## Definition

Claude Tag is Anthropic's multiplayer AI agent for Slack, launched June 23, 2026. It replaces the previous Claude-in-Slack integration by giving every channel a persistent @Claude identity that any team member can tag, observe, and hand off — not a per-user chatbot but a shared teammate.

Unlike the earlier single-user Claude Slack app (retired August 3, 2026), [Claude Tag](https://www.anthropic.com/news/introducing-claude-tag) runs on Opus 4.8, builds cumulative channel memory, executes multi-step tasks asynchronously over hours or days, and pings the team proactively when a job stalls or finishes. Anthropic reports that 65% of its own product-team code is now generated by an internal version of the tool.

## Analogy

Think of it as hiring a contractor who sits in every Slack channel, reads the backlog, and starts working the moment you @mention them.

## Why it's emerging now

Anthropic launched Claude Tag on June 23, 2026, pivoting from a per-user Slack assistant to a shared channel agent that every teammate can see, task, and continue — replacing the old app entirely. The 65% internal code-generation stat positions this as Anthropic's proof of enterprise-grade agentic ROI.
