Anthropic launches Claude Tag, a tool that works like a virtual employee within Slack

Anthropic has released a version of its popular chatbot Claude that operates like a virtual employee. Claude Tag, the new product, works across organizations within Slack to complete various tasks for teams. The product is similar to Anthropic’s popular agentic offerings Claude Code and Cowork. After an employee directs Claude Tag to complete a task, the bot will break that down into stages and work through them independently—delivering the final result to a team via Slack. Anthropic says Claude Tag has been designed with enterprises in mind and has features that let all members of a company access a single Claude “identity,” meaning all employees can collaborate with the same tool and hand off half-finished tasks to one another. “We see Claude Tag as an evolution of Claude Code,” Cat Wu, Anthropic’s head of product for Claude Code and Cowork, told Fortune. “Claude Code, CoWork, and chat are very single player, whereas Claude Tag is built to be interactive and multiplayer. When Claude Tag works in a channel, everyone can see it, and everyone can jump in, engage, and steer it in the right direction.” The tool also learns from the company it’s embedded in over time. Anthropic says the bot can get up to speed on company information across channels without every user having to explain the context of each task. Within Anthropic, Claude Tag is already approving and incorporating 65% of the code changes the product team submits, according to Wu.

Anthropic has been making recent gains in the market despite fierce competition from fellow AI labs like OpenAI and Big Tech companies such as Google.
