Anthropic has released Claude Tag, a new tool designed for team collaboration in Slack. This service allows users to integrate an AI into their work channels as a full-fledged project participant.
Claude Tag can utilize connected databases, programming code, and third-party applications. To assign a task, simply mention the model using @Claude. The AI autonomously breaks down the assignment into steps and executes them in the background.

Key features include:
- Multi-user mode: All channel participants can see Claude's actions and continue conversations initiated by colleagues;
- Context accumulation: The AI remembers discussion details in channels and does not require repeated explanations;
- Proactivity: When in background mode, the AI proactively reports important updates or reminds users of unresolved tasks;
- Autonomy: The model can plan and execute long-term projects over several days.
According to the company, within Anthropic itself, Claude Tag already generates 65% of the programming code. The tool is also used for analyzing metrics and handling support requests.
Administrators can restrict the AI's access to confidential data and set limits on token usage.
The service is currently in beta testing for users on the Claude Enterprise and Team plans. Claude Tag is based on the Opus 4.8 model and replaces the standard Claude app for Slack.
As a reminder, earlier in June, Coinbase launched its own virtual assistant that provides investment recommendations.
