I read this as "Claude integration to Slack is now billed as API usage". Is that wrong?

Not sure if it’s just me, but with Anthropic, every new feature has metered usage and “unlimited spending” (aka no limit) enabled by default for our team org. So if I activate something (Claude Code, Claude Tag) and don’t actively go to the usage page to set a spending limit, there is no limit. I’m not surprised Anthropic makes a lot of money. Most people in a typical org probably don’t even know how to check usage. Now, using Claude via Slack will just escalate that even further. And the only models I can use are Opus 4.7 and 4.8 for Claude Tag. If someone knows how to change the defaults, please let me know. With OpenAI, it’s the opposite. Everything is part of the plan, and by default there is no extra spending.

RIP to Glean?

For enterprises already with an Anthropic MSA, hard to see the argument to purchase a third party, like Glean, over this.

Is this still using Claude Web sessions? Also, has anyone used Claude Web environments to do anything besides stuff with repo access? Like running real environments? SSHing into anything more super powered? Anyone putting real creds into those environments?

I don't actually understand why this sort of thing isn't everywhere theres a discussion. Engineering wise, it's nothing to add. People use grok all the time on twitter.

Cursor has had this a while, integrated with their web agents. It was a bit buggy to begin with, not working well with non-github repos, but it was improving last time I checked and was pretty decent.

The best part for me is seeing non-technical folk spec out something in a thread that they discussed something and letting the agent go ahead and build it ready for the humans to review later.

How would it work when claude goes down, like it did 3h ago.

A bit strange to create a brand name for "I tagged the slack app I want to interact with"

One thing that wasn't obvious in the post: it's usage (token) based pricing, not including in your existing Claude subscriptions.

Why Slack? Everything about this product sucks: bad video calls, no meeting recording, limited screen sharing, janky authentication, and predatory pricing.

They shoudl just expose SDK/platform for people to build own integration with Discord/Teams/mattermost etc. This would allow for fine grained permisions control and speed up adoption. To large degree this is alternative for OpenClaw ?
