This extended integration requires a paid Zencoder account.
Overview
Zencoder is an AI teammate for Slack. Mention @zencoder in a channel, thread, or DM to plan work, manage tasks, answer questions about your projects, create automations, or start an AI coding agent on your connected repo. Zencoder combines chat-based project management with autonomous software engineering. It can update Zenflow tasks, summarize progress, schedule recurring workflows, and when code changes are needed, launch an isolated agent that works on the repo and opens a GitHub pull request for review. Zencoder supports multi-model workflows, choose the best model for each task, or let Zencoder decide.Connecting Slack
