Dan Shipper Claude is not mine. Claude is everybody’s. A Claw—or a Plus One—is mine, because you develop a personal relationship with your Claw, and your Claw can modify itself in response to talking to you. It becomes this reflection of you and who you are and your personality.
If you’re known for something inside of your org and you’re using your Claw publicly inside of Slack or Discord, your Claw then becomes known for that same kind of thing, and people trust it for that. I think that’s such a useful thing that I don’t think people really understand how powerful it is.
Willie, what’s up. Brandon, welcome to the show.
