AI agents brought back "report-v2-FINAL.html"

by

Something funny is happening in teams that use AI agents heavily (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex).

The agents produce genuinely good files: research docs, HTML reports, analysis CSVs. And then the sharing collapses into 2007: people upload the HTML into Slack, the next version gets uploaded again with a new name, and a week later nobody knows which file is current or where it lives. I've watched my own team do it. I've watched customers build duct-tape internal tools just to pass agent-made HTML files around.

It's the pre-Dropbox pattern all over again: real files, no shared home, versioning by filename.

Curious how other teams handle this. When your agent (or a teammate's) makes something useful, how does it actually reach the rest of the team? Paste into Notion? Slack uploads? Git? Nothing?

(We got annoyed enough to build our own fix. Launching it here Wednesday, but mostly I want to hear how you deal with this today.)
