i was one of those people comparing it to Claw et al and saying it's similar. but i get it now, it's not really about the platform, whether it's a website / desktop app / messaging app, or some new way of interacting with AI. what it actually is, is a paradigm shift in how you operate within an organization. i think a lot of us got stuck on the surface when we were reading the third big redesign of AI x UI/UX. the enterprise readiness and the org-level harness is a product breakthrough to me. but it's not clearly visible in the demo, hence all the confusion.

This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude that is significantly more "inline" with all the other human activity org-wide. Once you do all of the under the hood engineering work to make this "just work" (e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory, security, etc.), Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way - you can talk to it as you would talk to a person and it can help with a very large variety of workloads. Imo this is the 3rd major redesign of LLM UIUX. The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to, the second was that it is an app you download to your computer. This third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools and context, working alongside teams of humans. It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works and it is awesome.

Your Hermes Agent can now adopt an animated pet: a small sprite that reacts to what the agent is doing (idle, running a tool, thinking, waiting, finishing, failing) in the GUI or TUI. You have nearly 3000 pets to choose from via the petdex gallery, or you can submit your own.

sounds like claw and its variants to me, but karpathy said it’s different. i’m confused.
