A new way to reflect on how you use Claude

> In our interviews with users, a common theme that’s emerged is a desire to better understand how, exactly, AI can be integrated into daily life. I don't want to integrate AI into daily life.

For most people, I guess it will say you need to take an English grammer course and draft your own email.

In claude code, there's a built-in skill `/insights` which gives you a report on how you've been using claude code and where you could improve.

This looks like mindless data tourism to me. I don't see much distinction between this and something like Spotify's annual "wrapped" feature. The information theoretical equivalent of junk food.

This reads very promotional, like an ad.

I just feel that any attempt of a service I use to summarize and analyze my interactions with it, whether it's the AI tool usage patterns or the music I listened to the most over the past year, makes me feel creepy and makes me want to use the service less. Imagine if your local grocery store came back to you saying that you ate this many chocolate bars over the year. Thanks, I know that you know that, but I don't want you to show me that you know that.

Interesting, I am not able to see it, and I have memory enabled.

I've integrated AI into my daily life by installing the Gemini voice app onto my phone, which I typically may use once a week, and adding Gemini and Claude bookmarks to my browser which I use all the time - but mostly Gemini since free usage is effectively unlimited. That's all the integration I need. I don't need OpenClaw running 24x7 trying to hack it's way into my gmail.

It seems saying "Your way to use Claude is wrong somehow, you should improve the way to use AI", instead of "Our tools have some wrong aspects and we will do our best to improve them".

I think there's a germ of a good idea here, but really this needs to be data that is presented in a way that encourages human thought and interpretation and not something claude predigests and interprets _for_ you. I found the whole tone as it's executed incredibly off-putting and cringe inducing.

This product feels bad and sloppy, so I’ll give my hypothesis for why this was built: At this point, Anthropic is likely having Claude itself propose and build features autonomously based on providing it with raw user feedback. This could be one example. Which is why it has an eerie sense of redundancy and pointlessness (“You mostly used Claude to automate work and home tasks”, etc.).

> If you can't generate a report, it may be because you don’t have Memory turned on. Has anyone found success with memory and Claude Code? I found Opus's 4.8 memories largely lacking value. Memories are too verbose/specific/yet-generic for the value captured. Instead, I've been holding "retros" with the agent immediately after a session, and _those_ responses have been typically fantastic. It has ideas for coding changes, spots unmentioned small bugs, suggests invariants, principles to adopt, lint rules, tooling tweaks, skill-file updates, follow up work, all kinds of stuff.

Is anthropic paying you guys for all this free advertising dang? This is pathetic.

> It lets you easily track and visualize how you use Claude, and decide whether that time aligns with your goals. i haven't yet encountered/achieved ai summarization technique nuanced enough to be called reflection and this seems basic too with no mention of behavioural patterns or workflow suitability

Here's my take as someone who was using Claude everyday for every little thing and now I've deleted my account because I didn't like what it was doing to my mind. What goes totally unmentioned in the article is that this feature is designed to help mitigate dark usage patterns. My major concern with chatbots is excessive usage can lead to AI psychosis or negative rumination (depression). A feature that makes user's more self-aware of their usage patterns is a good thing. Making the user more self-aware is a necessary first step that will precede any kind of intervention to reduce their reliance. Where this fails is it frames the intervention as a moderation problem. It may seem counterintuitive, but moderation takes more self-control than elimination. If you struggle with your relationship to LLMs, then every time you make a choice whether or not to engage with a LLM is an opportunity to struggle. The more you struggle, the worse you feel. Obviously Anthropic cannot advocate for churning from their product. The psychological stickiness of their product is its primary selling point for investors. When they say "set quiet hours and breaks" it frames this as a user problem. Just get good bruh, it's not that the technology hallucinates or is sycophantic, or basically designed to be a AI girlfriend / boyfriend, it's a skill issue. Rather than a technology being applied incorrectly and a company floundering to hook users before they try to jack up the prices to stay solvent. I find the "AI Fluency" course particularly ridiculous. > Build AI skills that support your original thinking This is a straight-up lie. When you outsource your thinking to Claude then your ability to produce original thought degrades. The whole framework for using LLMs is the sort of thing you see from tech bros on Twitter trying to sell online courses. It reminds me of the intellectual yet idiot essay by Nassim Taleb[1]. Don't let Anthropic tell you how to think under the guise of doom trolling[2] and tech bro "thinking frameworks". Think for yourself!
