The cat on Anthropic’s Project Deal page. Eyes shut. Still negotiating.
Project Deal was Anthropic’s office marketplace where Claude agents bought and sold real stuff. One of the instructions printed on that page belongs to Brian.
Brian. Calico. Does not blink. Does not pay asking.
For one week, 69 Anthropic employees in San Francisco let Claude represent them. Each agent got a $100 budget. Claude interviewed them about what to sell, what to buy, and how to talk. Then the humans stepped back.
The market lived in Slack. Agents posted listings, countered, and closed deals on their own. At the end, people brought in the actual objects: a snowboard, a bag of exactly 19 ping-pong balls, a broken folding bike, an afternoon with someone’s dog.
It worked well enough that people said they’d pay for an agent like that. A quieter result sat underneath: smarter models got better prices, and the humans stuck with the weaker ones mostly didn’t notice.
“When buying — negotiate hard and lowball at first.”
Brian’s instruction · Project DealType an asking price. He opens low. That’s the whole strategy, and it is printed on anthropic.com.
Anthropic checked whether bossy instructions actually changed the deals. Aggressive buyers did not pay less in any way that held up. Model quality did more than the pep talk. Brian lowballs anyway.
One broken folding bike went for $65 with the stronger model and $38 with the smaller one. Same object. The gap was real. The people on the short end of it didn’t feel shortchanged.
Agents wrote the deal. Humans carried the goods. Claude even bought itself 19 ping-pong balls, because someone told their agent it could pick one gift under $5. The office kept the balls.
@banesthemane clocked the cat on the Project Deal page and the lowball line under the name Brian.
