Anthropic has unveiled Claude Tag, a new agentic AI feature that integrates directly into Slack, allowing teams to tag @Claude as a collaborative team member to delegate tasks, automate workflows, and build shared organizational context.
The feature is available today in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, marking a significant step in enterprise AI collaboration.
Claude Tag enables users to invoke Anthropic’s AI directly within Slack channels by typing @Claude, after which it breaks down assigned tasks into stages, executes them using connected tools, and delivers results in a Slack thread.
It is designed to operate as a persistent, always-on AI teammate rather than a one-off chatbot interaction, making it fundamentally different from conventional AI chat interfaces.
Anthropic describes Claude Tag as an evolution of Claude Code, one that is more proactive and built for full team collaboration. Internally, the company reports that 65% of its product team’s code is already generated using their internal version of Claude Tag, with the same pattern extending beyond engineering to product metrics, support tickets, and bug analysis.
Claude Tag Capabilities
Claude Tag ships with four core behaviors that distinguish it from prior AI tools:
- Multiplayer access: A single Claude instance lives within each Slack channel, allowing any team member to pick up tasks or conversations where a colleague left off.
- Contextual memory: Claude builds persistent knowledge of channel history and organizational data over time, eliminating the need for repeated context-setting.
- Ambient proactivity: When “ambient” mode is enabled, Claude proactively flags relevant updates, follows up on unresolved threads, and surfaces insights without being prompted.
- Asynchronous execution: Users can assign tasks and step away — Claude can autonomously schedule and pursue projects over hours or even days.
Anthropic has engineered Claude Tag with tight administrative controls, a priority for enterprise deployments. System administrators define which tools, data sources, and channels each Claude instance can access, creating separate scoped identities for example, a sales-configured Claude will not share memories or data access with an engineering channel instance.
Admins can also set monthly token spend limits at both the organization and channel levels and audit a full log of every task Claude has executed, including who requested it.
Claude Tag is currently in research preview beta for Claude Enterprise and Team subscribers, running on the Opus 4.8 model. It replaces the existing Claude in the Slack app, and administrators have a 30-day window to opt in for migration before the legacy app is retired on August 3.
Anthropic is also issuing introductory launch credits to eligible organizations. The company has confirmed plans to expand Claude Tag beyond Slack to other collaboration platforms.
