Thursday we're introducing, in beta, a new way to reflect on and refine 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. How often should someone use AI? How can it be used most effectively? When is AI suited to a task, and when is it better left to a human?

We built this feature to help answer these types of questions. It lets you easily track and visualize how you use Claude, and decide whether that time aligns with your goals. Your reflection dashboard can be found in Settings on Claude for web or the desktop app.

See your patterns and shape them

Your reflection starts with a summary of how you've been using Claude, covering key topics, your usage patterns, and the types of tasks you often work through.

You can look back on your Claude chat activity over the past 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.

The reflect feature provides a breakdown of when you use Claude most, and what you spent that time working on. Soon, we'll add a view of how much time you've spent using Claude.

Your reflection also invites you to step back and examine the role Claude plays in your life. It will periodically surface questions like, "What's one thing you want to keep doing yourself, even if Claude could do it faster?" and give you the chance to talk it through with Claude.

Within your dashboard, you can also set quiet hours or schedule a nudge to take a break from using Claude after a certain amount of time. Both are reminders of your own preferences and can be dismissed.

Build AI skills that support your original thinking

You can use your reflection to build new skills and sharpen how you work with Claude, using the 4D AI Fluency Framework.

Delegation: Setting goals and deciding whether and how to engage with AI
Description: Effectively describing goals to prompt useful AI behaviors and outputs
Discernment: Accurately assessing the usefulness of AI outputs and behaviors
Diligence: Taking responsibility for what we do with AI and how we do it

Your report gives you a summary of your Claude activity across each dimension, with examples of how you tend to collaborate with Claude, like noting that you often rework email drafts in your own voice, or delegate tasks only after settling the strategy yourself. Your reflection will also offer practical suggestions, like starting a Project instead of needing to re-explain the context of ongoing work.
