Anthropic launches Claude Tag, a multiplayer AI agent for Slack

Anthropic has launched Claude Tag, a new Slack integration designed to function as a multiplayer, proactive, and persistent AI agent for teams. This feature allows Claude to join selected Slack channels, respond to requests asynchronously, and integrate with various tools and codebases. The Claude Code team reported using an internal version of Claude Tag to generate 65% of their product PRs, including the code for Claude Tag itself. Developers can also recreate similar functionalities using tools like Arcade.dev, Python, and Slack Bolt to build their own Slack-based AI agents. AI
