Claudia is open-source, made by a S24 YC company https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/asterisk

I definitely thought this was an anthropic thing that they were trying to spin off into it's own website and app for normies. I am not saying it's infringement, I am just saying that my dumb brain made that connection and I feel like it's not unreasonable to assume that other people might as well.

This is exactly why trademarks exist, and why if they want to bother, Anthropic can 100% make them change the name.

Same reason you can't release a handheld console called the Gamegirl, or a voice assistant called Alexis.

Does this sandbox the agents? All I want is a way to keep the agents from writing to and reading from arbitrary places on the filesystem. I want that enforced using operating system primitives rather than a pinky promise with an LLM. It already worries me that the Cursor agents occasionally try to perform operations with full absolute paths, which they wouldn't be able to know if they were properly sandboxed to the c…

Why not just run the assistant as a user with limited permissions? Your OS likely supplies all the handcuffs you're going to need.

> Like during the dawn of web 2.0 we had lots of aggregators and forums instead of "Reddit and others." So, in other words, this is the exact opposite? “Lost of aggregators and forums” meant diversity . Lots of small players doing their own thing. What we have now is a handful of big players, and then tons of small players accessing those services with a different coat of paint. It’s like if the web you mention consi…

So… what we had on web 2 then, with its daily twitter clients? There were hundreds and hundreds of them

On the one hand, it's good that we're seeing a lot of exploration in this space. On the other, the trend seems to be everyone developing a million disparate tools that largely replicate the same functionality with the primary variation being greater-or-lesser lock-in to a particular set of services. This is about the third tool this week I've taken a quick look at and thought "I don't see what this offers me that I d…

And then the providers ship a landmark feature or overhaul themselves. Especially as their models advance.

Wrappers constantly live in the support and feature parity of today.

Anthropic’s Claude Code will look a hell of a lot different a year from now, probably more like an OS for developers and Claude Agent non-tech. Regardless they are eating the stack.

Pricing/usage will be very simple - a fixed subscription and we will no longer know the tokenomics because the provider will have greatly abstracted and optimized the cost per token, favoring a model that they can optimize margin against a fixed revenue floor.

May I know what the other 2 tools are?

Really good idea, I’ll have to try it out. The thing I really want is to have the ability to give a recipe for a new Claude code instance - spin up a docker image with code, data, and a running server and then let Claude work against that.

I've developed a system that checks out a git repo into a docker compose container, tells claude to read a feature story, then implement it with --dangerously-skip-permissions turned on within the container. It work well enough. I think it's another workflow, that might suit your needs, but I think the real magic continues to be in the model. Similarly, I'm sure Claudia adds some nice window dressing. Eventually folk…

I’ve used something similar, it’s a good workflow!
