Autonomous software engineer product operated by Cognition.
Slack shipped agent-run code channels on every plan. The bug-to-ship path can now skip the human engineer, and only "high-stakes actions" are gated.

Slack launched Slack Code on August 20, putting coding agents into project-based channels. The question for engineering leaders is now where agent work lives, not which agent to buy.
Reality
A denial of a Bloomberg report on SpaceX buying Cognition leaves the compute relationship unaddressed, and leaves buyers choosing coding tools from a shrinking independent field.
Reality
Bloomberg says SpaceX approached Cognition. Its CEO says no talks happened. Either way, the pattern is compute traded for developer data, and that reprices any single-vendor coding bet.
Reality
The forecast implies efficiency gains get eaten by bigger models and longer agent chains. Per-agent unit economics is the line item that decides whether a pilot survives finance.
