Claude Tag: Anthropic Turns @Claude Into a Persistent Slack Teammate
Claude Tag is not just a chatbot that lives in Slack. Announced by Anthropic on June 23, 2026, it embeds Claude directly inside Slack channels as a persistent, shared teammate that anyone on a team can delegate work to by typing @Claude. The shift matters because Claude is no longer a tool you open in a separate tab and prompt from scratch each time. It sits where the team already works, keeps context across people and days, and can act on its own when allowed.
