Compare
Claude Tag puts one shared Claude in your Slack channels, and your admin sets up what it can reach. Glimmer takes one whole job off your team, in the chat app you already use. Glints sets it up in your own cloud. Glimmer can run on Claude too, so this page compares the two products, not the AI models.

What changes for you
01
How you pay
Claude Tag has no charge for each person in Slack. Work in channels is billed by use, from your company's usage balance. On a Team plan, you load credits before anything runs. Your admin sets a monthly spend limit, and Claude stops when it reaches the limit.
Your company also needs a Claude Team or Enterprise plan. The Team plan starts at US$20 a seat a month, paid yearly, before tax. Anthropic's guide states that it publishes no cost for each task. It suggests a first month with a spend limit to learn the cost.
Glimmer is priced by the job. We pick the job that costs your team the most hours, build it, and count the hours with you after. A grant can pay part of the build.
Example: Founders and GMs
An example week for the GM of a small trading firm. We count your own hours on the first call.
02
Your chat app and your systems
Claude Tag works in Slack today, and Anthropic has a waitlist for Microsoft Teams. Your team may work in Lark, WhatsApp or Teams instead.
Claude Tag reaches a tool through an account and a key that your admin creates for Claude in that tool. It reaches GitHub through its own app. That suits tools that give out keys, such as an issue tracker or a data warehouse. An old accounting package or a POS built for you may have no key. We build that connection with you, or Glimmer uses the screen the way a person would.
You also choose which actions wait for a person. Glimmer asks the person who made the request, in the same thread, and nothing happens until someone taps Approve.
The people and orders in the chat are an example.

Who sets it up
Anthropic's setup guide asks you to treat Claude like a new hire. Your admin gives it an email address, adds it to each tool and pastes in a key for each one. Claude Tag then runs on Claude models, and keeps its records in Anthropic's cloud.
We sit with the person who does the job today and write down how it is really done. Then we build it in your own cloud, put it in your chat app and train your team leads to change it. Each team picks its model, such as Claude, GPT or Gemini, and can switch later.

One first build, kept small. We agree what it covers before any work starts, and a grant can pay part.
Fair to say
If Claude Tag already does the job you have in mind, we tell you, and we do not quote a build for it.
