Work through it together
The context is already there: a question, a few links, a decision buried in a thread. Mention your Tag where the discussion is happening. Teammates can add a missing detail, question the answer, or take on the next step. Everyone can follow how you got there.
- Turn discussion into action. Pull together decisions, owners, and deadlines; save a checklist or draft a document in your working folder.
- Bring the missing context. Find earlier discussions in approved, indexed Slack history, or use connected tools to find an email or inspect a repository.
- Make it yours. Tag runs on a computer you control using your Codex or Claude Code setup, files, skills, and connected accounts. Your teammates can see the results in Slack.
Your Tag runs from your own agent environment, and only you can invoke it by default. Teammates can bring their own Tag with their own setup. You share the conversation and results, and you decide who can ask your Tag. Learn how access works →
Runs locally, with clear boundaries
Tag's Slack bridge and your Codex or Claude Code agent run on a computer you control, using the files, tools, skills, and accounts you choose to make available.
- Hover does not host your conversations or working files. Your agent workspace and the files Tag creates remain on your computer.
- Your files stay useful outside Tag. They are ordinary files in your working folder, so you can open, edit, move, or reuse them with other tools.
- External services are still external. Slack carries the team conversation; your AI provider, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or an API gateway you choose, processes agent requests; and optional connected services process the information required to use them, each under its own data policies.
Tag is local by design, not offline. See how Tag works →
Bring your Tag to work
Start with a Mac, Windows, or Linux computer that can stay awake and online, an AI connection (Codex, Claude Code, a ChatGPT plan, or an API key), and permission to install a Slack app.
Download Tag for macOS, or get it from GitHub releases. The app for Windows and Linux is coming soon; until then, use the terminal installer below. On first run it installs Tag, then guides you through naming your Tag, choosing its AI model, connecting Slack, and picking channels. Your Tag starts when setup finishes.
Prefer a terminal? Install the tag command, set up, and bring your Tag online:
curl -fsSL https://hover.team/tag/install | sh
tag setup
tag start
tag status
tag stop
Or let your coding agent do it. Install the setup skill (needs Node.js and npm):
# Codex
npx skills add klovr-co/hover-tag --skill hover-tag-setup -a codex -g
# Claude Code
npx skills add klovr-co/hover-tag --skill hover-tag-setup -a claude-code -g
Then open a new session and ask:
Use the hover-tag-setup skill to set up Tag for me.
Follow the setup guide and try your first Slack task →
From a source checkout, run ./install.sh (Windows: ./install.ps1). See
installation for release channels, upgrades from v0.2,
and uninstalling, and installation details
for terminal and source installs.

| What you want to do | Explore |
|---|---|
| Turn attachments and discussions into useful files | Working with files |
| Find context in conversations and approved sources | What Tag knows |
| Bring your tools, skills, and connected accounts | Adding integrations |
| Find an email and share the relevant details in Slack | Use Gmail from Slack |
Tag connects Slack → your local agent → your files and permitted sources. Optional MFS indexing makes approved history and other sources searchable. Tag remembers facts you explicitly ask it to remember, but not every conversation. See how it works →
Early, open source, yours to run
Tag is an early project for experimentation in a trusted environment. Codex and Claude Code are both supported, as are other AI providers through compatible APIs and gateways; each Tag has one model, chosen in the Tag app or the CLI. Your agent runs with local account permissions and inherited bot/MFS credentials; Tag is not a hardened sandbox. Connected services process requests under their own data policies. Read the security model before connecting sensitive accounts or files.
Tag includes privacy-bounded telemetry for setup and reliability in the CLI and
the desktop app. It never collects prompts, Slack messages, agent output, workspace
paths, files, source code, logs, credentials, configuration values, or command
arguments. Use Share usage data in the app's Settings → General, or tag telemetry status,
tag telemetry on, or tag telemetry off, to manage it, or set
TAG_TELEMETRY=off for an immediate process-level stop. Read the full
telemetry and privacy reference.
