Wiring up the roof extraction AI workflow inside a Claude Plugin. Slash Commands and Skills for simple measurements or special modes like roofing MCP App drops UI right inside the chat window, user types /roof 123 Main st and is presented with the UI for immediate measuring and editing. On completion, the agent picks up the response and pairs with a user customizable Skill file (for pricing, materials, report generation, whatever post estimate workflow they want - simply customized with the Skill text file) Could pair well with Claude Small Business plugin for roofers, fence installers, landscapers, power washers etc User AI agents (like Claude Cowork) outside of SaaS walls are going to want access to all workflows, existing APIs will help but when it comes to user collaboration with the agent, existing UX might need to change. @claudeai @ClaudeDevs @grok will MCP Apps be added to Grok Build?

Knicks, wow

Ho-lee-shit.

Claude for Small Business - Parking Lot Striping measurements and estimates. Measure-> Skill (your rates and domain expertise)-> Action (estimate created and sent from QuickBooks) Used Claude Fable to rebuild the parking lot engine and it did a really good job. Opens up more complex modes for the base measurement tool and CFSB workflows.

This is the first end-to-end vertical workflow I've seen someone demonstrate on CFSB. The measurement-to-estimate-to-QBO chain is exactly the kind of thing that makes the platform real for a specific industry. Where did you find the show-measurement MCP app — is that in the Cowork directory or did you build it?

this is the kind of workflow that makes ai feel concrete. address, roof analysis, customer, estimate, all in one path.

Claude for Small Business plugin integration - This process could use some polish but you can definitely go from site address measurements/roof analysis to a new Customer and Estimate in Quickbooks, all right from the Claude Cowork (about 3mins end to end) Workflow from Claude: Measure — show-measurement (MCP App) with mode: "roofing", trace the roof, click Done → roofing envelope Price — roofing-estimating Skill turns it into a line-item estimate using your saved rates and custom configurations SBS connectors: QuickBooks → create the customer an Estimate object with the line items (squares, underlayment, tear-off, labor, etc.). @ClaudeDevs @QuickBooks

I love conversations like this. A goat farmer is building his own software to manage his land clearing and goat grazing business. The future of vertical saas belongs to the builders!

agents orchestrating agents is all over my feed today. i'm a master electrician, not a coder. but i already run AI agents that read my notes before they act and put my electrical knowledge in a homeowner's hands. the trades are going to feel this harder than anyone expects.

Part of what makes this work is by using AI to selectively remove the tree canopy when necessary, giving the rest of the pipeline access to additional data for cross checks. In Claude, the user can also see both images and make any adjustments to the roof edges.

Working on an agentic workflow for roof edge/facet extraction from a single satellite image from the Google Solar API. It involves multiple AI calls and deterministic code and can produce 95% accurate edge/facets results for any US address (even when foliage covers a portion of the roof). Was stuck on some of it and decided to use Grok Build to iterate on a plan, then used Claude Opus 4.8 to complete the deterministic code and pipeline. Still a work in progress but good to remember that different agents bring different answers, a lot like how humans work in groups.

Welcome to Blue Collar Builders! Cory LaChance inspired me to start a series spotlighting folks in the trade who are building software using AI. Cory normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he's building AI software for his company.... with no pervious experience writing code. He built a full agentic application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code. My favorite thing he said was, "I did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions, and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five." I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. And I can't wait to meet more Blue Collar Builders.

Gemini 3.5 Flash 🤝 @Antigravity Watch how the model deploys multiple subagents to design and build an entire city.

Traditional enterprise software companies have roughly two choices: allow other agents of people’s choosing to build with the stack, or lock it up and sell crappy AI solutions waiting to be replaced by other agents building from scratch.

I had a fun time meeting folks building with AI, so great to see how much excitement and energy there is to reimagine ourselves and our future with curiosity Also grateful to share some of my thoughts on the future of software and using it Huge shoutout to Todd for organizing! Bullish Westfield (I might be biased 💪🏽)

Last night @toddsaunders asked the crowd: "How many people found out about this event from Twitter" About 50-60 people raised their hands "How many people found out from LinkedIn?" Six hands went up Do with this information what you will.

The future of AI is in the suburbs. This is the largest redistribution of software creation in history. And tonight it starts in Westfield NJ.

Today I'm launching the Wells Intelligence API & CLI. I love exploring data on maps and building with mapping tools. But AI agents see data in a different way. Watch this video for a walkthrough of what the Clearfork Wells CLI can do within Claude Code. I ask Claude to research a specific location in West Texas; it finds operators and permits, grabs and analyzes production history, and makes me an interactive map over a satellite image at the end (skip ahead to see it). Available today for Operator tier subscribers and higher. Check out Wells Intelligence: wells.clearforkintelligence.… API / CLI docs: clearforkintelligence.com/ap…

Grok has MCP connectors now, they work really well too. > custom MCP endpoints work, standard OAuth from the Grok UI > MCP connectors sync with your account, works immediately in Grok mobile (wonder if it works in Tesla UI?). Voice in Grok mobile is fast, works with MCP too > really, really fast in Auto model mode, that seemed to be sufficient for most tasks. will need to test Expert and Grok 4.3 to see what it can do with data and tools in a loop > fast chaining of tools (for GeoAI: geocode>buffer->query pipelines worked really well on all sorts of GIS data) > MCP Apps (for displaying UI elements in chat)- Grok thinks its available but it could not render any I tried (maps, measure tools etc). Claude does this flawlessly > had no problem building complex queries, pipelines or creating web maps > I think Claude uses tools in complex scenarios better but for v1 on MCP, this is a really great effort. congrats @grok @xai @SpaceX
