Re: Claude Tag
#122I 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 a…
I built something similar at my org. Users simply connect the agent via OAuth and that inherits all of their permissions, so it acts as them.
What's cooler is then it can view/add/remove people from channels, so it can conduct access reviews -- overall I consider it a security improvement.

#123Just redo Slack already. :-)
I know this is much easier said than done. And my comment is partly tongue-in-cheek.
But Slack isn't great. It isn't loved.
I don't understand why Slack still doesn't have a true single inbox view of all activity.
And their LLM integration is poor, for what feels like one of the clearest use cases for a rich LLM chat experience -- to discuss what's happening in a channel, filter cruft, and ask an agent to take actions against MCP productivity tools like add a todo, etc.
Slack's current AI integrations are piss poor. Just summaries with zero customization. I mean, isn't it obvious that's not good enough?
Eventually a ground-up rethink of Slack in an LLM age is going to displace Slack.
They'll likely survive forever as an enterprise provider, like Microsoft Office and related tools, simply because of integrations, etc.
But Slack feels ripe for disruption.

#124> 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.
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?
From the little I know from my interactions with their staff, it’s something Anthropic sees as critical. They are well aware their API isn’t reliable and that it is and will cause troubles

#125Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
To go after the non-developer side though they need to do a ton more work on governance & RBAC. It's sorely lacking for anything more than a tech company/startup team. You can't even selectively enable or disable Cowork & Claude Code per member on the team plan, it's all or nothing for everyone in the team.
I agree their products are super sloppy, but they are capturing the biz user market. They have the best brand and can clean up later. What other realistic options are there that the CTO can click-ops their access to a great model and put per-person billing limits on? (wouldn't matter, they asked for Claude) We've disabled code for them all, our devs can use their claude enterprise from the CLI if they want.

#126Why Slack? Everything about this product sucks: bad video calls, no meeting recording, limited screen sharing, janky authentication, and predatory pricing.
They shoudl just expose SDK/platform for people to build own integration with Discord/Teams/mattermost etc. This would allow for fine grained permisions control and speed up adoption. To large degree this is alternative for OpenClaw ?
Re: Claude Tag
#127Is 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.)
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 pr…
MS has their own profile of Cowork targeted at your users that presumably will be more enterprisey:

#128Re: Claude Tag
#129Not sure if it’s just me, but with Anthropic, every new feature has metered usage and “unlimited spending” (aka no limit) enabled by default for our team org. So if I activate something (Claude Code, Claude Tag) and don’t actively go to the usage page to set a spending limit, there is no limit.
I’m not surprised Anthropic makes a lot of money. Most people in a typical org probably don’t even know how to check usage. Now, using Claude via Slack will just escalate that even further. And the only models I can use are Opus 4.7 and 4.8 for Claude Tag.
If someone knows how to change the defaults, please let me know.
With OpenAI, it’s the opposite. Everything is part of the plan, and by default there is no extra spending.
