Episode notes
Claude Focuses On Context Not Just Conversation
- Claude is a large language model focused on working with context rather than only chat.
- It excels at handling long documents, research, code, and structured workflows to collaboratively build outputs with you.
Store Context In Projects To Avoid Repeating Prompts
- Use Projects to store background context for each client or topic so Claude remembers it across threads.
- Patricia stores client folders with background info and resources to avoid pasting context into every prompt.
Canvas Lets You Co-Build Visual Outputs
- Canvas (artifacts) surfaces generated complex outputs in an editable workspace instead of inline chat.
- This makes interactions feel like co-building prototypes, dashboards, or landing pages with Claude.
