The agent — Anthropic's Claude or Cognition's Devin for now — gets its own tab in the channel with a file tree, diff view, and live HTML preview before anything ships. **What actually changes day-to-day** **Agent tabs are persistent**— each coding task gets a named tab (e.g., "refactor-auth-flow") that stays attached to the channel. Teammates can scroll back, review the diff, drop comments, or take over mid-session.**Diff-first workflow**— changes render as unified diffs inline. You approve, request tweaks, or merge with one click. No separate PR tab unless you want one.**Live preview for web work**— HTML/CSS/JS changes render in an iframe pane. Backend changes show test output. It's basically a lightweight Codespace pinned to the discussion.**Multi-agent handoff**— start with[Claude](/en/tags/claude/)for architecture, hand off to Devin for implementation, tag a human for review. All in the same thread. The integration feels like what [GitHub Copilot](/en/tags/github%20copilot/)Workspace *wanted*to be but buried inside a browser tab. Here the context — product specs, design screenshots, prior decisions — already lives in Slack. The agent inherits that history automatically. **Where it still feels rough** Authentication is the obvious friction point. The agent needs repo access, CI secrets, maybe staging deployment keys. Slack's handling this through a new "Connected Apps" layer that scopes tokens per channel, but setup still requires an admin step. Also, the preview pane only supports static assets and Node/Python simple servers today — no Docker Compose, no database spin-up. For anything beyond a marketing page or API endpoint, you'll still kick off a real preview environment. Pricing hasn't been announced. My guess: per-agent-minute on top of the Slack seat, similar to how Slack AI bills. If you're already paying for Claude API or Devin seats, this might just be a UI wrapper. Worth asking your account rep. **Bottom line** If your team lives in Slack and codes in VS Code, this removes a genuine context-switch tax. The "vibe-coding" branding is cringe, but the primitive — *code as a first-class channel citizen* — is the right abstraction. I'll be testing it on a side project this week; the diff review flow alone could replace half our PR comments.
