Comment from 23 Jun 2026 in “Claude Tag” Good user experience, new paradigm
“It really is a different paradigm that you have to experience.”
Comment from 23 Jun 2026 in “Claude Tag” “I think Claude Tag nailed the user experience here”

What people warn about
Each mark is one comment
Metered usage, unlimited spending by default
“every new feature has metered usage and “unlimited spending” (aka no limit) enabled by default”
Comment from 23 Jun 2026 in “Claude Tag” “Claude Tag could actually be really useful. Unfortunately, it's too much of a black hole for money.”
Comment from 29 Sep 2026 in “Dots: Always-on agents” Privacy and compliance concerns
“feeding it into a shared agent basically means that you can't guarantee that privacy”
Comment from 23 Jun 2026 in “Claude Tag” “I don't understand how this is gonna fly for enterprise security and compliance”

“an easier way of doing things we could probably do with custom scripts”
“Claude Tag could actually be really useful. Unfortunately, it's too much of a black hole for money.”
“I think Claude Tag nailed the user experience here”
“A self-hostable Claude Tag or OAI Work [0].”
“a single query can run over a dollar”
“its permissions have to be all-encompassing”
“it uses shared credentials”
“I think this is the right direction.”
“As long as they advertise it as proactive it needs to keep up to date with all the ongoing discussions.”
“Claude gains knowledge across systems and makes the ai enhancements for each app/system unnecessary.”
“Which is a bad pattern. Around here, you can be granted access to most channels just with vague reasons for why you need to be in there.”
“Lots of companies will just enable it and voila they'll have claude in slack.”
“every new feature has metered usage and “unlimited spending” (aka no limit) enabled by default”
“overall I consider it a security improvement”
“from a company that has its products vibe-coded is hardly a worthy measurement”
“that is one installation of a GH app, which means one identity, one list of repos it can access”
“It really is a different paradigm that you have to experience.”
“I don't understand how this is gonna fly for enterprise security and compliance”
“The last thing I want is claude chipping into a convo Clippy-style.”
“claude-slackbot automatically remembering sounds like it'll be company wide AI slop?”
“And yet, the product made something really unreliable.”
“The killer feature here is an auto assembling todo list, punchlist, project management.”
“can you bring the API down for a couple of hours?”
“Anthropic's slack bot here is also at a disadvantage being slack only.”
“Given the reliability and general product quality of the Anthropic product team's code, this doesn't sound like a selling point.”
“we actually want the OPPOSITE”
“So it seems underwhelming, this is a win for non-devs I supposed”
“Yeah, that explains a lot.”
“They are still behind current Agents mainstream IMHO”
“delivering this garbage chat integration”
“feeding it into a shared agent basically means that you can't guarantee that privacy”
“this sounds great until a co-worker hijacks your Claude session with a worse idea”
“But definitely not whatever the hell this is, how can anthropic make products so much worse”
“for 8,000 USD / month, no thanks.”
“A bit strange to create a brand name for "I tagged the slack app I want to interact with"”
