Record screen tasks as Claude skills

Screen-record yourself doing a task while talking through it and Claude Cowork turns the recording into a reusable skill it can run again. Lives in the + menu of the Claude desktop app. Pro, Max and Team plans. Recordings are turned into a skill file for your library, not used to train the model. Worth a caution though: a recording captures whatever's on screen, so take care not to leave account numbers or sensitive tools visible

Fable access changing as of today

If you've been using Claude's Fable 5 model on a Pro or Team Standard plan, here's something to catch before it catches you. As of today, that access is ending. You'll get a one-time $100 credit, then any further Fable use gets billed separately at API rates instead of sitting inside your subscription. On Max or Team Premium, Fable 5 stays, but at half your usual weekly limits, and the overall limits on those plans are dropping by a third from today too. Worth checking which model you're actually running day to day. If you're not sure, just ask and we'll work it out together.

Claude's New Reflect Dashboard Shows How You Actually Use It

Anthropic launched Reflect, a new dashboard under Settings that surfaces your actual Claude usage patterns, like which prompts fire most, which workflows you rely on, how your habits are shifting. It only works if you've got memory turned on and it's still in beta, so not everyone will see it straight away. If you're curious whether Claude is earning its place in your week, this gives you real data instead of a gut feel.

Claude Cowork moves to mobile and background processing

You can now hand off complex tasks to Claude that continue running while your laptop is closed. This update lets you start work at your desk and review final drafts on your phone, so you aren't tied to one screen to get things done.
