🪄 “There is real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.” — Norman Vincent Peale

Hello Reader,

If you haven’t been using Claude, it might be time to give it a try. Anthropic has released a bunch of new Claude features recently.

Claude Code has Twitter in a tizzy the last couple of weeks, especially after somebody released the Ralph Wiggum plugin.

Here’s a 10-minute video overview by Alex Finn.

TL;DW – the Simpson’s character Ralph Wiggum (ha! ha! I’m in danger!) revises your output until it meets goals.

I’ve been playing around with the Claude Chrome browser extension, and it has successfully taken a lot of busy work off of my hands, including:

  • Manual cleanup of 100 Trello cards
  • Sift through Google Analytics data to find UTM parameters
  • Research competitor websites and compile a report
  • Read events on my calendar and log time in a spreadsheet

What I like so much about this extension is it creates a chat window on the right side of your browser, so you don’t have to switch windows. If I navigate away, I don’t see that chat window; it’s only there when I am using that browser tab.

Claude creates a plan, and asks you to approve it before proceeding. If you’ve done any vibe coding with tools like Cursor, this will feel very familiar; you articulate what you want, and approve, approve, approve.

The next big thing Claude is releasing is Cowork, which uses the same framework as Claude Code to do what the Chrome extension does, but on your desktop.

Here is a demo of Claude Cowork cleaning a messy desktop:

Cowork will be rolled out to Max Plan users first ($200/mo) and in tiered releases after that.

If you use another tool as your main LLM, I recommend you get Claude into your daily Ai use, to familiarise yourself with its quirks before there’s a tool you really want to try.

Editing images is MUCH easier in Gemini’s Nano Banana. While I use the ChatGPT image generator all the time, it just can’t handle minor edits. Gemini CAN.
