| We ought to rename HN to "The Claude Blog". This is a minor feature update to a slack plugin. |

| I spoke with a (potentially biased) member of technical staff @ Anthropic today who claimed that tags w/ multi-player capability is the biggest thing they've shipped since Claude Code. |

| ▲ | 48terry 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Is this the same Anthropic speaking as the one that's constantly terrified their newest thing is too dangerous and might destroy humanity (now available for $20/month or pay-as-you-go usage credits)? | |
| ▲ | ctoth 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | As someone who has Claude and Codex both bridged into a MOO along with other humans I can 100% believe this. It really is a different paradigm that you have to experience. Of course a MOO is already set up for social programming, so it will be interesting to see what platforms evolve (or find themselves coming round again) to facilitate this. | |
| ▲ | giancarlostoro 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Effort wise probably, but Slack is... not where everyone is... So it seems underwhelming, this is a win for non-devs I supposed, what would have made this more fascinating is if this was a follow up to Claude Design, which in my opinion could have been as big as Claude Code, or even bigger, but it has its own token usage that burned so quickly, not sure how much of general token usage it takes now though. | | |
| ▲ | thewebguyd 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Or even Cowork, aim it at non-technical roles. Back and forth chat within a team to collaborate on documents, files, excel sheets, etc. Although I suppose the problem with doing it for Cowork is this is a slack plugin, and that is not where most non-tech companies are. Teams is, at 320+ million active users vs. ~50 million. Everyone hates Teams, but like or not that is where enterprise work happens, not slack. Anthropic would do well to make their Microsoft 365/Teams integration story better and go after enterprise before OpenAI does, or before Microsoft catches up (if they ever do) with Copilot. | |
| ▲ | DonsDiscountGas 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Probably if we look apps used for work chat I would think slack represents a plurality (and maybe majority) of current Claude users. Teams is probably next (or maybe beats it in terms of raw usage) but I bet integration with slack is easier. | |

| At any given time, Claude content is like 1 or 2 links out of 30. Which is a lot for one product but I think you're exaggerating a bit. |

| It's a major rewrite of the slack plugin, with far more functionality and more capabilities. More surfaces will be available in the future |
| |
| ▲ | prodigycorp 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I suppose. But we don't see the rewrite. That's for you. I think that people see the word "claude" and smash the upvote button. I don't think it's botted. My guess is that people just want another place where they can discuss ai coding workflows. | |
| ▲ | k4rli an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | "Major rewrite" from a company that has its products vibe-coded is hardly a worthy measurement. |

| I wouldn't call this minor. The 2 big features seem to be integrated memory + ambient proactiveness. This requires pretty intense tuning to not be annoying. |

| I do my part by flagging all Anthropic (and OpenAI, Gemini) announcements by default. I invite anyone who feels similarly to join me. |
