Claude can now join Slack group DMs and follow threads like a teammate
maxleiter · x · 2026-10-06
Claude can now be added to Slack group DMs the same way you'd add anyone else. It answers in a thread, keeps following that thread, and anyone in the DM can reply there to reach it.
It can also use the personal connectors of whoever is asking, letting it act on your connected tools — a further step toward Claude as a coworker embedded in daily workflows rather than a standalone chatbot.
