Anthropic has launched Claude Tag, a feature that integrates its AI assistant into Slack channels, allowing team members to tag @Claude to assign tasks.

According to the company in an official blog post, the feature is currently available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers. It allows Claude to join selected channels and connect to tools, data, and codebases. Once added, anyone in the channel can tag @Claude with a request, after which the model breaks the task into stages, works through them, and replies in a thread. Administrators control which channels and tools Claude can access and can set usage limits.

Claude Tag builds on Anthropic's existing Claude Code and Cowork products. According to the company, it adds several capabilities: the model is visible to everyone in a channel, so multiple users can see its progress and pick up the conversation. It retains context from the channels it is in, meaning users do not need to repeat background information. If 'ambient' mode is enabled, Claude can flag updates, follow up on unresolved threads, and schedule tasks for itself to complete asynchronously.

Anthropic said that internally, tagging @Claude has become a primary way of working. The company's product team now generates 65% of its code through an internal version of Claude Tag. The tool is also used for non-engineering tasks such as tracking product metrics, handling support tickets, and debugging.

Claude Tag replaces the existing Claude app in Slack. Administrators have 30 days to migrate, and introductory credits are being offered to eligible organisations. The feature runs on the Opus 4.8 model, and Anthropic plans to expand its availability beyond Slack in the future.
