Am I out of touch here, or is this a crazy entitled view? 'My close-to-free AI agent that can answer most things requires me to copy/paste and contextualise my questions!'. This is incredible compared to even a few years ago, and it…

Also there are a ton of other ways to skin that cat… you could vibe code a Slack plugin to make this work in like 15 minutes.

yes, that's just what I want; The SlopDaddy supreme to make a chat app that will be used by billion-dollar corporations for often sensitive and mission-critical communications. What could possibly go wrong?

Why do you care so much? Do you have life changing equity or are part of the founding team? Or are you just an employee expense line item?

why do you care so little? it only represents thousands of peoples livelihoods.

Also these plugins already exist. How on Earth is this post even getting upvoted right now what in the world is going on here.

My wife and I use a shared Telegram chat to talk to our claw and it seems pretty fine to be honest. It's useful to just see what the other is getting done but it can be pretty noisy. Usually I'm not that interested in the details of it. Telegram doesn't have a threading notion, but Slack does, so it's particularly well-suited to it. Integrating with Slack is much higher friction, but now that I've thought about it, it's a pretty good idea. I guess I went with Telegram because it's free but we already use Slack.

Why ask Anthropic? Why not build on something better like Matrix? Or Signal?[0] Or even Keybase? I really do agree we need to move away from Slack and Discord, but I'm also very confused why the call to action is to Anthropic. IMO we should really be pushing for open systems so that nobody can take it from us. Otherwise we repeat the cycle again and again. There's some good protocols to start on. I'd also say this is…

> something better like Matrix

matrix isn't fun.

The other thing that I would gently point out is that anthropic's uptime is pretty atrocious

This is just crazy. Lets ask the power company to build some trains for us. They transport electricity, they _must_ know about transporting people. They can power the lines themselves! If this was so easy, teams wouldn't suck, matrix would be everywhere, and discord would be replaced already by the furries (as much as stoat is trying).

> matrix would be everywhere

now i know the bar is 1000 feet below the earth with teams but matrix is still only maybe a foot or two above the surface

i really want to like it but every few months i try it and it’s clearly just not ready :(
