Anthropic launches Claude Code in Slack

🚨 Our Report 

Anthropic is launching Claude Code in Slack as a research preview, letting developers delegate complete coding tasks directly from chat threads. The tool uses conversation context, like bug reports, to automate entire workflows, from finding the right repository to opening pull requests.

🔓 Key Points

• Developers can tag @Claude to initiate a complete coding session using Slack context like bug reports or feature requests, moving beyond simple snippets to full workflow automation from within chat.

• The move signals a broader industry shift, with AI coding assistants migrating from developer environments (IDEs) into collaboration tools like Slack, where engineering teams already communicate and manage projects.

• The integration introduces security and IP questions by adding another usage point to code repositories. It also creates dependencies where a Slack or Claude API outage could disrupt development workflows.

🔐 Relevance 

This move embeds AI coding assistants directly into the central hub of engineering communication. The shift from siloed tools to integrated collaborators could accelerate development cycles, but it also concentrates significant workflow control and security risk within collaboration platforms. Control over developer workflows is shifting from IDEs to chat-based tools.

Case Study

How AI cut manufacturing downtime at Georgia-Pacific

• Paper and lumber manufacturer Georgia-Pacific faced a knowledge crisis as experienced operators retired, leaving with critical machine expertise.

• Traditional troubleshooting meant calling experts and searching manuals, leading to extended downtime and lost productivity across their 140+ manufacturing facilities nationwide.

• They deployed ChatGPT, a generative AI chatbot powered by Amazon Bedrock that consolidates maintenance records, IoT data, and expert knowledge into real-time guidance.

• The system provides step-by-step machine adjustments and troubleshooting support. Georgia-Pacific estimates over 1M in potential annual savings from reduced downtime and improved efficiency.

AI News Story

Google confirms 2026 launch for AI glasses

• Google has announced plans to release its first AI-powered glasses in 2026, marking its return to the smart eyewear market. The devices come with audio-only glasses by the Gemini assistant and a model with an in-lens display.

• The company is partnering with Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker on design and manufacturing, backed by a $150M commitment. The glasses will run on Android XR and aim to compete directly with Meta’s successful Ray-Ban AI line.

• For Google, this move signals a renewed push into consumer AI hardware as it seeks to reestablish itself in the wearables race. The launch will test whether improved AI and design partnerships can deliver what earlier smart glasses could not.
