It superficially reminds me of the old "Alexa Skills" thing (I'm not even sure if Alexa still has "Skills"). It might just be the name making that connection for me.
- j45 1y agoSeems to be a bit more than that.
- phildougherty 1y agoAlexa skills are 3rd party add-ons/plugins. Want to control your hue lights? add the phillips hue skill. I think claude skills in an alexa world would be like having to seed alexa with a bunch of context for it to remember how to turn my lights on and off or it will randomly attempt a bunch of incorrect ways of doing it until it gets lucky.
- candiddevmike 1y agoAnd how many of those Alexa Skills are still being updated... This is where waiting for this stuff to stablize/standardize, and then writing a "skill" based on an actual RFC or standard protocol makes more sense, IMO. I've been burned too many times building vendor-locked chatbot extensions.
