🌟 Today's Spotlight: Tendem

Your AI gets you most of the way.
A vetted human expert finishes the job — without leaving the chat. 

Your AI gets you a decent amount of the way there, then calls it a day. The hard part is telling work that looks right from work that is right.

Tendem connects your AI tool to vetted human experts who can tell the difference — research, data cleanup, design review, copy, the judgment-heavy stuff.

Works with:

• Claude

• Claude Cowork

• ChatGPT

• Cursor

• Codex

and basically anything that takes connectors!

Describe the task in chat, see the price before you pay, approve, and the finished work lands back in the same conversation.

How to Set Up Claude in Slack and Automate Your Team's Workflow

This step-by-step tutorial walks you through exactly how to install and use Claude AI directly inside Slack — turning it from a tab you switch to into a teammate that's already in the room.

Use this if: Your team lives in Slack and you want AI working alongside you in real time, not in a separate window.

💡 Here's what you'll learn:

• Install and authorize Claude in Slack: Walk through the exact steps to add Claude to your workspace as an admin and set up permissions for your channels

• Tag Claude into any conversation: Learn how to @mention Claude in threads, assign it tasks in plain language, and let it break them down and execute automatically

• Connect Claude to your tools: Link Claude to your docs, codebase, calendar, or email so it has the context it needs to actually do the work

• Build async workflows: Set tasks for Claude to complete while your team focuses on other things — and get results posted back in thread

🔥 BREAKING

Claude Just Became Your Team's Newest Coworker

On June 23, Anthropic quietly changed what AI at work looks like.

Claude Tag is live in beta — and it's not a chatbot. It's an AI agent that joins your Slack workspace as a full team member, reads your channels, builds memory over time, and gets things done while you're focused on something else.

Here's what makes it different:

• It's multiplayer. One Claude per channel, shared by the whole team. Anyone can see what it's working on, pick up where someone left off, and delegate new tasks — without re-explaining context from scratch.

• It learns. Claude Tag builds context from everything happening in its channels. Over time, it develops the tacit knowledge of your team — your terminology, your projects, your priorities — so you stop repeating yourself.

• It takes initiative. With Ambient Mode enabled, Claude proactively flags things it thinks you need to know — updates from across connected channels, threads that went quiet, tasks that need a nudge — without being asked.

• It works async. Tag Claude with a task, then go focus on your actual work. It handles the steps, uses the tools it's been connected to, and posts the result back into your thread when it's done.

Anthropic's own product team is already running on it. 65% of their code is now written by their internal version of Claude Tag. 

That number has since spread beyond engineering — product metrics, support tickets, bug investigations — all handled by tagging @Claude in a thread.

Claude Tag is available in beta today for Claude Enterprise and Team customers. The existing Claude in Slack app is being retired on August 3 — Enterprise and Team admins have 30 days to migrate.

📚 Microsoft's 2026 AI in Education Report: Everyone's Using It, Nobody's Training for It — Student AI use jumped 26 percentage points in a single year, with 92% now using AI for schoolwork. Educator use is at 88%. But the gap between adoption and training is stark: 77% of students report no formal AI literacy instruction. Microsoft responded by announcing a free wave of new AI-powered tools built directly into Microsoft 365 Education, including an AI Study Agent, Copilot Notebooks, and a full AI Literacy for Educators credential pathway — all available at no additional cost ahead of ISTELive 26 in Orlando.

🚺 UN Report: AI Systems Are Calling Women Property — A UN Women study analyzed 133 AI systems and found that 44% showed measurable gender bias, with more than a quarter displaying both gender and racial bias simultaneously. When researchers prompted large language models to complete sentences starting with a person's gender, roughly 1 in 5 responses came back sexist or misogynistic. In some cases, AI systems described women as objects or property.
