Anthropic has introduced Claude Tag, a new always-on AI integration for Slack that gives enterprise teams a shared, context-aware AI presence directly inside their existing workflows. The feature is rolling out in beta for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers.
Unlike previous on-demand Slack integrations, Claude Tag maintains persistent memory within a channel, allowing it to build cumulative understanding of a team’s work over time. With appropriate permissions, it can also pull context from elsewhere in an organisation by reading other channels, giving it a broader view of ongoing projects and priorities.
Each Claude Tag instance is tied to a specific channel or set of channels defined by system administrators, who also control which tools and information it can access. This scoping ensures that a Claude deployed for legal work, for example, cannot cross-contaminate memory into an engineering channel.
The integration operates in two modes. When assigned a task, it breaks the work into stages, executes using available tools, and reports back in thread. In ambient mode, it proactively surfaces updates, flags relevant information from across the organisation, and follows up on stalled threads without being prompted.
Anthropic positioned Claude Tag as a step toward AI that functions as a genuine colleague, producing visible work with deep organisational context — a capability increasingly central to enterprise AI deployments across the industry.
