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.
I’ve been using Telegram for about 10 years, and it’s one of the few products that has consistently felt great the entire time. It’s fast everywhere: backend, mobile app, desktop app, all of it. Everything just works. Its sync is out of this world—fluid, fast, and seamless across devices. You can use it on your phone, then move to your PC or laptop and continue instantly without friction. Unlimited message history and file storage are fantastic, and the bot platform is absurdly powerful. It’s boring in the best way, which is exactly what you want from a channel for interacting with your agents everywhere.
Since we are apparently giving messaging platform reviews here, I feel exactly the same way about Microsoft Teams. It works great. It does everything I want. It doesn’t get in my way. 10 out of 10 keep up the great work guys!
Teams network connectivity is a plain joke. If you use suspend, or frequently change network, the thing will just never reconnect, even though you have VPN alive and all network applications perfectly running.
And the thing is just absurbdly sluggish, only display blurred grey lines instead of text in a meager attempt to look snappy.
I only use Teams for meetings and the calendar, and the occasional chat during a meeting. I find it totally fine and I don't really think about it much one way or the other. For reference I have a 2021 M1 Max with 64 GB.
Probably all managers and engineers working on Teams have similar copious amounts of memory and powerful CPUs on their devices and hardly use their own product. That would explain a lot
Honestly can't tell if this is not sarcasm/rage bait.
Teams that has 3 different UI frameworks on every platform (but your best bet is the web)? With the Microsoft login that tends to loop forever redirecting to God knows where?
When it is online, I agree with things asides from the "fast" part, actually. But many companies have a secondary service for async comms/chat when being Teams cannot be online, and compared to Slack.
Back in the day, when I used to play pokemon go, there was a small local community and we would struggle to decide where to meet up for the daily raids because people would basically not respond (so as t not commit), or not know which gym each other meant exactly, nor give live updates when people moved around, etc. etc.
Then I joined a group from a bigger city where I commuted for work. They had a telegram group chat with two "channels", one for talking, one for bot posts. The telegram bot could be sent a single screenshot of a raid, and it would use OCR to automatically generate an interactive UI for that raid for everyone to see, with all the relevant info, and it would also clear itself up when the raid is no longer relevant. You could press buttons to say you were going, that you MAYBE were going, if you were late, and if you already started/done it, all in single clicks. Tons of options, tons of information, all live updated.
I was bedazzled. That feature singlehandedly removed all attrition from urban social gaming. And it was entirely grassroots. It made me try out making my own telegram bots, and yeah, you basically have the power to make a little app in chat form, even some that feel like CLI commands.
It's been OVER HALF A DECADE and I have yet to see a single other chat application have that degree of freedom where it comes to applications and bots. Some like discord even did whole ass 100% reworks of their bot AP to support the likes of slash commands, and still fall short. And there's none worse than Teams. Teams hates you. Teams spent the prior 2 years before this one basically pointing a gun to our heads telling us they were removing webhooks and pushing back on it whenever they repeatedly get told that's the most insane and dogshit idea ever. And they still did it. There's just no spark in Teams UX. No self-respect. It's a soulless product made entirely as a dumping place of "synergy" with other M$ products. It's reciprocal, I hate it too.
Oh and my local group never go into telegram because they didn't want a new app. It died, but I still kept playing after work without problem. It makes me wonder how fast Teams would die if it wasn't proped up by 365 and Azure subscriptions.
> we would struggle to decide where to meet up for the daily raids because people would basically not respond (so as t not commit), or not know which gym each other meant exactly, nor give live updates when people moved around, etc. etc.
This kind of thing is so common in groups of people, it's one of my pet peeves. My own family does this in our group messages when trying to make big decisions like who should host thanksgiving or where we should go for a family vacation.
I make it a point to just take charge and tell people that we're doing XYZ now. It usually either results in a decision, or gets the discussion going enough that I can do it again with new information.
That has roughly been my MO as well and it works great for groups where identities have settled.
But one has to keep in mind that, in our currwnt "more woke" times, if you go this way in a new group you run the risk of being labeled an array of things. So tread carefully there.
I wonder if Teams hates you, because they are doing the bidding of their actual customers (corporate decisions makers and purse holders), and those people's interests are not exactly aligned with the users'.
The problem is that these people holding the actual purse don't care enough about their subordinates' experience. They care about the price tag, and about compliance. Apparently the makers of Teams think about the same. None of them thinks in terms of lost productivity.
Yes, compliance is a big one. And it's not so much that they are actively hostile to user productivity (and quality of life), they just don't care enough.
I feel the opposite. I'm on Teams all day at work and have reluctantly opened Telegram recently to try a Claw despite having an account for years.
I've been surprised how little support there has been for Teams in the whole AI ecosystem. It seems all developers assume that the whole world is at startups working on Slack when most businesses are on Microsoft 365.
Just the fact how much Microsoft lies when you click the "keep me logged in" button should tell you why nobody bothers with Teams integration with anything.
Compared to operating on text files (which is relatively very simple and something Claude Code is great for), I have a feeling it's kind of a disaster dealing with Microsoft integrations and the different file formats
Odious is one of the most reserved words you could use to describe Telegram, which is primarily a host for scams that the influencers and other bottom feeders aren't allowed to monetize on the big social networks.
I think it might because telegram integration it's just easy to do, I don't use telegram for actually messaging, I use it just to deploy my bots, it's a simple way to build simple tools, in a few lines you can get something working, you can have commands that work like buttons, accept images, respond with images and don't need anything else than your telegram account
Telegram's bot API is literally one of the friendliest APIs (of any kind) I've ever seen. It's the first thing I reach for when server-to-mobile notifications are concerned.
It's just as easy to set up as ntfy.sh, except that it doesn't break every other week on iOS.
Slack (and Discord) webhooks are good for just shooting one-sided data into channels, but for interactive bots Telegram is so far ahead of anyone else it's crazy.
Signal specifically is missing any kind of official bot support, cutting off massive audiences from even considering it as an option.
This is so true. I don’t like Telegram for a host of reasons, but the bot architecture is second to none. Try creating a bot in Slack. You’ll pull your hair out for hours. Same goes for Discord. Utter nightmare. Telegram? You send a DM and it is basically done.
Discord webhooks aren’t too bad… but the proper bot thing is ridiculous. They really lack a development mode server, having to know everything about oauth and token permissions before even starting is bonkers and why do I even need an app is beyond me. I’d probably have my bot completely implemented in telegram in the same time I figured out what an app is in discord and how to even add a new app to my server.
Surprisingly large number of businesses run on whatsapp, as a consultant in Asia it's prob around half the businesses I've worked with prefer it over teams/slack. If Meta had been sensible about API access Telegram wouldn't have even got a foothold.
WhatsApp is actually more popular than Slack, isn’t it? In my country, almost everyone uses Slack, and I’ve hardly ever heard of any companies using WhatsApp, so that was surprising to me.
Getting an agent working via an existing Slack setup is fairly effortless and the control over output format is useful
I had a look at getting same agent up in WhatsApp but it seems to need FB business acc to even start process, to get FB business you need an FB personal etc. ... looked like too much effort
The only thing it's that creating bots for whatsapp it's not as easy as for telegram and it cost money. Actually that is the business plan for whatsapp making money from whatsapp business
Living in Japan has made me realize how different cultures can be — even down to the apps and services people use.
It honestly surprises me, and now I kind of want to try WhatsApp too.
Telegram has the best programmatic integration. Trivial to get working. You can be up and running in minutes. I use it to talk to a claw-style agent and it's truly unbelievable what you get for free.
Telegram is more popular among "normal people", and it also has a laissez-faire attitude towards bots and bot development. Making a bot that you, or even other people, could add to their contact list and use is pretty easy.
It's wild, but "people who want to build and run their own one-off bot for something like home automation" are almost treated by Telegram like first class citizens.
One issue is that 95% of the integrations will be fine with the default configuration. The others including some with high profit potential will have weird configs that will frustrate your customers the first time they try if not well tested/documented. It's better to take time and get it right. Enterprise customers love piloting and spending time, so best to approach that the right way too. Going with less complex options, that arguably have better APIs, makes it easier to develop your core product too and get real feedback from users.
I'm bullish on Claude. It will see a surge in users, and will likely surpass Perplexity this year. However I don't think it will catch up to even Meta AI (which had 10x the number of users) this year.
I use Claude. I use Codex. I've never heard of or used Meta AI. Nor do I have a Facebook account. Never have, never will.
I am also a software developer. So while the numbers of "people" that use one AI or another may be higher than either of these, it's not a useful metric for myself.
That's fine. I'm not making a value judgement about which LLMs you should use, if any.
I'm only pushing back against someone thinking "oh HN talks about Claude a lot, therefore Claude must be extremely popular". The information bubble is a real problem.
It's probably true that Anthropic's revenue is booming. But we need massive grains of salt:
a) they are private and revenue numbers for private companies are hopelessly unreliable, and
b) they are planning an IPO, so there's an extra incentive to big up the numbers. Anthropic always brings up ARR, which is very gameable when the year hasn't ended yet
Talk about a bubble. No one outside of programmers know what the heck is Claude. In Asia, ChatGPT and Gemini dominates LLM usage, followed by Perplexity.
You're telling me that Anthropic, one of the hottest companies on the planet right now couldn't field four teams of developers to integrate with Discord,
Slack, Telegram, and Teams? AI being such a productivity multiplier, seems like they could just choose to do it all. I mean, mythical man month and all that, but do it three times and have a retrospective and use Claude to refactor the pain points and centralize the learnings.
Telegram has a major issue with bots and bad actors though. They paywalled privacy features making it truly a terrible experience for users. 3-10 per day random messaging you.
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.
thats how Amazon worked its MCP setup - got everything onto oauth tokens, and then the harness knows how to to access the token to get permissions to whatever the user has.
the bad part is setting separate permissions for different user tokens
They certainly are. And this is likely to some degree a response to enterprise security desires. Enterprise endpoints are locked down already - no need for extra external API security if it’s just the user’s desktop communication as usual.
I feel like this is absolutely not the case. Our corporate infosec guys are freaking out, as developers and general users alike are finding all new ways to poke holes in literally everything.
We're finding out quickly that enterprise endpoints are not locked down anywhere near enough, and the stuff that users are creating on the local endpoints is quickly outpacing the rate at which SOC teams can investigate what's going on.
If you're using Claude via Anthropic's SaaS service it's near impossible to collect logs of what actually happened in a user's session. We happen to proxy Claude Code usage through Amazon Bedrock and the Bedrock logs have already proven to be instrumental in figuring out what led a user to having repeated attempts to install software that they wouldn't have otherwise attempted to install - all because they turned their brains off and started accepting every Claude Code prompt to install random stuff.
Sandboxing works to an extent, but it's a really difficult balance to strike between locking it down so much that you neuter the tool and having a reasonable security policy.
Look, as a software dev myself, I really like that my company lets us use our computers the way we see fit. Pre- or post-AI with no restrictive lockdown. Been there, hated that.
But I totally get the freaking out over "normal devs". The amount of stuff most people think is reasonable, AI or not, is mind boggling. For myself of course I like to just be able to be responsible myself. But as a security team I'd also be freaking out.
Like, the amount of people that find our super boring, totally corporate "security training videos", helpful and insightful and "oh dang I'd never have thought of that!" is mind boggling all by itself. Never mind any actual security training that'd be useful to someone with half a brain. You can literally just click through the 8+ hours of stuff you're supposed to watch / answer / do in 30 minutes.
It can. Go to the code tab, choose your repo, and have it write an image file to disk. If you tell it to read it, it should show in the chat. It works on the web version so hopefully it works on ios.
I’ve been using opencode’s server command as a systemd unit on my home server. I connect to it with the desktop and mobile client. Use it for a bunch of openclaw-esq things, but with a nicer interface.
I think CC does have “remote control” now which I think would work similar, but it’s Max only right now
I'm willing to bet that many people produce code with Claude code that you would not be able to distinguish from a skilled human. Every tool has its uses and misuses.
Yeah, sorry I dont know a single engineer working outside of web development, on serious problems (that arent machine learning related) that think this about llm produced code.
The people saying this have already fried their engineering intuition by using agents (if they had any before) and are probably writing http handlers and identical (to every other llm generated) frontend landing pages all day everyday, for their next "indie SaaS product" (thats definitely not the 500th version of that product).
You're doing magic tricks on yourself, the equivalent of a toddler being entertained by the sound their vecro shoes make. Or more accurately, the a gambler behaves after they think they've become profitable.
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.
All *Claw implementations should use a local model for heartbeat, it doesn't need to do anything complex, pretty much just read a text file and do a true/false decision if there's something in there to do when it wakes up.
If so, it can either just shove the full heartbeat file to a smarter model or try to intelligently spread the tasks to the correct models.
It would have surely taken less time to just set up notifications for the Claude Code app? Are they ever going to do this? It's baffling to me that they're just skipping over letting you know when a task is completed... this is basic stuff.
Personally I’m receiving native macOS notifications from Claude (both the app and the CLI), and there’s also the hook system, which you can script to send even more custom notifications.
Do you have notifications turned on for your terminal app? I never received notifications from Claude Code until I moved to a new machine and remember explicitly allowing notifications from Ghostty.
It doesn't make sense that it's implemented for others but not for you. What platform are you running on? I have notifications on my Linux laptop and Linux desktop. But I did have to turn them on.
I'm using Fedora with KDE and I haven't seen any notifications and had no idea it did this. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on in my system and maybe it will help other people.
I just created agent-http that leverages the channels feature to enable you to wrap claude code with a http api. This provides an identical API to Agent API (https://github.com/coder/agentapi) that relies on terminal scraping to achieve this. Now you can interact with claude code in a headless manner using your subscription. Previously I think you had to do this via the Agents SDK which relies on api token use.
at this point anthropic is dogfooding us a new product every week just to see what might stick - doubt a lot of the features/products they've rolled out will actually be around or supported in a year
This is fantastic. There are a ton of use cases where you'd want to be able to build an integration that hooks back to your running agent session. OpenClaw has this today, but it's pretty janky. Hopefully this is coming to Claude Cowork as well.
My use case is that I have a separate system that provides human approvals for what my agent can do. Right now, I've had to resort to long-polling to give a halfway decent user experience. But webhooks are clearly the right solution. Curious to see how it ends up being exposed outside of these initial integrations.
This is the first time I've seen MCP's push capabilities come in handy. I'm not much of an MCP nerd though so I don't know much. But when I read the spec it looked extremely over engineered partly because of the 2 way nature of it.
Unfortunately, we're all stuck moving at the speed of the model labs because of the subscription models that they've provided.
The rest of us were able to implement things like push a long time ago, but because Claude Code and Codex stubbed those things out, we couldn't really use them for 'most agent users'.
In fairness to OpenAI, they have been generous in allowing for example OpenCode to sign in with your ChatGPT subscription – so you _could_ build a more powerful agent (which OpenCode is... not) – but unfortunately GPTs' instruction following just isn't up to snuff yet. Hopefully they pre-train something amazing this year!
The convenient thing about using Claude via Telegram is that you can provide all of your private and proprietary information to US intelligence and Russian intelligence at the same time. (Telegram is not end to end encrypted.)
Honestly not sure what I would be using this for when there's Claude remote control? Is it because you can script the telegram bot to send messages at regular intervals? But Claude has a /loop as well, so I'm still confused.
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.
Plus it gives a little ASCII dog to Claude Code terminal.
The ability to spawn independent CLI is awesome. No brainer they would add eventually between the great threaded functionality it brings and is essentially a more controlled version of OpenClaw IMO
I've been looking to build something similar to this so this is very timely!
What I wanted to build is a way for Claude Code to automatically receive reviews and CP failures from a Github PR and automatically revise code and respond to comments. It looks like with a custom Github PR channel I can get very close to this, although I do wish that a channel can be opened in a running session instead of having to create a new one. Hopefully they add that soon.
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).
Do you know for sure if the pro / max plans are unprofitable at full usage? I did a brief back of the envelope calculation for minimax m2.5 comparing its api pricing to my token usage on a full quota max 20x Claude plan, it worked out around 260 ish which assuming some margin would put the Claude max around breakeven.
It doesn't matter if they are unprofitable at full usage, as long as there are enough users (like me!) who barely ever max out but still pay the $100/month. The people who love Claude Code enough to max out the 20x plan every day, that's probably the best influencer marketing campaign you could ever buy anyways.
Claude Code Web does all of those things for me with the GitHub connector enabled. I did have a lot of song and dance to get the permissions right though.
Answer:
"I don't see a GitHub connector in the available integrations. The search only returned a Microsoft Learn connector (not connected).
It's possible the connector hasn't fully activated yet, or it may not be available in your current setup. Could you double-check in Settings → Integrations that it shows as connected?"
You can remove the requirements for specific commands in settings.json, or run claude with the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag. It's dangerous tho.
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.
I wrote it originally because I wanted my openclaw install to talk to my assistant's openclaw, and my openclaws that were local at different houses.
It's morphed a lot since then, and is close to being super useful -- it allows group chat, and is close to having a realistic API call on threshold vote gateway system built in.
That stuff is built to support Corpo's main business model which is providing real world asset and governance access to agents.
So, for example, I think agents might like to vote on sending a wire transfer by approving a specific mercury bank API call.
I could go on. You can also use it to remotely chat to an agent across firewalls - it's pull / poll only.
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.
Does anyone else have issues opening Claude.com domains on iOS? It’s infuriating I can never open documentation or the usage page or account management portal on iOS on Safari. Works fine on a laptop. Mac, Windows, or Linux.
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.
I also get the impression this is way more complicated than it needs to be. Or maybe it's simple and they keep inventing new terminology for stuff that basically already exists. The crypto bros did the same shit. Like, bidirectional communication has been a thing for decades. We're just changing what we call the client and the server? And the protocol is just strings the bot on the other end is a little better at reading?
i dont like this class of criticism. mostly because i find myself do it alot. it doesnt matter if the tool used is simple, if it generates value then its a good idea
what should this fallacy be called? ad implementum? ad modum?
I've created an iCloud account for my llm.
On my Mac, I created another user account, not an admin, just regular. Linked to the iCloud account. Installed Bluebubble.
And now I can chat with my AI via iMessage, via my Apple watch, or my homepods. It works beautifully.
Teams network connectivity is a plain joke. If you use suspend, or frequently change network, the thing will just never reconnect, even though you have VPN alive and all network applications perfectly running.
And the thing is just absurbdly sluggish, only display blurred grey lines instead of text in a meager attempt to look snappy.
Months back I was in a meeting and the dial tone just started sounding like someone was calling me.
I face bugs like this often. It's a pos.
I would never accuse Teams of being fast.
Doesn’t seem to matter if I have an i9, a macbook m4 or a threadripper.
Teams that has 3 different UI frameworks on every platform (but your best bet is the web)? With the Microsoft login that tends to loop forever redirecting to God knows where?
It's incomparable to telegram.

Then you have Discord or Slack, which are pretty heavyweight when all you want is a simple chat interface.

Overseas numbers are likely worse for Claude.
Try and ask someone not in tech what they think of Claude or Anthropic. There's a high chance they've never heard of either.
Things might have changed with Anthropic showing up at the Superbowl, and in the news over their fight with the Pentagon.

Or run it in tmux so you can pull it up on demand and have it open at startup.

If so, it can either just shove the full heartbeat file to a smarter model or try to intelligently spread the tasks to the correct models.
Personally I’m receiving native macOS notifications from Claude (both the app and the CLI), and there’s also the hook system, which you can script to send even more custom notifications.
What am I missing?
hooks can already alert you and have flexibility
My use case is that I have a separate system that provides human approvals for what my agent can do. Right now, I've had to resort to long-polling to give a halfway decent user experience. But webhooks are clearly the right solution. Curious to see how it ends up being exposed outside of these initial integrations.
The rest of us were able to implement things like push a long time ago, but because Claude Code and Codex stubbed those things out, we couldn't really use them for 'most agent users'.
In fairness to OpenAI, they have been generous in allowing for example OpenCode to sign in with your ChatGPT subscription – so you _could_ build a more powerful agent (which OpenCode is... not) – but unfortunately GPTs' instruction following just isn't up to snuff yet. Hopefully they pre-train something amazing this year!

Never had this problem with Claude tho. Must be something environment-specific.
By default. It can be enabled though on a per conversation basis.

Plus it gives a little ASCII dog to Claude Code terminal.
The ability to spawn independent CLI is awesome. No brainer they would add eventually between the great threaded functionality it brings and is essentially a more controlled version of OpenClaw IMO
What I wanted to build is a way for Claude Code to automatically receive reviews and CP failures from a Github PR and automatically revise code and respond to comments. It looks like with a custom Github PR channel I can get very close to this, although I do wish that a channel can be opened in a running session instead of having to create a new one. Hopefully they add that soon.
It runs Claude in docker containers, listens for webhooks to see comments and CI status.
I presumed Claude would then be able to clone repos, make commits, update the code in its container and then write it back to github.
Instead, the github connector does ..... nothing it all. It's very weird.
"i enabled github connector can you see it?"
Answer: "I don't see a GitHub connector in the available integrations. The search only returned a Microsoft Learn connector (not connected). It's possible the connector hasn't fully activated yet, or it may not be available in your current setup. Could you double-check in Settings → Integrations that it shows as connected?"
Multiple such checks and re-setups do nothing.
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.
Basically the Claude CLI is the operating system is the product vibe I get right now.
I wrote it originally because I wanted my openclaw install to talk to my assistant's openclaw, and my openclaws that were local at different houses.
It's morphed a lot since then, and is close to being super useful -- it allows group chat, and is close to having a realistic API call on threshold vote gateway system built in.
That stuff is built to support Corpo's main business model which is providing real world asset and governance access to agents.
So, for example, I think agents might like to vote on sending a wire transfer by approving a specific mercury bank API call.
I could go on. You can also use it to remotely chat to an agent across firewalls - it's pull / poll only.
And if anyone is interested, I made an HN Group chat: https://chat.corpo.llc/?invite=p2F2AWR0eXBlZmRpcmVjdGVzdWl0Z...
(and it may be better)
what should this fallacy be called? ad implementum? ad modum?
webhooks have been very powerful, and you can start feeding the same stuff into claude as the orchestrator
I've created an iCloud account for my llm. On my Mac, I created another user account, not an admin, just regular. Linked to the iCloud account. Installed Bluebubble.
And now I can chat with my AI via iMessage, via my Apple watch, or my homepods. It works beautifully.
