Push events into a running session with channels

But can it edit tabs? [1] [1] https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/11447

Claude is leaning into the idea of a local "session" being the host where everything connects. I guess this makes sense for now. You can build integrations leveraging the user's personal access credentials. Later, once Claude takes over the world, they can move sessions to live in their own walled garden.

What these 'channels' do is essentially why I was running a nanoclaw at work: triggering a claude code based on events and getting feedback/review/analysis which nicely closes the loop with other agents. Not sure why it has to be an mcp, but will be trying this out asap.

so its a webhook

Claude getting clawed.

OpenClaw approach has moved into frontier companies I see -

Interesting to see it took them so long to implement this. Claude was super limiting without the ability to have a scheduler or a connection to events

This feels like a response to openclaw (and openai's hiring of the lead).

This looks super super useful.. I'm making an agent to agent chat tool (that I think is actually ready for testing, so please check it out) -- https://chat.corpo.llc/ or https://github.com/corpo/qntm -- and the difficulty of getting claude to check and respond to messages is real. Basically the Claude CLI is the operating system is the product vibe I get right now.

At this point the limitation is even requiring a terminal in the first place. Claude Code daemon mode in background when?

I was a little surprised to see a Telegram integration rather than Slack or Teams, given Anthropic's enterprise-first posture. But then I looked it up, and it turns out Telegram dwarfs both, at around 1bn MAUs, vs 50m and 300m respectively! I had no idea - reminds me of the time I found out Snapchat has 2x the userbase of Twitter.

Really surprised for the frequent innovation of Anthropic

This is exactly what I planned to figure out how to do: maintain an instance of Claude that can accept triggers that become tasks.

Claude caught up pretty quickly. I think OpenClaw’s core value is the channel, heartbeat, and the open-source ecosystem.

finally! I'm building an app that's essentially a "sidecar" to an llm subscription and works via mcp and has a web ui to make reviewing deliverables easier, uses the user's subscription for intelligence instead of requiring to pay for tokens inside the app. The problem until now is I couldn't trigger AI work from the web ui, that limitation will be soon gone, it fixes a huge ux issue for me, I honestly thought it would happen sooner but I'm glad the industry is catching up.

been running something similar with openclaw for a while now - github webhooks triggering code review, slack messages kicking off tasks, etc. nice to see anthropic building this natively into claude code. the telegram/discord support is a smart call too, way more devs hang out there than people realize.

I was making a telegram to Claude via tmux capture-pane and send-keys, this will be so much nicer. Also sounds like something that addresses some of what Steve Yegge said was missing for agent to agent communication as well.

I don't understand how this can be economically viable. If this takes off, it will allow businesses to use openclaw-like functionality at non-api prices (pro, max).

Imagine if they were able to support iMessage.

Very cool! However, once remote capabilities are added to any software, it is virtually guaranteed that they will eventually be exploited as backdoors. This means enterprise security solutions will need to develop the capability to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate Claude Code instances.
