Fiona Fung’s Claude now automatically reads her Slack every morning?

what you think is the next kind of frontier of how engineering in particular is going to change? Is it like fleets of agents? Is it something else? What's like the next big shift to how engineers operate?

I would say we're shifting more towards async. So to your point, the fleets of agents like that, that's why routines is so interesting. It's almost like I used to be doing a prompt synchronously and then I would like maybe like kick off different prompts asynchronously. But now I can actually have a routine that actually generates, you know, these prompts for me. So it's almost like the level of abstraction keeps pulling up a little bit.

Help us understand what is routines? And then when you say asynchronous, you're writing a prompt and it just kind of goes off and isn't writing it immediately?

What I used to do is always like wake up with my morning cup of coffee and, hey, look through this Slack channel for me. But then now, like, I have a routine that I set to run every morning at a certain time. Then it's able to actually go and kick off agents on your behalf.
