Is MCP happening? I'd very much like to have AI assistant manage my MLO tasks. Open Claw and/or Claude assistant with MCP connections.
I'm just getting into Shortwave too. Just having Claude be able to review emails, notes in notion, then send a message to team in Slack is huge. Being able CRUD to MLO would be a very big win for that ecosystem On Friday, January 16, 2026 at 9:07:40 PM UTC-5 Daniel Clark wrote: > Re: AI, another data point is that the https://goblin.tools/ app is like > #4 in paid productivity Android apps.
