Say hello to Claude Wrapped

The popularity of Spotify Wrapped has kicked off a wide range of year-in-review features, on apps from YouTube to Uber — and now, the lookback trend has come to AI. Anthropic on Thursday announced a “reflect” feature for its Claude chatbot, allowing users to see an analysis of their usage data over the past month, three months, six months, or year.

Anthropic bills the reflection dashboard as a way to “see your patterns and shape them,” the company wrote in a blog post. It begins with a summary of an individual’s key topics brought up with Claude, as well as types of tasks they delegate and their usage patterns, including peak usage times. Users will also be able to set their own “quiet hours” or break reminders after certain amounts of time. (Anthropic also said that an analysis of total time spent using Claude, seeming to imply a metric like hours of usage tallied up, would be coming soon.)

“It lets you easily track and visualize how you use Claude, and decide whether that time aligns with your goals … 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?’” Anthropic wrote. Somewhat ironically, once a user answers such a question, the company said the dashboard would then give them “the chance to talk it through with Claude.”

Anthropic has spent a lot of money marketing itself as the company behind an “AI collaborator” that allows people to think more deeply — there have been ads, billboards, and even literal “thinking” caps. And Claude’s “reflect” feature is billed the same way, with the company’s blog post instructing people to use it to “build AI skills that support your original thinking.” The feature will show examples of how you interact with Claude, “like noting that you often rework email drafts in your own voice, or delegate tasks only after settling the strategy yourself,” Anthropic wrote.

Anthropic said the reflection dashboard won’t pull from files within connected tools or platforms (like the actual emails within a connected email account), though the fact that a user may have used Claude to summarize their email inbox may come up in the reflection. It also won’t pull from chats that occurred in incognito mode or in any way reference a “conversation connected to a health integration tool.” As far as “sensitive topics,” which the Anthropic is vague about defining, the company wrote that “sensitive conversations can still appear as part of your reflection, but only at a high level.”

The feature, which is currently available in beta mode for free users of Claude, as well as Pro and Max subscribers, will work for those who have memory turned on for their chats, and it’s accessible via Settings on either the web or the Claude desktop app. The idea came from interviews with Claude users, Anthropic said, and the feature will also come to Claude Cowork “soon.”
