Is this still using Claude Web sessions? Also, has anyone used Claude Web environments to do anything besides stuff with repo access? Like running real environments? SSHing into anything more super powered? Anyone putting real creds into those environments?

That seems to be the biggest limiter, hard to have it do real work on a codebase without it's own environment set up that we can control.

Hopefully there is some sort of version history implemented or planned like they have in Cowork[0]... this sounds great until a co-worker hijacks your Claude session with a worse idea and derails it from what you were intending. [0] "Editing this message will create a new conversation branch. You can switch between branches using the arrow navigation buttons."

I don't think that that's quite what the parent commenter had in mind.

From reading that and materials on it, it seems unclear if – let's say you do what's done in the demos on the site and 'dispatch work' from a thread in a shared channel (e.g. from some discussion) – that if any one of your coworkers replies below you and says, "Actually, could you fold in as well?" that Claude wouldn't listen to them and thus derail the work.

yeah. exactly. they have these "self-hosted sandboxes" which seems to be the unlock we'd need. https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/self-host... but those only seem available to their "managed agents" so like "scheduled prompts" i think. one day i assume they'll merge Claude Web sessions with these self-sandboxes maybe

Hermes can also do this when you connect it to Slack, and having Hermes in slack where multiple teammates can share a context window is indeed nice.

Yeah, there is a level of organizational trust that is required to use this tool (as with any system that allows distributing access via service accounts).

We do signal to Claude that there's a difference between a conversation's initiator versus incoming participants and we've found that in situations where people disagree on an approach, Claude patiently waits for a resolution while correcting any misunderstandings.

It's also worth mentioning that since Claude has its own identity, a coworker cannot enter a thread and commandeer _your_ identity; you collectively steer how Claude acts with its _own_ identity (it opens PRs as itself, browses Datadog as itself, etc).

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.
