By
Ana Maria Constantin
Summary
Salesforce employees expressed confusion after the company promoted Anthropic's Claude Tag — a new AI product that functions as a persistent teammate inside Slack channels — on social media, despite it competing directly with Salesforce's own Slackbot and Agentforce platform. The situation highlights structural tensions within Salesforce, which acquired Slack for $27.7 billion in 2021 and has been heavily investing in turning Slackbot into an agentic AI system, recently unveiling over 30 new AI features.
