canvas with a changelog and flags what changed. Send it to a partner’s marketing team.
• Acquisition Marketing: EU Stats Localiser for SEO Content Skill by Julia Reddington: localises the stats and data points in your SEO content for each EU market, adapting them by country and language, so you aren’t re-sourcing local figures for every version of a piece. Bring your own internal research to adapt it to your team.
• Acquisition Marketing: Form Page Optimizer Skill by Maxime Gilloteaux: turn any landing or form page into one built to convert. Give it a URL and it pulls every copy element, from the headline and form labels to the CTA and consent text. It rewrites each one in the page’s own language and returns a side-by-side canvas with a note on why each change should lift conversions. You also get a ready-to-paste developer brief. Bring a brand style guide if available, or it defaults to clear, benefit-led copy.
• Customer Marketing: Discovery Skill by Alex Stapleton: upload a usage report, QBR deck or renewal summary and get a customer story brief: problem, solution, impact and why Slack, plus adoption, top features, AI usage, integrations and competitive context. No CRM needed. Anything it can’t verify gets flagged, never guessed.
• Customer Marketing: Interview Brief Skill by Alex Stapleton: turns what you know about a customer into five narrative pillars and the questions to ask for each, ready for the interview.
• Comms: Internal Comms Post Reviewer Skill by Kyra Cotter: grades your draft announcement against the S.A.U.C.E. framework plus messaging and audience checks, then gives you a letter grade, three fixes and a rewrite on request. Swap in your own rubric to fit your team.
• CTA Matchmaker Skill by Trey Lowery: finds the marketing campaign that best fits one of your accounts, using your Slack channels, email and meeting notes. Then it drafts a message to the account team, and writes the relevant customer outreach in your voice.

Support and Services Skills

Case analysis, incident tracking and root cause write-ups.

• Last Support Update Staleness Check Skill by Tanvir Ahmed: pulls a Salesforce case report, finds cases whose last support update is older than your threshold (2 days by default), and posts a canvas to your channel grouped by case owner, oldest first. Put it on a schedule and stale cases surface every morning. Needs a Salesforce report with case number, owner, date opened, last support update and status.
• Incident Status Scanner Skill by Dee Ann Adams: see every incident still marked In Progress in your channel, with status, impact and a link to each update. No scrolling to find out what’s live.
• Zendesk Support Case Analysis Skill by Rachael Ibbetson: turn a batch of support tickets into themes, categories and trends. Tell it your company, product and categories, and it does the rest. JIRA is optional.
• Incident Causation Write-Up Skill by Ramesh Godishela: turn an incident thread into a structured root cause analysis that works for any engineering or ops team.

Research Skills

Cited answers and frameworks for your own research.

• Microsoft 365 Research Skill by Felipe Alban: ask a question and get a cited answer pulled from your SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams. Ask “have we discussed this before?” and it searches Teams conversations only. Your admin needs to turn on the Microsoft 365 connection first.
• Research Repository Insights Skill by Anay Somvanshi: a template for building your own research skill. Point it at your research repository and it returns cited findings, a coverage rating per theme and the gaps nobody has studied yet. You fill in your sources and product areas on first run.

Productivity and Personal Skills

1:1 prep, tough decisions and personal workflows.

• Chief of Staff Setup Guide Skill by Ryan Paul: scans your Slack activity, channels and canvases to work out your team, initiatives and stakeholders, then builds a layered operating system in Slackbot around them.
• Board of Directors Decision Counsel Skill by Poz Long: stuck on a decision? Six thinkers, each in the tone of a well-known figure, argue it out, name where they disagree and end with a recommendation and the signal that would change it. A good one to send a founder or a friend.
• Drift (Record vs. Reality Check) Skill by Nakshatra Gupta: catch the gap between what your CRM or tickets say and what your team is saying in Slack, before it shows up in a forecast or an escalation. Works for sales, customer success and support.
• My Voice and Inbox Triage Skill by Trey Lowery: My Voice builds a voice guide from your sent mail so drafts sound like you. Inbox Triage drafts replies to the mail that needs one, using that guide.
• Wins Journal Skill by Cameron Berner: review season without the scramble. Your Slack shoutouts and mentions land in one running canvas every week.
• Goal-to-Graph Mapper Skill by Manish Kumar Jha: turn a fuzzy goal into a map of facts, actions and decisions, and spot the gaps before you commit to a plan.
• Agent Loop Design Validator Skill by Manish Kumar Jha: scores any agent loop design against Karpathy’s LOOPS.md principles and gives you prioritized fixes.
• Slack Persona .md File Skill by Manish Kumar Jha: infers your working style from your Slack conversations and writes a CLAUDE.md persona file tailored to your role.
• 1:1 Prep for Leaders Skill by Randy Stone: walk into your 1:1 with the wins, risks and open-ended questions already lined up. It reads what your direct report has been posting and keeps a running canvas just for you.
• Project AI RMF Risk Assessment Skill by Tony Angle: describe your AI project or share a scope of work, and it builds a risk register using the NIST AI Risk Management Framework (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage). Each risk is rated, with a concrete mitigation for anything medium or high.

Just for Fun Skills

Games and personality quizzes.

• Which Harry Potter Character Am I? Skill by Manish Kumar Jha: scans your Slack activity for the year and builds a Harry Potter dossier, with your character match, Hogwarts house, strengths and blind spots, delivered as a canvas.
• Tic Tac Toe vs Slackbot Skill by Manish Kumar Jha: pick Easy, Medium or Hard and play Slackbot right in the thread, with a running score across rounds. Hard mode never loses.

A Skill Gets Better With a Surface and a Task

The Slackbot product team uses a skill to book its weekly workshops, and it doesn’t stop at the skill. Jenna Rizzo, a Sr. Staff TPM at Slack, built three pieces that work together.

• A surface shows who’s in the weekly workshop, when it meets and who can book.
• A skill collects the topic, checks everyone’s calendar so nothing double-books, and drafts the invite for approval.
• A scheduled task confirms the slot on Monday, or cancels the hold so nobody’s time goes to waste.

Each piece is useful alone. Together, Slackbot handles the coordination and alignment, so the team can focus on making better decisions, faster. Try the Team Slot Booker to set up your own.

Now, Share Your Skill

Built a skill that makes your work easier? Don’t keep it to yourself. Generate your external link using the steps above, then post it and tag us on social with a quick note on what it does and why it helps. We’ll keep spotlighting new skills every month, so yours could show up here next.

Slack Code enables even more collaboration between humans and agents in Slack by creating dedicated channels for deeper work. Agents can now create ephemeral channels from existing conversations, providing agents and their human collaborators a shared, visible place to work.

Your agents manage the space: create a new code channel when a user’s request entails more work than a quick reply, and add bookmarks and artifacts so users can see your agent’s work. As the work progresses, your agent can post updates and convey status, and even archive the channel when work is complete.

Version 4.9.0 of the Slack CLI is here!

We've added support for the settings.app_level_token_rotation_enabled app manifest property, which opts your app in to rotating app-level tokens.

We fixed an issue where an expired login with an invalid refresh token caused the CLI to retry token rotation on every command. The CLI now asks you to run slack login again.

We fixed an issue where the slack activity --tail and slack run commands kept requesting activity logs after the login token became invalid. The command now exits with the auth error.

We've added support for the TaskCardBlock layout block (task_card type) and related fields, as well as UrlSourceElement for the sources field.

We've added support for the ContainerBlock layout block (container type) and related fields.

We've added support for the following Slack Code API methods:

• agents.conversations.archive
• agents.conversations.create
• agents.conversations.getCanvas
• agents.conversations.listViews
• agents.conversations.removeView
• agents.conversations.setCanvasContent
• agents.conversations.setCommands
• agents.conversations.setProperties
• agents.conversations.setView

We've added support for the ContainerBlock layout block (container type) and related fields.

We've released the following Node SDK-related updates:

Socket Mode v3.1.0

The default dispatcher now pins the WebSocket connection to HTTP/1.1, since undici@^8 offers HTTP/2 by default. To do the same with a custom ProxyAgent dispatcher, pass requestTls: { allowH2: false }.

Types v3.2.0

We added the ContainerBlock block interface.

We added the data_table Block Kit block type (DataTableBlock).

We now allow raw_number cells in TableBlock rows (adds RawNumberElement).

We added an optional action_id property to the WorkflowButton block element.

Web API v8.2.0

We added the agents.conversations.* methods for Slack Code:

Your AI agents just got more capable

The Slack MCP Server keeps expanding what AI assistants like Claude can actually do inside Slack, and this month it grew in two directions at once. Assistants can now create, read, update, and delete Slack Lists and records directly through the MCP Server, right alongside the existing search, messaging, and canvas tools. Lists become another surface your AI can operate on, not just a place you manage manually.

Admins are getting a fall harvest of their own data, too. Instead of digging through dashboards, admins can now ask Slackbot directly for org-wide usage data. Member Analytics lets Org Owners, Admins, and Analytics Admins ask about member and usage data in plain language, with more datasets on the way. Alongside it, the Skills Admin Dashboard gives every admin the same reporting to audit usage and promote top-performing skills.

CRM that keeps up with you

Your CRM meetings now write their own notes, and their own to-do list. Upcoming external meetings surface right on the CRM Agenda and record activity timeline, and Slack auto-generates an AI call summary with action items once the call wraps. Those action items convert straight into Salesforce tasks, no manual write-up required. It currently works with Google Calendar.

And for teams that live in Salesforce Lightning more than they live in Slack, Slackbot is coming to you. Sales managers and service agents can open a chat panel right next to a record to flag pipeline deals gone quiet or pull shipping status on a delayed order, without ever leaving the page. It’s included in Business+ and Enterprise+ plans, and available to everyone else through Flex Credits.

Less setup, more access, everywhere

Rounding out this drop are a few changes that make Slack easier to set up and easier to use wherever you are. Admins can now connect Gmail to Slack org-wide with a single configuration, no more asking every user to connect their own account. That brings Gmail context straight into Enterprise Search, AI Answers, Slackbot, and Workflows, built on the same shared framework Slack already uses for other connectors.

And HTML files, whether they’re prototypes, dashboards, or agent output, now render as live, interactive pages right on your phone. What used to be a desktop-only experience now works the same way on iOS and Android.

Slackbot joins your channels and Salesforce, live data becomes interactive Surfaces, and coding becomes a team sport — all in one conversation.

This week at Dreamforce, we gave Slack one of its biggest upgrades yet, the connected interface for AI and Salesforce that works across your whole team. Every company is investing in AI right now, but they’re missing two things. First, the conversational context that add long-term memory and insight that makes AI more accurate, actionable, and trustworthy. And next, the collaborative interface that allows employees to use these AI tools together and learn from one another. These two things come together in Slack, which has become the work operating systems where all your people, agents, and every platform connect with Slackbot, an AI teammate to help you navigate your work day. This is what makes Slack the front door to the Agentic Enterprise, and for Salesforce customers, the front door to Salesforce itself.

Introducing Slackforce: the front door to Salesforce

For 25 years, Salesforce customers have built rich customer data and workflows to run their business. Now that data can come to life where decisions are getting made: in the conversation. Today’s updates close that gap, connecting Salesforce data directly into the conversation instead of another tab, so the CRM and IT investment you’ve already made keeps paying off instead of sitting one tab away.

The dashboards, decks, and reports that make data sharable used to take a specialist, like a designer or BI team, and days you didn’t have. Now they take a sentence. Describe what you need in the conversation and Slackbot builds a Slackforce Surface: a live, interactive interface your team can filter, explore, comment on, and act on together. Pin it to a channel and it stays connected to the source. And soon it will refresh automatically as the data changes. For Salesforce customers your pipeline, forecast, case backlog, or campaign report, from Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Data 360, or Tableau, become a working Slackforce Surface right from the conversation, built under your own permissions, making your data actionable.

Slackbot is now the AI teammate that unlocks productivity for the whole team

Most employees are stuck in first gear with AI, from basic search and summarization, to one-off Q&A that never leaves the chat window. Slackbot breaks that pattern by moving AI out of the private chat and into the channels where teams already work. Slackbot makes AI easy for the whole team. It’s powered by Claude and turns specialist work into a conversation everyone can build on. And it’s already available in the familiar place you work. Since launch, it’s crossed one million monthly active users, up 145% quarter over quarter.

And now you can tag Slackbot into a channel so the whole team builds on the answer together. When AI is used in the channels, everyone can act on it, prompt patterns spread along with knowledge of how to use AI, making it easier for a team to learn from each other. Slackbot is grounded in every public channel you have access to, so every answer compounds into sharper, higher-impact outcomes for you, your agents, and the whole team.

And now Slackbot expands into the Salesforce Lightning Experience carrying the same context, automation capabilities, and AI superpowers into the CRM. Instead of switching over to Slack to ask a question or get help, a sales manager or customer service agent can open a chat panel right next to the record and automatically flag pipeline deals that go quiet for more than two weeks or pull the shipping status and order history on a delayed-order case to draft a resolution, without leaving the page. Slackbot is included in Slack Business+ and Enterprise+ plans, giving customers with these plans access to Slackbot in both Slack and Lightning. Customers who do not have Slackbot, as well as Salesforce customers who are not yet using Slack, can access Slackbot in Lightning through Flex Credits. This provides customers with a flexible way to access Slackbot based on their existing Slack plan or Flex Credits, without requiring a separate purchase of Slackbot.

And Slackbot is going even deeper. With Big Mode (live today), Slackbot gets a full-screen, dedicated AI workspace inside Slack, built for deeper, longer-form work like research, writing, analysis, and file generation, without ever leaving the conversation. Draft a multi-page strategy brief or post-mortem, then push the finished doc straight into a Surface and pin to a channel for the team to react to in real time. Coming this fall, two-way voice lets you talk to Slackbot the way you’d talk to a colleague, and hear it talk back with the ability to trigger real actions, like updating a record or kicking off an automation. A manager on the move can ask Slackbot out loud to move a deal to the next stage and hear the confirmation back, no typing required. And with video generation, also coming this fall, Slackbot can turn a product update, demo, or campaign brief into a finished video clip right in the conversation, without switching to a separate tool.

Coding is now a team sport with Slack Code

AI made developers faster, but that speed stayed locked in one person’s tab, invisible to everyone else until it showed up later as a pull request or a meeting. The rest of the team, PMs, designers, other engineers, couldn’t see it, weigh in, or build on it.

Now coding happens where the team already is. With Slack Code, people and AI agents come together in a dedicated space, called a code channel, to write, review, and ship code live, with everyone able to see the plan, the code diff, and a working preview in real time. A product manager can flag a bug, an agent can propose the fix, and an engineer can review and ship it, all without a ticket, a meeting, or a wait. For anything high-stakes, like pushing to production, the agent packages its work for a teammate’s sign-off, right in the conversation. Agents from Anthropic, Cognition, GitHub, Vercel, and OpenAI, and more already work in these channels alongside your team. One person’s fix becomes everyone’s.

"Slack is already where our teams work, so it's where working with agents makes sense. A thread is fine for a quick back-and-forth, but agent engineering needs its own space. In a code channel, the whole team can watch the agent work, steer it, and ship a preview together, with the full context and history in one place. Building software becomes something the whole team does together." — Malte Ubl, Chief Technology Officer, Vercel

Today, new agents from Cedar, Coderabbit, Datadog, Factory, Lovable, Mistral, NanoClaw, Replit, Rhythms, and Snowflake are available.

Sneak preview: Slack for frontline teams

Slack is also previewing Slack Frontline, a simple, mobile-first experience built for teams that don’t work at a desk, like retail associates, manufacturing teams and healthcare staff. It gives them one place to manage shifts, access corporate bulletins, and get the support they need that keep the floor moving, all as a part of the same work operating system that powers the broader business. Whether you’re on the floor or in a boardroom, the story is the same: your people, your agents, and every app you rely on, working together in one place. That’s what makes Slack the best interface for the whole business, not just the parts of it that sit behind a desk.

Availability

Slackbot in Lightning Experience, Slackforce Surfaces, Big Mode and Slack Code are available now.

Slackbot in Channels is in early pilot. Two-way Voice and Video Generation coming later this year.

Slack for frontline teams is in preview, with general availability planned for a future release.

Check out our Innovations webpage for previous releases.

Please note that some features may not be immediately available in your workspace depending on the rollout timeline, your Slack licensing plan, or additional license requirements. To learn more about feature availability, check with your admin on the licensing plans for your workspace.
