Yep. Meanwhile I’m trying to figure out how can I make something that people would want to pay for, and how can I charge them, if they’re going to interact directly with Claude and burn their own quota.


anthro needs to let the creator charge % on top of their usage quota or give points/money to the creator to fix up the incentives here


That's a really good idea! That would handle micropayments that nobody would even bother with (to pay, to process, to receive, ...).

Could even have users select the payment %age or have it set by the contract tier between the app creator and the user (10% for simple user, 20% for pro access with other features, 40% enterprise,...).


Yes I agree strongly, if I could just make a small percentage for my mildly interesting LLM wrapper it would be perfect! @anthropic please implement this


That's what I've been preaching, too. The provider that does it, will win the game.
