What's great
Claude has fast become an irreplaceable sidekick (or mastermind, but what do I know?) to both my personal life and startup.
I particularly enjoy its ability to understand and recall context from different chats, making it a lot easier to continue your thought process without stopping to remind it on background information.
Claude replies also come with nuance and warmth, making it feel a lot more natural without being overly pleasing.
What needs improvement
Pricing
While it has a lot of merits, I'd like Claude to be more transparent about what it thinks I need regarding subscription plan. Instead of a trial-and-error process, it would be helpful for Claude to estimate what is required and suggest which level of subscription I should get on. Having used Claude for a few months now, I believe there is enough data for Claude to make suggestions.
I'd happily accept the risk that Claude over-estimates my credit needs, rather than having to guess – only to hit a wall when you're in the flow.
Onboarding
There is a lot of discussion about how Claude works differently than ChatGPT and other platforms. For ease of migration, it's worth considering having some of those differences (and how a user should adapt) be part of the UI – instead of only living in the docs.
vs Alternatives
ChatGPT by OpenAIClaude has the best answers (except for research, where Perplexity is still better) that balances empathy and diversity of thoughts. It also remembers previous contexts, and overall makes it easy to create dedicated spaces for each projects.
