Summary
Anthropic announced a new 'reflection dashboard' for Claude, dubbed 'Claude Wrapped' by some, that allows users to analyze their chatbot usage patterns over customizable time periods (one month, three months, six months, or one year). The feature displays key topics discussed with Claude, types of tasks delegated, usage patterns including peak times, and invites users to reflect on their relationship with the AI tool through prompts like "What's one thing you want to keep doing yourself, even if Claude could do it faster?"
The reflect feature aligns with Anthropic's marketing positioning of Claude as an "AI collaborator" designed to enhance human thinking rather than replace it. The dashboard emphasizes building "AI skills that support your original thinking" by showing concrete examples of user behavior patterns, such as reworking email drafts in personal voice or testing strategies before delegation. The feature also includes wellness components like quiet hours and break reminders after prolonged usage.
Currently available in beta to free, Pro, and Max tier Claude users, the reflection dashboard requires memory to be enabled and is accessible via Settings on the web or desktop app. Notably, the feature excludes sensitive conversations from detailed analysis and does not pull from connected tools or incognito mode chats. Anthropic has indicated that a total time-spent metric will be added soon, and the feature will extend to Claude Cowork in the future.
