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.
