Proposes building a new Slack-like workspace called NewSlack powered by Claude and Claude Code to address data access and group collaboration limitations in current Slack.

Frames the move as a strategic disruption of enterprise data ecosystems to prevent business communications from being locked behind closed APIs.

Cites external sources and blog posts to support claims about data access, interoperability, and Claude integration.

Argues Slack’s network effects are weaker than perceived and that high costs for Enterprise+ and legal holds make Slack vulnerable at scale.

Criticizes Slack’s data access policies as restrictive, asserting Slack holds the most important corporate text data but offers poor AI data access, urging open data access and interoperability as a differentiator.

Ends with a call to action for Anthropic to build a new Slack, including a CTA linking to Fivetran CEO insights.

Seeks a credible commitment from Anthropic to open data access and interoperability, positioning Anthropic as uniquely capable based on past actions.

Proposes NewSlack bundled with Claude for every employee to accelerate AI adoption, with a plan to win skeptics by proving Claude’s usefulness in group chats.

Notes Claude’s 1:1 conversation limit, arguing it should function as a group participant within Slack rather than as a standalone sub-agent.
