  • A bit strange to create a brand name for "I tagged the slack app I want to interact with"

  • They learned from the best. "Retina Display"

  • I’d be curious how they’ve solved the attribution/provenance/identity problem here. Are instances of Claude Tag, across channels, sharing the same identity? Can I grant one instance access to a range of AWS roles and another instance access to other roles?

    During an incident, how do I know which Claude Tag called AWS?

  • This is explicitly answered in this post:

    > Think of it as creating separate Claude identities for different uses: everything, including its memories, will stay scoped to the channels defined by the administrators. For example, a model set up for sales work won’t pass on memories to one set up for engineering; nor will it give engineers access to any sales data or tools. More information about provisioning access is available here (https://claude.com/blog/agent-identity-access-model).

  • Cursor has had this a while, integrated with their web agents. It was a bit buggy to begin with, not working well with non-github repos, but it was improving last time I checked and was pretty decent.

    The best part for me is seeing non-technical folk spec out something in a thread that they discussed something and letting the agent go ahead and build it ready for the humans to review later.

  • It feels like they release 1 or 2 "products" a week and then we never hear about them again.

  • If they find another success half as good as Claude Code it will all be worthwhile. (Monetarily good, not like, quality good)

  • > Today, 65% of our product team’s code is created by our internal version of Claude Tag.

    Given the reliability and general product quality of the Anthropic product team's code, this doesn't sound like a selling point.

    by nozzlegear
  • And this is their circular reasoning of their valuation.

    “See, here is our company made to worth X by our product, because it can make a company worth X.”

    And yet, the product made something really unreliable.

    And nobody bats an eye on the market.

    But hey, SpaceX successfully sold that they would generate 30 trillion dollars of revenue.

  • How much do you think it’s holding them back? Market share seems to be surviving the lack of quality vs the other players.

    Or possibly: they’re focusing where it matters?

  • How are Anthropic's production applications poor quality? Other than memory use (which unfortunately is the industry standard nowadays) Claude Code is pretty solid.

  • I was going say the same thing. Today someone must have slacked `@claude can you bring the API down for a couple of hours?`
    by pelf
  • I read this as "Claude integration to Slack is now billed as API usage". Is that wrong?
    by ratherbefuddled
  • nailed it.

  • Is someone here using a Claude product that's not code? I'm puzzled about the amount of products they put out. I know a lot of people using Claude but we're all using the terminal-based code. Even for non-engineering stuff it suits great (tax documents, 3D modeling with blender through MCP, academic research, etc.)

  • Lots of people use design

  • I use design. It's nice enough for me.

  • Our entire org migrated from random ChatGPT accounts to all Claude Desktop specifically targetting business users. So a lot of non-dev teams in our org see it as essential.

  • They're pretty much going the Google (how Google was until recently), trying to fan out to every market share.

    I expect many of those to be shut down sooner than later, if learning anything from Google.

  • They are going after the non-developer side of the business. Many developers are far less sticky and want to try out different harnesses and models. Case in point, our biz team all has Claude Desktop / Enterprise, developers get choice and there are a lot of setups.

  • At my work we rolled out Cowork to all the non-technical staff. People are using a ton, wired up for read access to M365, Confluence, etc. as sort of a psuedo enterprise RAG + all the document creation/file management it can do.

    I know my users would actually like Claude Tag, but unfortunately we are in Teams, not Slack, as are most other non-tech companies.

    Cowork/Claude Desktop itself is also quite a frustrating product. There's no native audit log unless you basically wire up your own with the API & a log aggregator. You can't selectively enable Claude Code access per team member, it's all or nothing. Some of the MCP connections (like QuickBooks Online) don't do RBAC at all, it's all or nothing for every user in the team.

    Maybe enterprise isn't their target market, but they do keep making features that make it seem like they want that market. But if they do, they really need to step up work on governance features & RBAC for specific features and settings per member in the team.

    If they don't, Microsoft will eat their lunch for enterprise non-programming use.

  • I use Claude Desktop (& essentially equivalent mobile app) to ask frivolous aspie questions about things society long ago accepted. I enjoy its responses, interpret how you wlll. (my claude.md file has instructions to tell it that the premise of any question i ask is as likely as not wrong, and to never be sycophantic). But beware the userMemories file (ask Claude to give you a dump of it). bonus points if you can figure out where that file lives. At first I was freaked out that usermemories is a subpoena’able psychological profile on me. Then I realized that the same file will be produced for spooks all over Langley, so that the day Anthropic gets hacked those profiles will see the light of day (caveat along with the rest of the user base of course) and so I felt more catharsis as a result.

  • And it sometimes feels like these teams are not talking to each other. Using Claude Design? The way to hand it over to Claude Code is to download a .zip file with the html mockup and some description, which you then have to copy into Claude Code so it can use it.

  • WRT “Claude learns over time” - this is the biggest gap for me in the current system. As I scale my usage of Claude at work, I observe that it’s quite bad at distinguishing what it should “learn” (memorize) from experimental or just wrong data. It builds and builds on a foundation of sand, making sometimes hidden assumptions and turning them into actionable insight thats just not correct.

    It recently wrote an entire dissertation for an epic, assuming it was related to some other project, where it had earlier made the wrong guess about a vendor capability (from their marketing materials, no less), and it all had to be thrown away. I cleared the memory, but it appears to be still pulling from some corporate data source i cant control or locate.

    by threecheese
  • I think memory has very little benefit from non-curated sources. its just a source of halucinatd context and bloated. I think focused work on context removal integrated in the tools would be much better.

    Especially in the thinking models; with opencode qnd local LLM. i've got no choice at times but to review the thought traces and if I could go in and correct a few of them before they go do what stupid shit they're hallucinating, I'd reach much better outcomes then fightint with them.

    by cyanydeez
  • I don't understand how this is gonna fly for enterprise security and compliance. Claude needs to inherit permissions from somewhere, and those permissions will never align with the members of a slack channel. And finding the lowest common denominator of access probably results in a dumbed-down, useless experience.

    The only way it works is if customers truly start treating agents as humans with the same liability as an employee.

    by SAK_ATAK
  • What permissions? I believe this does not actually _modify_ anything, just creates PRs. _Humans_ merge them.
    by KptMarchewa
  • An admin scopes permissions on a per-channel basis. It doesn't allow external actions until an owner specifically provisions that tool for that channel. I think.

    But people can be invited to a channel after @Claude is provisioned. So yeah, I suppose you'll need to be deliberate about channel memberships.
