Anthropic was officially released on June 23Claude Tag——An AI “colleague” deeply embedded in Slack. Different from the previous "DM @Claude"Or" ask a question in the channel" mode,Claude Tag is designed as aTeam members who are always online, have memories, and can actively participate in conversations. This may be a qualitative change in the enterprise AI collaboration experience in 2026.
Claude What exactly can Tag do?
Simply put, the administrator configures aClaude Tag instance, specify which channels, tools and data sources it can access, then anyone on the team can@Claudeto assign tasks.ClaudeThe task will be broken down into stages, completed step by step and the progress reported in Slack posts.

Why is this important?
Claude The essence of Tag is not to "put a Chatbot in a chat tool", butLet AI enter the "background" of enterprise workflow. It is not waiting for you to ask questions, but continues to observe, learn, and prepare - this is the key step for enterprise AI to upgrade from "tool" to "colleague".
Currently, Microsoft Copilot+Graph, Glean, Snowflake, etc. are also competing for the "enterprise context" track. Anthropic chose to launch on Slack, the world's most mainstream enterprise communication platform, obviously targeting the largest "AI entrance" for enterprise users.
