Claude Sonnet 4.5 dropped and it's already live in @databutton!

Avengers, our in-house app built in Databutton, is our single source of truth on customer success.
Started with one problem: fetching user activity from our database.
Our GTM team built from there.
When anyone can build, tweak, or improve software you get more done.
We've shipped 1000+ AI apps at Databutton.
Here's how the best builders ship something meaningful in a weekend:
1. Start building before they're ready
2. Own their prompts like code
3. Use # to target specific pages
4. Speed then scale
Happy friday /Shipend
Since founding Databutton we've carried a core principle:
The user and buyer must be the same person.
Why? Because it creates the tightest feedback loop possible.
When your user is your buyer, you get direct, unfiltered feedback fast.
Selfie taken before I got roasted.
Want your entire company to use AI?
Here's a tip from our CTO:
Teach it to one person in your company
If you can't teach one person to build simple AI tools, you need to practice more yourself to understand its capabilities
Once you’ve taught one person It’ll spread by itself
Office plants are dying this summer!! Or at least ours were.
So I built a Slack notifier in 20 minutes telling us when they need water. Here's how I did it:

Free @DatabuttonHQ credits weren’t enough for the @Shopify gang, so I took to the streets with a gift basket.
I just want to help.
6,000 people got laid off yesterday,
Some of whom I worked with during my time at @Microsoft .
Maybe it's AI getting better, maybe it’s “standard business”
But to anyone affected:
If you need any help finding a new job, are interested in a role at @DatabuttonHQ, or just want to talk about what to do next, my DMs are open.
