| I'm shocked that YC hasn't advised them that this name is terrible. It actively breaks trust by trying to piggyback on Anthropic's tool naming. |

| ▲ | Void_ 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Lots of apps named after the Whisper model (including mine - https://whispermemos.com/) I wonder if I'll have to rename at some point. | | |
| ▲ | lioeters 4 days ago | parent [-] | | If you're adding another word, it sounds more differentiated than Claude to Claudia. I was among the many who thought this was an official product from the makers of Claude. It's like if your product was called Whisperer. |

| ▲ | verdverm 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | More than that, the peer comments would support trademark issues |

| Wow, I thought it was an official app. Now I wonder what telemetry or even conversation data I have just sent offsite. As others have said, this is a giant red flag. |

| 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. |
| |
| ▲ | mirsadm 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I also made the assumption. Once I found out it wasn't it was a huge red flag. I don't like it at all. | |
| ▲ | iamflimflam1 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Agreed - I was about to send this round to my colleagues. For once reading the comments first has paid off! | |
| ▲ | IshKebab 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | 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. | |
| ▲ | type0 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Once Anthropic starts receiving a wave of support tickets they would be forced to change their name, CLAUDia is just a misspelled ClaudAi | |
| ▲ | time0ut 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Oh wow. I thought it was anthropic even after skimming the site. The color scheme and styling is pretty similar. That feels a little slimy. | |
| ▲ | mirekrusin 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Same here, first thing I did was to scroll down to see company in the footer and nope... somebody will be receiving legal letters soon I'd guess. | |

| ▲ | tibbon 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Same. But of course, I checked the GitHub first, and I really dislike this confusion. I don't trust someone with my AI tools that's acting like they are trying to trick me into giving them sensitive access. Nope. |

| ▲ | nextworddev 4 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Hosted version… like every oss project… | | | |
| ▲ | bigyabai 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Step 1: Manufacture a bunch of low-quality "good enough" codebases Step 2: Turn around and sell security-as-a-service to the most profitable products | |
| ▲ | mirekrusin 4 days ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The only way there is to make money - from VCs. | |
| ▲ | giovannibonetti 4 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | It seems to be a side-gig to bring attention to their company. Well done. |
