- rane 1y agoHow will they make money?
- bigyabai 1y agoStep 1: Manufacture a bunch of low-quality "good enough" codebases Step 2: Turn around and sell security-as-a-service to the most profitable products
- nextworddev 1y agoHosted version… like every oss project…
- hk__2 1y agoIt’s a desktop app.
- nextworddev 1y agomany desktop apps have hosted versions
- hk__2 1y agoI can’t think of any free desktop app that would have a non-free hosted version.
- fourthark 1y agoAGPL suggests you are correct
- mirekrusin 1y agoThe only way there is to make money - from VCs.
- giovannibonetti 1y agoIt seems to be a side-gig to bring attention to their company. Well done.
- preommr 1y agoI definitely thought this was an anthropic thing that they were trying to spin off into it's own website and app for normies. I am not saying it's infringement, I am just saying that my dumb brain made that connection and I feel like it's not unreasonable to assume that other people might as well.
- mirsadm 1y agoI also made the assumption. Once I found out it wasn't it was a huge red flag. I don't like it at all.
- iamflimflam1 1y agoAgreed - I was about to send this round to my colleagues. For once reading the comments first has paid off!

- mirekrusin 1y agoSame here, first thing I did was to scroll down to see company in the footer and nope... somebody will be receiving legal letters soon I'd guess.
- IshKebab 1y agoThis is exactly why trademarks exist, and why if they want to bother, Anthropic can 100% make them change the name. Same reason you can't release a handheld console called the Gamegirl, or a voice assistant called Alexis.
- time0ut 1y agoOh wow. I thought it was anthropic even after skimming the site. The color scheme and styling is pretty similar. That feels a little slimy.
- tibbon 1y agoSame. But of course, I checked the GitHub first, and I really dislike this confusion. I don't trust someone with my AI tools that's acting like they are trying to trick me into giving them sensitive access. Nope.
- tibbon 1y agoI'm shocked that YC hasn't advised them that this name is terrible. It actively breaks trust by trying to piggyback on Anthropic's tool naming.
- addandsubtract 1y agoMove fast and break things. Being edgy like this is what VC's want to see.
- robwwilliams 1y agoGrab Claudet and Claudette quick!
- verdverm 1y agoMore than that, the peer comments would support trademark issues
- Void_ 1y agoLots of apps named after the Whisper model (including mine - https://whispermemos.com/ https://whispermemos.com/) I wonder if I'll have to rename at some point.
- lioeters 1y agoIf you're adding another word, it sounds more differentiated than Claude to Claudia. I was among the many who thought this was an official product from the makers of Claude. It's like if your product was called Whisperer.
- teruakohatu 1y agoWow, I thought it was an official app. Now I wonder what telemetry or even conversation data I have just sent offsite. As others have said, this is a giant red flag.
