Anthropic debuts Claude Tag, a more capable AI teammate that lives within Slack

Anthropic PBC today unveiled a new version of its chatbot Claude that lives inside Slack, where it operates like a virtual employee.

It’s called Claude Tag, and it’s designed to work across entire organizations, helping multiple employees complete tasks for related projects. It builds on existing agentic artificial intelligence tools offered by Anthropic, including Claude Code and Claude Cowork.

When an employee directs it to complete a task, the bot will break down everything it needs to accomplish this into a series of steps. Then it will complete them all independently, before the final result of that work is delivered to the team via Slack.

According to Anthropic, Claude Tag is accessible to all employees within a company via a single Claude “identity,” which means everyone gets to use the same tool. That makes it possible for people to hand off half-finished tasks to other team members, who’ll be able to pick up where they left off.
