Slack wants to drag AI coding out of the terminal and into the group chat
Slack is redefining AI coding, moving it from isolated terminals into collaborative group chats with Slack Code. This new product embeds AI coding agents – including Anthropic's Claude Code, Cognition's Devin, and others – directly into dedicated Slack channels, enabling teams to collectively review, steer, and ship software. Slack is betting that multiplayer AI, where everyone can see and contribute, will lead to higher quality and faster development, effectively removing code as the primary bottleneck.
Microsoft Agent Framework Harness and Hosted Agents Reach General Availability
Microsoft's Agent Framework achieves General Availability, marking a significant shift from SDK-based development to a governed runtime platform. Build 2026 introduced the Agent Harness alongside key connectors and orchestration patterns, now stabilized and ready for production use. Foundry Hosted Agents also reach GA, streamlining deployment. This evolution empowers developers to confidently build and run AI agents, moving beyond experimentation toward practical application. For Java and Kotlin developers exploring agent frameworks, the Embabel Agent Framework’s recent 1.0 release offers a valuable perspective.
'We have maybe 20 months' to rebuild for AI agents, Meta's infrastructure VP tells VB Transform 2026
The shift to agentic AI demands immediate infrastructure transformation. Meta VP of Engineering Barak Yagour, speaking at VB Transform 2026, highlighted a critical timeframe: “We have maybe 20 months to rebuild the whole thing for a world where humans and agents co-create at scale.” Automated traffic now surpasses human traffic, reshaping foundational assumptions about data consumption. Meta is prioritizing agent-aware infrastructure, focusing on dynamic controls, robust identity management, and accelerated data velocity—a flywheel effect driving innovation across agents, data, and recommendations.
