- Shares memory, skills, and apps with the existing Claude app in one thread
- Works with 6,000+ connectors and plugins
- Demo scenarios include hiring deadline tracking, contract renewal redlines, permit fee approvals, and fundraising deck updates
- Waitlist open; designer Pablo Stanley shared design details
