Anthropic launched Claude Tag, a persistent AI teammate for Slack, available now in beta for Enterprise and Team customers. The upgrade replaces the previous Claude in Slack app, allowing team members to summon the AI with @Claude for coding assistance-analysis, bug fixes, PR reviews-all within existing channels, drawing context from real-time conversations.
Claude Tag marks Anthropic’s push deeper into enterprise infrastructure, competing with Microsoft’s Copilot in Teams and Google’s Gemini in Workspace. The launch underscores the company’s meteoric rise: after funding from FTX in 2022, Anthropic recently reached a $965 billion valuation in May 2026 following a $65 billion round. Tokenized shares trade under the ANTHROPIC ticker.
The FTX connection adds irony: a startup once backed by crypto’s biggest collapse is now approaching a trillion-dollar valuation, while the bankruptcy estate’s Anthropic holdings have become a prized asset. The beta is live now for eligible plans.
