In detail
- Admins assign a Claude identity to specific Slack channels; users tag @Claude to delegate tasks in natural language.
- Channel Claudes connect to selected tools, data, and codebases and build context limited to their channel purpose.
- Ambient mode lets @Claude proactively surface information, follow up on stalled threads and run asynchronous tasks over hours or days.
- Enterprise controls include per‑channel tool/data permissions, token limits and full action logs; Anthropic says Claudes won't share from private channels.
