Anthropic has introduced Claude Tag, a new feature that enables teams to work with the Claude AI model through Slack. The tool allows users to tag Claude in selected channels and delegate tasks, enabling the model to build context from the information it gathers and plan future actions. This marks a significant step in the evolution of Claude Code, as it enhances the model's proactivity and team integration. According to the company, tagging is now a primary method for completing tasks at Anthropic, with 65% of the product team's code generated by an internal version of Claude Tag. The feature is currently available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, with plans to expand its availability in the future. Source: anthropic
Claude Tag operates within Slack, where it can interact with multiple users in a single channel, providing a collaborative experience similar to working with a teammate. The model can learn over time by accessing information from the channels it is part of, allowing it to build context without requiring repeated explanations from users. It can also automatically learn from other Slack channels and data sources, provided it has the necessary permissions, though it does not access private channels. This capability gives it the tacit knowledge needed to perform tasks effectively. Additionally, if ambient behavior is enabled, Claude will proactively update users on relevant information and follow up on unresolved tasks. The tool also supports asynchronous work, allowing users to set tasks and focus on other priorities while Claude works independently. Source: anthropic
Anthropic designed Claude Tag with teams and organizations in mind, offering tight control over access to sensitive data and task-specific tools. System administrators can define which tools and information the model should have access to, and these settings are scoped to specific channels. For example, a model configured for sales work will not share memories with one set up for engineering, and engineers will not have access to sales data or tools. Once permissions are set, users can begin tagging immediately, with administrators able to set token spend limits and view logs of all tasks completed. Source: anthropic
