I think all the retail LLM's are working to broaden the available context, but in most practical use-cases it's having the ability to minimize and filter the context that would produce the most value. Even a single PDF with too many similar datapoints leads to confusion in output. They need to switch gears from the high growth, "every thing is possible and available" narrative, to one that narrows the scope. The "hal…

This is my concern as well. How successful is it in selecting the correct tool out of hundreds or thousands?

Different to what this integration is pushing, the LLMs usage in production based products where high accuracy is a requirement (99%), you have to give a very limited tool set to get any degree of success.

I feel dumb but how do you actually add Zapier or Confluence or custom MCP on the web version of claude? I only see it for Drive/Gmail/Github. Is it zoned/slow release?

This part seems relevant:

> in beta on the Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, and will soon be available on Pro

Is it just me that would like to see more of confirmations before making opaque changes to remote systems?

I might not dare to add an integration if it can potentially add a bunch of stuff to the backing systems without my approval. Confirmations and review should be part of the protocol.

The integrations feel so rag-ish. It talks, tells you it’s going to use a tool, searches, talks about what it found… Hope one day it will be practical to do nightly finetunes of a model per company with all core corporate data stores. This could create a seamless native model experience that knows about (almost) everything you’re doing.

why is finetuning talked about so much less than RAG? is it not viable at all?

RAG is infinitely more accessible and cheaper than finetuning. But it is true that finetuning is getting severely overlooked in situations where it would outperform alternatives like RAG.

Is this the beginning of the apps for everything era and finally the SaaS for your LLM begins? Initially we had internet but value came when instead of installed apps, webapps arrived to become SaaS.

On one hand, yes this is very cool for a whole host of personal uses. On the other hand giving any company this level of access to as many different personal data sources as are out there scares the shit out of me. I’d feel a lot better if we had something resembling a comprehensive data privacy law in the United States because I don’t want it to basically be the Wild West for anyone handling whatever personal info d…

Absolutely agreed, but just wanted to mention that it's essentially the same level of access you would give to Zapier, which is one of their top examples of MCP integrations.

I think with MCPs and related tech, if Apple just internally went back to the drawing board and integrated the concept of MCPs directly into iOS (via the "Apple Intelligence" umbrella) and seamlessly integrated it into the App Store and apps, they will win the mobile race for this. Being Apple, they would have to come up with something novel like they did with push (where you have _one_ OS process running that delega…

Do you really think Apple can catch up with and then surpass all these SOTA AI labs?

They bet big and got distracted on VR. It was obviously the wrong choice at the time, and even more so now. They're going to have to abandon all that VR crap and pivot hard to AI to try and catch up. I think the more likely case is they can't catch up now and will just have to end up licensing Gemini from Google/Google paying them to use Gemini as the default AI.

Yeah, this was my first thought. I was watching the video of it creating all of these Jira tickets just thinking in my head: "I hope it just did all that correctly." I think the level of patience with my team would be very low if I started running an LLM that accidentally deleted a bunch of really important tickets.

I'd love a _tip jar_ MCP, where the LLM vendor can automatically tip my website for using its content/feature/service in a query's response. Even if the amount is absolutely minuscule, in aggregate, this might make up for ad revenue losses.

Well I had half a mind to not tell them to see what they’d say, but I also was excited to show everyone so they can also be empowered with it. One of them said “yeah I was wondering cuz you never write that much” - as a leader, I actually don’t set a good example of how to leave quality JIRA comments. And my view with all these things is that I have to lead by example, not by orders. With the help of these kinds of t…

Notice they commented on the quantity, not the quality? I don't think it's good leadership to unleash drivel on an organisation, have people waste time reading and perhaps replying to it, thinking it's something important and thoughtful coming from atonse. Good thing you told them though, now they can ignore it.

It sure seems like the next evolution of Jira though. Designed to waste everyones time, picked by "leaders" that don't use it. Why not spam tickets with LLM drivel? They are perfect to pick up on all the inconsistency in the PM insanity driven custom designed workflow - and comment on it tagging a bunch of stray people seen in the ticket history, the universal exit hatch.

Why use JIRA at this point then? Can’t we point an LLM to a sqlite db and tell it to treat it as an issue tracking db and have everyone do the same. The service (jira) would materialize inside the LLMs then. Why even use abstractions like tickets etc. Ask LLM what to do.

JIRA is more than just ticket management for most big orgs. It provides a reporting interface for business with long-term planning capabilities. A lot of the annoying things that devs have to do in JIRA is often there to make those functions more valuable. In other cases it is a compliance thing as well. Some certifications necessary for enterprise sales require audit trails for all code changes, from the bug report…

Exactly, applying the principle of Chesterton's Fence [0].
