Claude Tag Launches on Slack: Teams Can Now Delegate Tasks to Claude in Channels

[Rogue Sam]

Anthropic launched Claude Tag on Slack in beta this week for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, allowing any team member to tag @Claude in a channel and delegate tasks while the AI works asynchronously. Claude builds context by remembering relevant information from channels it has access to, can schedule tasks for itself over hours or days, and works with tools and codebases that administrators connect to it. The framing from Anthropic is explicitly that Claude Tag is the beginning of an evolution of Claude Code from a solo developer tool into a team multiplayer product.

The internal adoption data Anthropic shared alongside the launch is striking. Anthropic says that tagging @Claude is now one of the main ways they get things done internally, and that 65 percent of their product team's code is created by their internal version of Claude Tag. That number has real meaning because Anthropic is itself a frontier AI lab with some of the most technically sophisticated engineers in the world, and they are using this tool for the majority of their own product code.

The Slack integration is the natural starting point because collaborative work between teams already happens there. But the architecture described, with separate Claude identities for different channels with scoped memory and access controls, suggests this is being built as a foundation for much broader deployment. The async task handling capability is particularly interesting because it means Claude is not just answering questions but actively pursuing multi-step work independently, which is qualitatively different from any existing enterprise AI tool.
