Anthropic’s Claude Tag is learning your company, one Slack message at a time
Key takeaways
- Anthropic is introducing Claude Tag in research preview, an “always-on Claude” that lives in Slack and acts as an AI teammate.
- Claude Tag is an evolution of several integrations that already exist.
- But Claude Tag adds a layer of persistent context and memory that would be difficult to maintain with previous tools.
Why this matters: a development in AI with implications for how people work, create, and decide.
Anthropic is introducing Claude Tag in research preview, an “always-on Claude” that lives in Slack and acts as an AI teammate. The new feature — which allows users to tag @Claude to provide insights in chats and assign tasks — will begin in research preview, available through Slack for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers.
Claude Tag is an evolution of several integrations that already exist. Users can already DM @Claude within Slack or tag it in channels for on-demand help, and Claude Code in Slack routes coding tasks from channel mentions to full coding sessions on the web, posting updates back into the thread.
But Claude Tag adds a layer of persistent context and memory that would be difficult to maintain with previous tools. “As Claude follows along with its channel, it learns ever more about the work,” reads a statement from Anthropic. “Claude can also automatically gather facts from elsewhere in the organization, if it’s granted permission to read other channels.”
