Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets, and Claude Data

Anthropic is playing in Alphabet's field

Is that really a smart idea with respect to the IPO? Why not leave the risk and reward of building slop on top of AI to the industry? For one, maintaining a lot of apps and connectors costs time and focus for a marginal return. Also it burns relationships with everyone building on top of your API if they can be disrupted anytime.

Watch them abandon these projects after 6 months.

> When you’re done brainstorming, Claude can turn the board into a doc or deck, or bring it into tools like Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho, where you can continue working on it with your team. either fully commit to disrupting your customers and keep a walled garden or stop building in the space, this incremental approach will only ship confusion

Model companies are starting to cannibalize their api customers's business cases. Shows that the regular avenues of revenue growth are slowing down

Unless Microsoft and Google get their butts into gear, Claude is going to become the basis for running a business and disrupt Office and Workspace.

Claude vendor lock-in - Claude: not thanks! I prefer you as an easily interchangeable commodity that plays an intermittent role in my broader AI strategy.

Good to see them go after the big players Let's get Claude office, Claude auth, Claude notebooks.... maybe call it C Suite.

Spreadsheets are becoming standard UX elements like text boxes...

When Anthropic released "claude design" people were telling that figma is dead now, but in fact claude design didn't move forward and stayed as a "fallback tool" when you quickly need to check / edit something. And for the serious work you still go to Figma and other designer tools. I have a feeling that Whiteboards, Sheets, Docs and so on will be the same - it's a nicer way to present artefacts, discuss them and maybe make notes, but for the proper editor experience you'll go to the tools which were designed for these things. And I'm not saying that Claude Something tools are bad, they're just overly simplified and limited, probably on purpose.

I don’t understand the need for these side quests. Microsoft has a 40 year lead in spreadsheets. You are not going to dethrone them no matter how good your AI’s code is. And no one is asking you for an excel competitor. Fixing the million problems in existing products that users have already raised (aka the boring work) is a much better use of resources.

CLAUDE(/openAI) Everything soon - at least before the IPO.

So LLM provider want to become all-encompasing app/data suite providers. But really this would just shift your data/money from one paid walled garden (Google/Micro$/Adope) into another: so only a lateral move. The better solution would be a uniform 'App Suite of the commons' (open-source) with a plugable/switchable data and inference providers.

RIP Gsuite.

Claude data is a huge move, much bigger than the other two (even if they end up with more users). All Anthropic needs is to host an S3 clone and they become the default place to put all your company's data because they are the easiest place to analyze the data.

> Working with Claude on a project often meant moving the output over to another tool or program, where Claude didn’t have live access to follow progress and changes. Now, your documents, boards, sheets, and dashboards can stay in Claude, with access for your team to continue editing together. I read this as: We'll build anything and everything into Claude eventually. How does this work long-term? Is the new reality going to be picking an AI provider for all of your SaSS tooling, similar to Cloud providers for infra? Hopefully competition thrives.

Would much rather use something open-source than something that locks my company into an AI provider. Hell, I'd rather have an AI build something that rips off these three products than get locked in.

ugh, another thing that no one is going to use. Their competition is offering good enough models for vastly better prices and they are making products that their customers don't need. I feel like there will be a site similar to google graveyard for all these AI+X products that OAI and ANT are throwing out.

The one thing I do really like about Claude / Anthropic is that Claude.ai docs (especially its ability to create HTML docs) seems substantially better than Gemini or ChatGPT. These seem like natural extensions that I'm sure will be very useful.
