Estimated time savings for a team of 5 running 10 or more research questions per week
Claude Tag launched this week in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers. The product premise is simple: @Claude joins your Slack workspace, anyone can tag it with a task in any channel, and Claude works through it asynchronously while your team focuses on something else.
The highest-ROI use case to set up in your first week is a dedicated research channel. Not general-purpose AI requests. A specific channel where the team drops research questions throughout the week and Claude works through them, delivering formatted outputs in each thread.
A team of 5 asking 2 research questions each per week, each averaging 30 minutes to research manually, recovers 5 hours of collective time per week from this one setup. The time to configure it: about 45 minutes.

The guide includes the full setup steps, prompt templates, and data-source configuration.
The Setup: 45 Minutes From Zero to Running
Prerequisites: Claude Enterprise or Team plan, Slack workspace, admin access to both.
Step 1 (10 minutes): Pair Claude Tag with Slack. In the Claude admin console at claude.ai, navigate to Claude Tag settings. Connect your Slack workspace via OAuth. You will see a list of channels Claude can join. Do not add it to everything. Start with one channel.
Step 2 (10 minutes): Create the #ai-research channel. In Slack, create a new channel named #ai-research or #team-research. Invite the team members who will use it. Write a one-paragraph pinned message explaining the purpose: this channel is for research questions. Tag @Claude with your question and a requested format. It will respond in the thread.
Step 3 (15 minutes): Connect data sources. Back in the Claude admin console, grant Claude Tag access for this channel only to: (a) web search, and (b) one internal document store (Google Drive, Notion, or SharePoint, whichever holds your team's reference docs). Do not connect everything. One external, one internal is the right starting configuration.
