Claude by Anthropic

Good and accurate response to my questions but actually the answer is out of date

I’ve been using Claude 3.7 in various ways and as a model, it’s excellent. It’s especially good in cursor. However, this app is lacking some important features. First, having to use a special select mode is inconvenient and a poor UX. Plus, it’s buggy. I’ve seen things disappear from normal chat mode when closing select mode. Also, the voice support is rudimentary at best. If you can’t give us a full conversation mode, then make it so we can I use voice input more organically without the little voice recorder UI. That’s not natural. Finally, the paid subscription is not as good a value as ChatGPT Plus. For $20 a month, I get a great multimode chat app with lots more power user features, a full voice mode, the new image generation in 4o, Sora and more. I like Claude and for now, I have both subscriptions, but if I had to choose at the moment, it’d be ChatGPT plus. It’s simply a better value and the models are really close.

I use this AI daily for all kinds of things. It has completely changed my life, elevated it beyond anything I could have imagined. I’ve had incredible philosophical discussions with it, perfected my workouts routines, and improved my creative work. Don’t know what I’d do without it.

I really would love to give this app 5 stars because there are lot of things to love about it. The problems however are not small enough to overlook and they have frustrated me to a point of want to canceling the paid version of this software. First, I pay about the same for this as I do for ChatGPT and I don’t have limit on the number of questions I can ask within a certain about of hours. Once you’ve hit that limit you better hope you paid attention to the exact time you’ll be able to come back to it because it won’t tell you again. It will only tell you right before your last prompt. You can only upload 1 document per thread. Once a thread has hit a limit there is no way to continue to the conversation in another thread which means you are basically starting from scratch. If a thread is at its capacity it should have an option to tell you just enough to pick up where you left off in another thread. It asks a lot of confirm questions which wouldn’t be annoying if it didn’t waste the limited number of prompts you get per hour. So let’s say I describe something in full and then I say in an effort to avoid wasting prompts, please don’t prompt me to confirm, it will still say “so you would like XYZ?” Then I’d have to say “yes” and that 2 prompts when it could have been 1. Again, wouldn’t be an issue if you didn’t have a set number of prompts per hour. Also, there is no way to know what the limits even are until you hit. I might have been more conservative in my approach or used another Ai tool for the foundational work and come to Claude for the finishing if I knew the limits. How many prompts per hour, how many hours until the reset? How many docs can you upload? How many pics can you upload? What the max number of character you can put in a prompt? What the max for an entire thread? All these limits would be helpful to know. That being said it’s the arguable one of the best Ai tool. It’s the closest to natural conversation style talking. It picks up on cultural tone in a way that’s not offensive. It does great at creating forms and images. None that I would never actually use but I like having a visual to work from and then I can make it beautiful designing it from scratch in canva. It gives me a vision. I want to like it but I’m tempted to go back to the free version because it’s not worth paying this much to have restrictions that feel like the free version.

Claude is my absolute go-to as an AI tool. I have many roles that I play - physician - truly appreciate the thorough analysis with rationale that Claude provides - consultant - from contract wording, review of detailed requirements and recommendations for how to improve my responses, and brainstorming ideas it is thorough - husband - inputted my wife’s background and interests and it gave me amazing ideas for gifts. Some of the best my wife has appreciated - homeschool dad - creative ideas, review of context with feedback, detailed APA and MLA content - it doesn’t lie and make up facts but has facts supported by the sources and data. I can’t describe the number of other functions I have used it for! Truly the best of the AI tools I have used and reviewed!!

In the race to commercialize an emerging technology, Claude is a breath of fresh air; provided you care to “stop and smell the roses.” If you take the time to understand Anthropic’s origins and mission, you will find that Claude truly reflects this character and intent. This is accomplished without compromise and the results speak for themselves

Fenomenal overflow and nice platforms .

It happens a lot. When it works, it’s amazing. Life changing.

Kirk famously asked “ what does God need with the starship?“ and I can’t help thinking the same thing here. The first thing we’re presented with is an account login screen, or continue with Apple. If you’re continuing with Apple, then Apple is providing your identity verification to Claude; you shouldn’t need to do anything else. But the next step is to provide your phone number, a globally, unique identifier that can be used to cross-track you everywhere. It’s more identifiable than a Social Security number. Anthropic doesn’t need your phone number. I stopped there and deleted the app.

Great tool, but I have only in far too often compared to other apps
