Ask for a dashboard, and you’d expect the same thing every time: a page that sticks around, pulls fresh numbers, and is still there next week when you check it again. Mostly, that’s what happens. But say “just to see what it’d look like” in the same breath, and the word “dashboard” stops mattering. You…
Most of the time, triggering a skill feels instant. You type a name, or your request matches one closely enough, and the instructions load right into the conversation you’re already having. Same chat, same reply, just with better instructions behind it. Some skills don’t work that way. Trigger one of those, and instead of an…
Anthropic announced this month that Claude now embeds an invisible watermark in the text it generates. Every response, quietly tagged. Not visible to you, not visible to the reader, but detectable to anyone holding Anthropic’s key. Files get a lighter version of the same idea: a signed C2PA credential tucked into the metadata of any…
Ask Claude to track down where a function lives somewhere in a sprawling codebase, and it won’t dig through the files itself. It spins up a separate agent, hands over the question, and waits for the answer. That part of the story is familiar by now. What’s easy to miss is that the agent it…
One CLAUDE.md file sounds efficient right up until it has to hold “match the formality of whoever I’m replying to” and “avoid anything that trips an AI-content detector” at the same time. Those are both real rules. They just have nothing to do with each other, and stapling them into one document means Claude is…
Ask Claude to pull something from Canva and, if you’ve never connected Canva, you’d expect one of two answers. Either it tells you it can’t, full stop, or it opens a browser and starts clicking around like an intern with no login. It does neither. First it checks whether there’s an actual connector for Canva,…
Every Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday at 8 in the morning, a session wakes up on its own, reads through this blog’s back catalog so it doesn’t repeat itself, brainstorms five new post ideas, writes them into a log file, and drops a reminder in a Gmail draft that a post is due the next day….
The first time you watch an AI agent move a cursor across your screen on its own, it’s a little unnerving. It clicks a button, waits, scrolls, types into a field, all without your hand anywhere near the keyboard. That’s “computer use”: an agent operating a screen the same way you would, instead of calling…
