Anthropic launches Claude Tag as a Slack-native enterprise agent

TechCrunch reported that Anthropic is introducing Claude Tag, a Slack-native enterprise AI service available in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers. Claude Tag lets users mention @Claude inside a channel, but adds persistent channel context, scoped memory, admin-controlled access, and the ability to gather facts from approved organizational tools. The system can work through assigned tasks in stages, post progress back into threads, and use an ambient mode to surface reminders or relevant updates. Anthropic is positioning it as a move from one-off chat help toward shared workplace agents that understand team context.
