Anthropic launches Claude Tag for Slack team collaboration with ambient monitoring

According to The Register and Anthropic's announcement, Anthropic released Claude Tag, a Slack-based feature allowing teams to use Claude as a collaborative member with access to designated channels, tools, data, and codebases. Claude Tag replaces the existing Claude in Slack connector (deprecated August 3) and maintains longer context across multiple conversations than its predecessor. Anthropic stated that 65 percent of its product team's code is now written by Tag, which can schedule follow-up work and operate in Ambient mode to proactively surface updates and unresolved discussions.
