Welcome to The Prompt by Kuro House, your daily update on the latest in AI and tech. Today, we’ve got some exciting developments from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI that are shaping the future of AI integration and hardware. So, let’s dive right in.
First up, Anthropic is making coding in Slack a whole lot smarter. According to The Verge, Anthropic’s Claude Code can now be accessed directly within Slack by simply tagging Claude in coding-related messages and threads. This new beta feature automatically scans your messages for coding tasks and routes them to Claude Code, pulling context from your Slack threads and connected code repositories. Developers can even ask Claude to investigate bugs or handle feature requests without copying context manually. It’s a seamless way to move from conversation to code, all within the same workspace.
Building on that, TechCrunch highlights how this integration signals a bigger shift in AI coding assistants. Claude Code’s rollout in Slack isn’t just about the AI model—it’s about embedding AI deeply into developers’ workflows. Now, developers can spin up complete coding sessions, get progress updates, and review pull requests without leaving Slack. This move positions Slack as a central hub where AI meets workplace context, potentially reshaping how software teams collaborate. But it also raises important questions about code security and platform dependencies that teams will need to navigate.
Shifting gears to hardware, The Verge gave us a first look at Google’s Project Aura glasses, made in partnership with Xreal. These wired XR glasses, expected to launch in 2026, blur the line between smart glasses and headsets. You get a 70-degree field of view and can create giant virtual desktops, play 3D games, and even summon AI-powered search with Google’s Gemini. What’s really impressive is that Project Aura runs apps developed for Samsung’s Galaxy XR without needing remakes, opening the door for a broader Android XR ecosystem. Plus, these glasses will support iOS users too, which is a big deal in a space often locked down by ecosystems.
On the security front, TechCrunch reports that Google is taking agentic AI features in Chrome seriously. Google’s approach uses Gemini-powered observer models to monitor and approve AI actions like booking tickets or shopping online. They’ve implemented strict origin controls to prevent data leaks and restrict agents to read-only or read-write sites as appropriate. For sensitive tasks, Chrome will ask for user consent, especially when dealing with passwords or purchases. Google is also testing defenses against prompt injection attacks to keep these automated actions secure.
Lastly, Wired brings us a cautionary tale about OpenAI’s naming choices. OpenAI’s recent feature called “cameo” in its Sora app ran into a trademark lawsuit from the existing Cameo platform. As a result, OpenAI had to remove the “cameo” branding and rename it “characters.” They’re also facing legal challenges over the name “io” for an upcoming hardware device. This highlights the challenges AI companies face when reusing familiar product names, sometimes leading to costly legal battles.
So, whether it’s smarter coding in Slack, innovative AI glasses, or securing agentic AI in browsers, the AI landscape is evolving fast. And as these technologies grow, so do the complexities around workflow integration, ecosystem compatibility, and legal considerations. Thanks for tuning in to The Prompt by Kuro House. We’ll catch you tomorrow with more AI insights.
