We're launching Claude Tag today. Tag Claude into Slack and it works in channel with you. It’s proactive, multiplayer, with its own identity and memory. But it’s not just a bot in Slack. Over the last few months, it’s totally changed how we use Claude

We flew @JetBlue on Friday and they broke our stroller. Because we didn’t file a claim within 4 hours *at the airport* they refuse to compensate us for the damages and offered a $25 travel credit instead. Anyone have advice for how to deal with this?

Hey @Delta , please send help. I’m at the check-in counter in Burlington, VT and the gate agent doesn’t know how to check-in an infant. The poor agent is alone and there is no one who can help her. Can you help us out?

Me: maybe it could be cool if our theme sounded a little Successiony for the finale special? Genius engineers Par McCusker and Isaac Jones: bet 🤯🤯🤯 nytimes.com/2023/05/29/opini…

This is why @gem_ray is one of the best PMs I’ve ever worked with. All the projects we did together led to direct impact on business critical decisions.

every time you are asking your data scientist or ux researcher to investigate something; gut check with yourself: "what will i do differently when i know?" if the answer is nothing, don't waste their time.

not sure if this is default for google calendar or if my employer set it up that way specifically, but i ❤️ everyone's calendars being publicly viewable. being able to see what's a team meeting / 1:1 / optional event makes scheduling sooooo much easier.

Mess up more! I’m not saying all mistakes are good mistakes, but that most mistakes are less bad than we believe! Build as if you know you’re right, but test as if you know you’re wrong.

In 2021, the economist Partha Dasgupta prepared an incredibly important report about the financial value of nature. We asked Alexander Skarsgård, a Swedish actor, to help simplify its concepts in this short film. It’s worth a watch. nyti.ms/3zwttch

This is one of the coolest uses of AI and chatbots I’ve seen! Would love to be able to upload my own dataset to this tool and then “query” it using regular questions! @alex_damianou Does the bot compute statistical tests too?
