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

Why would a product talk its users out of using it?

Remember that time grok told people not to use it for second opinions on their medical records? ...on second thought that might be an exception that proves the rule.

Is it any good?

No, it’s superficial slop Speaking as a big proponent of Claude code in general, which I find to be revolutionary and useful - there is no value in that report. To be honest, the people who I know who like that report are the ones who are getting sycophantically gaslit by the models more than they should.

:) I went through some Claude documentation that apparently came with my job's paid subscription.

Besides some vague description of how to use the API, it was just fluff. For example there were exactly zero hints on how to do your prompts.

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.

I feel this way too except for the music one. The whole reason I use spotify is because I want their algorithm to figure out what music I like.

How people prompt and the output that ensues is valuable data. So they would probably want variety as a free live experiment.

Meh, I have it integrated as a replacement for search engines at this point. I don’t even know that Claude is inherently better or if it’s more the lack of ads.

Search engines without ads exist. Try noai.duckduckgo.com. Decent search results, actual sources, no risk of hallucination, no extreme energy cost.

Kagi is an even better option, IME.

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.

agreed, but IMO thats been true for most off-the-shelf skills I've seen. Instead I built my own "/meta" skill to improve my workflows, which I can use in targeted ways across my projects
