  • “…And it is allowing us to move with much higher speed. As a concrete example, an engineer at Spotify on their morning commute, from Slack on their cell phone can tell Claude to fix a bug or add a new feature to the iOS app. And once Claude finishes that work, the engineer then gets a new version of the app pushed to them on Slack on their phone, so that he can then merge it to production. All before they even arrived at the office. We call the system internally Honk, and we have been told by key AI partners that our work here is industry leading…In terms of transformation of internal processes, I did briefly share in my prepared remarks this tool called Honk. Where you can, using Claude Code, literally on the bus or the train, just ask Claude to add a feature or a bug to, for example, the iOS code base. It will push a QR code back to you so that you can actually try the app with that feature. If you like it, you can merge it to production without even getting off the bus. This is speeding us up tremendously. Now we foresee this not being the end of the line in terms of AI development, just the beginning.“
