Anthropic introduced Claude Tag, a collaborative AI tool that integrates directly into Slack workspaces. Teams can invite Claude as a channel member, granting it access to specific tools, data sources, and codebases. Any team member tags @Claude with requests, and the model breaks tasks into stages, executing them asynchronously while building persistent context from channel conversations.

Claude operates as a shared teammate within each Slack channel, allowing multiple users to see its progress and continue conversations where others left off. The system learns from ongoing discussions and can proactively surface relevant information when ambient mode is enabled. Administrators control data access permissions, creating scoped identities that prevent cross-contamination between different work contexts like engineering and sales.

Internal adoption at Anthropic shows Claude Tag generated 65% of the product team's code, expanding beyond engineering into product analytics, support tickets, and bug investigation. The model works with Opus 4.8 and supports scheduled autonomous tasks spanning hours or days. Teams can set token spending limits and audit all Claude activities through admin logs.

Claude Tag enters beta exclusively for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, replacing the existing Claude in Slack app. The launch includes introductory credits for eligible organizations, with migration requiring administrator opt-in within 30 days.
