I definitely thought this was an anthropic thing that they were trying to spin off into it's own website and app for normies.

I am not saying it's infringement, I am just saying that my dumb brain made that connection and I feel like it's not unreasonable to assume that other people might as well.

I also made the assumption. Once I found out it wasn't it was a huge red flag. I don't like it at all.

Agreed - I was about to send this round to my colleagues.

For once reading the comments first has paid off!

This is exactly why trademarks exist, and why if they want to bother, Anthropic can 100% make them change the name.

Same reason you can't release a handheld console called the Gamegirl, or a voice assistant called Alexis.

Once Anthropic starts receiving a wave of support tickets they would be forced to change their name, CLAUDia is just a misspelled ClaudAi

Oh wow. I thought it was anthropic even after skimming the site. The color scheme and styling is pretty similar. That feels a little slimy.

Same here, first thing I did was to scroll down to see company in the footer and nope... somebody will be receiving legal letters soon I'd guess.

Same. But of course, I checked the GitHub first, and I really dislike this confusion. I don't trust someone with my AI tools that's acting like they are trying to trick me into giving them sensitive access. Nope.
