Inside Anthropic: How Claude Tag Is Changing Agentic Work

Six people reacted to Boris's side-project Slack post. A year later, Claude Code is ubiquitous, and the company just launched its next evolution: Claude Tag, an AI teammate that lives in Slack. Lamis Mukta, Member of Technical Staff at Anthropic, joins Simon Maple to unpack how Claude Tag works, why Anthropic built it, and what it took internally to go from a scrappy side project to a company-wide habit. What we cover: – What Claude Tag actually is, and how it differs from Claude Code and Cowork – Why trust in AI agents is really a function of model capability, not just comfort – The internal "dogfooding" culture that shaped Claude Code and Claude Tag – How Anthropic secures multiplayer AI with agent identities and channel-level permissioning – Where Claude and Claude Tag show up outside of engineering at Anthropic – Dreaming: how Anthropic's managed agents continually improve their own memory Watch Lamis' talk from AI Native DevCon London 2026 here: https://youtu.be/tTcxVv8HHNw Chapters: 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:01:46 - Meet Lamis Mukta from Anthropic 00:02:56 - What is Claude Tag? 00:10:07 - From single-player to multiplayer agentic coding 00:15:50 - Trust, capability, and the METR chart 00:21:02 - How the industry is really using Claude Code 00:26:33 - The Claude Code origin story 00:33:47 - Agent identities and permissioning at scale 00:40:23 - Claude beyond engineering at Anthropic 00:48:16 - Dreaming and practical tips for rolling out Claude Tag 🌐 Tessl: https://tessl.io 🔔 Subscribe for weekly episodes on AI-native development What's the one thing your team would delegate to an AI teammate first?
