Claude Tag: @Claude on Slack for Multiplayer AI Collaboration
Anthropic announced Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude directly inside Slack. Instead of a one-on-one chat, Claude joins channels as a persistent team member. Tag @Claude with a task, and Claude breaks it down into stages, uses connected tools, and responds in a thread — while you work on other things.
Key Features
- Multiplayer: One Claude per channel interacts with everyone. Conversations persist — anyone can pick up where another left off.
- Learns over time: Claude builds context by following channel conversations and connected data sources. No need to re-explain from scratch.
- Ambient behavior (optional): Claude proactively flags relevant info from across channels and follows up on stale threads.
- Async and scheduled tasks: Set a task and walk away. Claude can schedule work over hours or days.
- DM support: Tag Claude in DMs for private, tool-access tasks.
Internal Usage
Anthropic reports that 65% of their product team's code is now created by their internal version of Claude Tag. Usage has spread beyond engineering to metrics, support tickets, and bug root-causing.
Deployment & Control
- System admins configure tools, data sources, and channel scopes per Claude identity. Memories stay isolated per channel scope.
- Token spend limits can be set per organization and per channel.
- An audit log tracks all Claude actions and who requested them.
- Works with Opus 4.8.
Availability
Available today in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers. Replaces the existing Claude in Slack app; admins can migrate within 30 days. Introductory launch credits provided.
Setup: link Claude Tag to Slack workspace → grant tool access → set spend cap → test in private channel.
