Anthropic launches Claude Tag, an always-on AI teammate that lives in your Slack channels

Anthropic has launched Claude Tag in research preview, an always-on AI teammate that lives inside Slack channels for Claude Enterprise and Team customers. Unlike previous on-demand Slack integrations, Claude Tag maintains persistent context and memory across conversations, accumulating institutional knowledge over time. It features an ambient mode that proactively monitors assigned channels and intervenes to flag updates, surface relevant information, or follow up on forgotten tasks — without waiting to be explicitly asked. Each Claude identity is admin-scoped to specific channels and tools, preventing cross-team data leakage. The launch positions Anthropic directly against Microsoft Copilot's Work IQ and enterprise AI startups like Viktor and Glean in the race to own organizational context. Privacy implications of an always-listening workplace AI remain a key concern for enterprise adoption.
