Anthropic has introduced Claude Tag, a new Slack-based feature that allows teams to assign tasks to Claude directly within shared channels. The tool is rolling out in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, positioning it as a collaborative way to manage workflows while keeping projects moving in the background.

Claude Tag integrates into specific Slack channels, connecting to approved tools and data sources. Users can tag @Claude to initiate tasks, and the model maintains context from the channel to return results in a thread. The system functions as a shared teammate, allowing any team member to view its activity and continue requests where others left off.

An optional "ambient" mode enables Claude to proactively surface updates, flagging relevant information from connected channels and tools. Administrators retain control over channel access, tool permissions, and data visibility, with configurations designed to prevent cross-team memory sharing. Admins can also enforce usage limits and review activity logs detailing Claude's actions and request initiators.

Anthropic reports that 65% of its product team’s code is generated by an internal version of Claude Tag. Beyond engineering, teams use the system for tasks such as retrieving product numbers, managing support queues, and debugging.

Claude Tag replaces the previous Claude in Slack app, with a 30-day opt-in migration window for administrators. Eligible Enterprise and Team organizations will receive a launch credit, and the feature operates on the Opus 4.8 model. Anthropic plans to expand availability to other work environments in the future.

In a separate development, Anthropic announced results from a rerun of its "Project Fetch" robotics test. The company stated that its newer Claude models outperformed the previous generation, with Opus 4.7 completing tested objectives roughly 20 times faster than the fastest human teams.

Anthropic opened a Seoul office and announced a series of partnerships across South Korea’s artificial intelligence ecosystem as the Claude developer expands its presence in Asia. As the company prepares for a public listing, Anthropic identified South Korea as one of Claude’s most active markets globally, with usage concentrated in technical and creative work. The international expansion comes as Anthropic seeks to restore access to some of its most advanced AI models following a new export-control order.

Public and Private Sector Partnerships

Anthropic signed a memorandum of understanding with South Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT to collaborate on public-sector AI adoption, model safety testing, and efforts to address AI-related cybersecurity threats. Major South Korean business groups are deploying Claude through affiliates including LG CNS, Hanwha Solutions, and Samsung SDS. Employees at these firms are using the AI assistant for software development, knowledge work, and enterprise operations.

Internet giant NAVER is using Claude Code to accelerate software development, while Nexon has deployed Claude across game development workflows.

Academic and Startup Initiatives

Anthropic will work with South Korea’s National AI Research Lab to provide Claude access to about 60 researchers working on AI safety, model evaluation, alignment, and frontier AI research. As part of its expansion, the company is holding its first Seoul Builder Summit with AI startup Coxwave, aimed at developers, startups, and businesses using Claude. The ‘Claude for Startups’ program is currently live in the country, providing early-stage companies with model credits, technical support, and access to Anthropic’s AI tools.

The Seoul office will be headed by Kiyoung Choi, who joined Anthropic in May as Representative Director of Korea from Snowflake Inc.
