AI Quick Tips 369: Have you heard of Claude Tag (aka @Claude)?

If you currently use Claude in Slack, you will also want to know about this (since Claude Tag is replacing Claude in Slack).

This is a new-ish way to interact with Claude. Anthropic’s vision with this is to have Claude join your team communication (Slack for now) as a team member. Anyone who is in the same Slack channel as Claude can assign tasks to “@Claude”.

Claude can use anything else in the channel to gather context to plan and carry out tasks for the team.

If you already use Slack then this will probably feel as natural as tagging another team member or person in your Slack channels.

Anthropic points out several advantages to having this kind of access to Claude -

• Claude will work asynchronously
• You can assign it a task, like you would to a direct report, and it will work on it while you do something else
• Everyone else in the channel can see what Claude is doing, what output it produces, and they can add context when needed
• Claude will be able to learn over time based on what information is in the channel
• It can gather information from other channels as well if allowed
• Claude can be configured to also take proactive actions
• I.e. update you on what it thinks you need to know, remind you about threads that haven’t been resolved (that might have been forgotten about), etc.

Initially, Claude Tag will be available to Claude Enterprise and Claude Team customers. If you have either of those plans, you should have access to the beta version of Claude Tag right now.

As I mentioned initially, this will be replacing Claude in Slack. According to Claude support documentation, Claude in Slack was switched over to Claude Tag on August 3, 2026.
