AI - Slack joins the AI game with Slack Code, Copilot Cowork available for private users, and Antigravity for enterprise plus IDE extensions
A bit of a busy day in AI world again π€£ We have Slack Code launching, Copilot Cowork available to private users (preview obviously π€£), and Antigravity for enterprise details π
Slack Code
Slack creating something with “code” in the name is not really surprising as everyone does it, but it was still not really on my bingo card π€£
It does look like integration with other agents to make it easier to use directly in their own app.
Weβre in the middle of a coding boom thatβs changing how people build and work. Coding agents like Claude Code, Claude Tag, Devin from Cognition, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Vercel agents have made writing and shipping code faster and more accessible than ever. Now the challenge is connecting what youβre building to the conversations your team is having, all in one interface.
The all in one interface is the key here π
Official announcement
From their own blog
Slack Code brings AI development directly into Slack, changing how we build and work. Code channels are the first space in Slack that’s built specifically for people to collaborate with agents on software development, together. They’re inherently multiplayer and accessible to everyone. And, they bring developers, PMs, designers, non-technical teammates into the same shared workspace as the agent, so building software β from idea to shipped product β isn’t just for engineers anymore. No other platform offers the same combination of an open ecosystem and a multiplayer coding environment for humans and agents to work together at once.
Copilot Cowork
Copilot Cowork for personal accounts
It appears that maybe we (mere mortals π) will get to check how Copilot Cowork works after all π€£ It was initially locked behind “frontier” company program, so not many people could try it out π
Antigravity
Two announcements in one really π, Antigravity Extensions, and Antigravity for enterprise.
Not entirely sure how many people will find it useful, but more options are always good π
Official announcements
From their own blog
Antigravity is available now as part of eligible Gemini Enterprise app subscriptions, including out-of-the-box administrative and spend controls.
New IDE extensions let developers use Antigravity in the IDEs of their choice, including VS Code.
I think I found out from this tweet so crediting it here π
