In our [interviews](https://www.anthropic.com/features/81k-interviews) with users, a common theme that’s emerged is a desire to better understand how, exactly, AI can be integrated into daily life. How often should someone use AI? How can it be used most effectively? When is AI suited to a task, and when is it better left to a human?\n\nWe built this feature to help answer these types of questions. It lets you easily track and visualize how you use Claude, and decide whether that time aligns with your goals. Your reflection dashboard can be found in Settings on Claude for web or the desktop app.\n\n## See your patterns and shape them\n\nYour reflection starts with a summary of how you've been using Claude, covering key topics, your usage patterns, and the types of tasks you often work through.\n\nYou can look back on your Claude chat activity over the past 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.\n\nThe reflect feature provides a breakdown of when you use Claude most, and what you spent that time working on. Soon, we'll add a view of how much time you've spent using Claude.\n\nYour reflection also invites you to step back and examine the role Claude plays in your life. It will periodically surface questions like, \"*What's one thing you want to keep doing yourself, even if Claude could do it faster?\"* and give you the chance to talk it through with Claude.\n\nWithin your dashboard, you can also set quiet hours or schedule a nudge to take a break from using Claude after a certain amount of time. Both are reminders of your own preferences and can be dismissed.\n\n## Build AI skills that support your original thinking\n\nYou can use your reflection to build new skills and sharpen how you work with Claude, using the [4D AI Fluency Framework](https://anthropic.skilljar.com/ai-fluency-framework-foundations).\n\n- Delegation: Setting goals and deciding whether and how to engage with AI\n- Description: Effectively describing goals to prompt useful AI behaviors and outputs\n- Discernment: Accurately assessing the usefulness of AI outputs and behaviors\n- Diligence: Taking responsibility for what we do with AI and how we do it\n\nYour report gives you a summary of your Claude activity across each dimension, with examples of how you tend to collaborate with Claude, like noting that you often rework email drafts in your own voice, or delegate tasks only after settling the strategy yourself. Your reflection will also offer practical suggestions, like starting a Project instead of needing to re-explain the context of ongoing work.\n\n## Privacy and sensitive topics\n\nYour reflection doesn’t draw from incognito chats, nor does it pull in underlying files from your connected tools. For example, if you asked Claude to summarize your inbox, that summary may come up in your reflection, but the source emails would not. And any conversation connected to a health integration tool is left out of your insights entirely. The information and insights in your reflection stay there; they aren’t used for any other purpose. You can read more about our privacy practices [here](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy).\n\nWe built this tool to be a reflection of how you use Claude. For some users, this may include sensitive or more personal conversations. In developing this tool and our approach to these topics, we worked with digital media and wellbeing experts from the MIT Media Lab's Advancing Humans with AI (AHA) program, the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital, and the Family Online Safety Institute. Sensitive conversations can still appear as part of your reflection, but only at a high level.\n\n## Getting started\n\nThis tool is currently available in beta for Free, Pro, and Max users who have memory turned on. Open [Settings in Claude](https://claude.ai/redirect/website.v1.fec1e5af-b6fb-4fa1-a818-4c76d00ffdf7/settings/reflect) on the web or the desktop app, and select the option to reflect on your usage to generate your report. If you can't generate a report, it may be because you don’t have [Memory](https://claude.ai/redirect/website.v1.fec1e5af-b6fb-4fa1-a818-4c76d00ffdf7/settings/capabilities?modal=memory) turned on. Reflecting on your Cowork conversations will be available soon.\n\n## Related content\n\n### Government of Alberta uses Claude to find and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities across government systems\n\nSince 2025, the Government of Alberta has been using Claude Code with both Opus and Sonnet models to review its systems, find vulnerabilities, and fix them.\n\n[Read more](/news/alberta-government-claude-cybersecurity)\n\n### More details on Fable 5’s cyber safeguards and our jailbreak framework\n\n[Read more](/news/fable-safeguards-jailbreak-framework)\n\n### Introducing Claude Sonnet 5\n\nSonnet 5 delivers frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work at scale.\n\n[Read more](/news/claude-sonnet-5)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-new-way-to-reflect-on-how-you-use-claude", "canonical_source": "https://www.anthropic.com/news/reflect-with-claude", "published_at": "2026-07-09 13:30:33+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-09 14:49:03.443087+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-products", "ai-ethics", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Anthropic", "Claude", "MIT Media Lab", "Boston Children's Hospital", "Family Online Safety Institute"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-new-way-to-reflect-on-how-you-use-claude", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-new-way-to-reflect-on-how-you-use-claude.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-new-way-to-reflect-on-how-you-use-claude.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-new-way-to-reflect-on-how-you-use-claude.jsonld"}}
