Salesforce and Anthropic have announced Claude Tag, a new way to bring Anthropic’s intelligence directly into Slack’s agentic operating system. By simply typing @Claude in any channel, users can instantly loop in an extra set of AI hands to collaborate on workflows, requests, and ideation in real time.
The main points:
-
An Ambient Colleague in Action: On Slack, @Claude now acts like an employee with its own account and credentials. It actively reads permitted channels, retains context, and connects directly to your tools and codebases to write or merge pull requests. You tag @Claude into a thread, it does the work in public view, and tags you back when it’s done.
-
Multiplayer AI: It turns AI into a public team member in Slack. The whole channel sees the work, builds on it, and redirects it in real time; no more siloed windows open on the side.
-
The Dual-Agent Advantage: Slack is the only platform where teams can use Slackbot and @Claude together. While Slackbot provides the out-of-the-box, context-rich experience for the full workforce and retains memory and knowledge across the entire org, @Claude offers a specialised option for teams who need a technical agent for developer work, specific requests and workflows within a Slack channel.
Together the two companies are bringing a collaborative new teammate into the flow of work and building the future of multiplayer AI.
Commenting on the news Rob Seaman, EVP & GM of Slack, explained:
“Slack is the only layer in the AI stack where teams work together. Bringing Claude Tag into Slack is about making AI multiplayer. Instead of a private back-and-forth, Claude Tag shows up in the open – in your channels, alongside your team – where it can see the real context of how your organisation works and make the whole company smarter in the process. This virtuous cycle of sharing context, building together, and generating more context is how enterprises will finally move faster, compete differently, and make AI work at real scale.”
