@37signals truly nailed it with their agent integration. I asked @jasonfried a few weeks ago for his thoughts and should have taken his advice. I tried the "traditional" route and went Notion first as I thought the CLI was too difficult. I was 100% wrong. Notion was a money suck and was a total waste of time. Easy to deploy, awful to use. I asked Grok to set up the Basecamp CLI and Grok installed it on the Grok computer (not mine) so integration took 30 seconds and I did it via voice while driving. Within 10 minutes it was reading and writing to my Basecamp project and I truly never touched a key. Now Grok and Claude are collaborating with me via Basecamp like an actual team. Pure brilliance and lesson learned! 🚀🤖

@gary_teroller @mustafa_2vec @jasonfried I have been putting it off, but I’m finally doing it this weekend myself as well! Long overdue on my part Basecamp has and will always be my favorite platform. It’s just super solid, super simple and frankly the best!

I’ve currently got nine projects inside Basecamp and each project has different team members or clients in so instead of me using human assistance inside Basecamp and potentially missing small things as there is so much data being shared. I have a dedicated Grok Bot admin agent in all workspaces, and it keeps everything updated and will pull from any nuances that are in emails and it will reply to /clients with any questions they have inside their Basecamp immediately. a live example is a Grok Bot agent is currently speaking with a customer of ours about pricing on vendors for their restaurant and that same agent is going out and sourcing vendors, negotiating pricing, and then coming back and informing the client on Basecamp

If you're busily answering emails to clear your inbox, you are working a list, it's just not your list. It's an agenda others have set for you. If you're working the lists and projects you've created in a system like @basecamp you are working your list. You're focused on the agenda you've created. Answering an endless stream of emails comes last if at all in my priorities these days.

after years of listening to rework podcast i finally get to choose the tools myself. and i'm trying @basecamp for our still small team. we just had slack and github and its a mess. you don't get a picture of whats going on when everything is scattered and mixed with other unrelated stuff. especially now that there is so much more of everything when agents are involved. basecamp could be the place where the humans intentionally keep each other up to date with project related work. ideas spark while communicating in slack, and we move to basecamp as soon as someone is working on it. thats the idea at least. its not straightforward if something should be a message on the message board, or a todolist, or an entire project. projects feel like too much now that a single person can do really big things in 1-2 days with agents. how do you guys do it at @37signals?
