Show HN: Self-hosted Slack bot to mention Claude

A self-hosted Slack bot that integrates Claude AI is showcased on GitHub. The project allows users to mention @Claude in Slack channels to get AI-powered responses, offering a self-managed alternative to hosted solutions.

Background

- Claude is an AI assistant (similar to ChatGPT) created by Anthropic. This project lets you run your own ("self-hosted") version of a Slack bot powered by Claude. - Instead of using Slack's built-in AI features or paying per-seat, this bot runs on your own infrastructure and lets you @mention Claude in Slack channels to get answers. - Self-hosting means you control the data (messages stay within your system) and you pay only for the API usage, which can be cheaper for teams. - The project is open-source (on GitHub) and aimed at developers or teams who want an AI bot integrated into their existing Slack workspace without sending data to third-party services.
