Claude Tag is a new way for teams to work with Claude, starting on Slack. Teams can grant Claude access to selected channels and tools, then tag @Claude to delegate tasks while focusing on other work.

Key Features:

  • Multiplayer: One Claude instance per Slack channel that interacts with everyone, allowing team members to see what it's working on and pick up conversations
  • Learning Over Time: Claude builds context from channel activity and can learn from other Slack channels and data sources (doesn't report from private channels)
  • Proactive Initiative: With ambient behavior enabled, Claude proactively flags relevant information and follows up on unresolved threads
  • Asynchronous Work: Set tasks and focus on other priorities while Claude works; can schedule tasks for itself over hours or days
  • Direct Messages: Send Claude private messages using personal tools and connectors

Internal Adoption:

  • 65% of Anthropic's product team's code is created by their internal version of Claude Tag
  • Usage spreading beyond engineering to product metrics, support tickets, and bug investigation

Availability:

  • Available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers
  • Works with Slack
  • Uses Claude Opus 4.8
  • Replaces existing Claude in Slack app
  • Administrators can migrate within 30 days
  • Introductory launch credits issued to eligible organizations

Access Control:

  • System administrators specify which tools and information the model can access in which channels
  • Separate Claude identities for different uses with scoped memories
  • Token spend limits can be set for organization and individual channels
  • Full audit logs of Claude's actions and who requested each task

  1. Pair Claude Tag with Slack workspace
