Anthropic has introduced Claude Tag, a beta feature that lets teams assign work to Claude from inside Slack by mentioning @Claude in a channel or thread.

The launch turns Slack from a place where employees discuss work into a place where an AI agent can pick up tasks, use connected tools, and return results in the same conversation. Anthropic says Claude Tag is available now for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, and that it replaces the existing Claude in Slack app for organizations that opt in during the migration window.

The feature is aimed at shared workflows rather than one-off chat prompts. Once administrators connect a Slack workspace and approve tool access, employees can ask Claude to investigate issues, summarize context, work through support tickets, pull product metrics, or route coding tasks. Admins can set spending limits for the organization and individual channels, and review a log of what Claude has done and who requested it.

Anthropic also disclosed one internal benchmark for how central the pattern has become inside the company: it says 65% of its product team's code is now created by an internal version of Claude Tag. The public beta runs on Opus 4.8.

The broader significance is not just another Slack bot. Claude Tag pushes enterprise AI toward persistent, shared agent work, where the assistant sees more organizational context and acts across tools with governance controls around cost, permissions, and auditability.
