Claude Tag is Anthropic's new Slack-native agent that teams delegate work to by tagging @Claude, and it already writes 65% of Anthropic's own product-team code. On June 23, 2026, Anthropic launched Claude Tag in beta as a way to delegate work directly inside Slack. Anthropic's own product team already writes 65% of its code with an internal version, the agent runs on Opus 4.8 and remembers per-channel context, and it opens first to Claude Enterprise and Team customers. ASAP summarizes the announcement from the primary source.

Anthropic's product team writes 65% of its code with Claude

Anthropic's product team writes 65% of its code with the internal Claude Tag version, the company says. Claude Tag runs on Opus 4.8 and builds context over time, so it does not need repeated explanations to keep working. Instead of answering a single question, it plans and completes delegated tasks on its own.

You delegate work by tagging @Claude in Slack

Claude Tag joins a Slack channel as a team member and is called with the @Claude tag. It is multiplayer, so within a given channel there is one Claude that interacts with everyone, and it builds context once users grant access to channels, tools, data, and codebases. With "ambient" behavior enabled, it flags relevant information and follows up on unresolved tasks.

Per-channel memory, permissions, and monthly spend limits

Administrators control access to sensitive data and tools by channel, creating separate Claude identities for different uses. Sales and engineering instances do not share information, and memories and data stay scoped to the defined channels. Administrators can set monthly spend limits at both organization and channel levels.

A beta for Enterprise and Team, with 30 days for existing users

Claude Tag started its beta on June 23, 2026 for Claude Enterprise and Team customers. Existing "Claude in Slack" users have 30 days to opt in, and eligible Enterprise and Team organizations receive launch credits. Anthropic says it aims to expand beyond Slack to other platforms.

What it means: AI shifts from answering questions to async teammate

Claude Tag is a sign that AI is shifting from answering one-off questions to being an async teammate that builds context and schedules its own work. The 65% figure comes from internal dogfooding, so results may differ in other environments. That makes the per-channel controls on permissions and cost just as important as the capability itself.

Wrap-up

Anthropic launched Claude Tag, a Slack-native teammate agent, in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team. Writing 65% of its product team's code, running on Opus 4.8, per-channel memory and monthly spend limits, and a 30-day window for existing users are the core. AI is moving from one-off answers to async teammate.
