Anthropic, the AI research company, has introduced Claude Tag, a research preview version of its AI assistant Claude. Claude Tag is an always-on AI teammate that can be accessed by typing @Claude in Slack channels. This feature allows users to provide insights in chats and assign tasks to Claude, which can then gather information from elsewhere in the organization and follow up on tasks.

The access to tools, information, and channels for each Claude identity is tightly controlled by system administrators. This ensures that a Claude set up for legal work, for example, cannot seed memories into the engineering channel.

Claude Tag is available in research preview on Slack for Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers. The feature aims to provide persistent context and memory in Slack channels, allowing users to see what Claude has been working on and pick up conversations from where others left off.

Anthropic's CEO has stated that Claude Tag learns ever more about the work as it follows along with its channel. This means that users will have less need to explain things to Claude over time, as it becomes more familiar with the work being done in the channel.
