Meet Firefly AI Assistant, now live in Adobe Firefly, the All In One Creative AI Studio. Just describe what you want to create and the assistant handles the rest, orchestrating multi-step workflows across Photoshop, Premiere Express, and more in one conversational interface. You direct the outcome. The assistant accelerates execution. There's a lot of obvious shortcomings when it comes to today's large language models.

Some are serious like hallucinations and jailbreaking. And some aren't so serious. Like when a large language model says you're absolutely right when you give it feedback or how most models can't even create a file. Well, at least that last shortcoming may finally be a problem of the past. That's because Anthropics slipped in a major feature recently into its clawed chatbot, the ability to create common files with natural language. No more copy and pasting. No more getting rid of that weird format.

It sounds small, but it's actually kind of big. Because if you're anything like me, you probably have hordes of helpful chats inside of large language models where the info just sits there. All those golden nuggets. just go unpicked and unused because you forget to do the copy paste export dance to extract and save those valuable insights. So that's what we're going to be tackling today. What I think, at least right now, is the simplest way to create files in an AI chatbot

and probably Claude's most slept on feature. All right, welcome to Everyday AI and our AI at Work on Wednesday series. Thanks for tuning in. My name is Jordan Wilson. And if you're new here, this thing is for you. It's your daily live stream podcast and free daily news that are helping everyday business leaders like you and me make sense of all these AI updates that are coming at us nonstop and helps us make use of it and actually save time, grow our companies and our careers. So if that's what you're trying to do, awesome. It starts here with the live stream podcast on edited, unscripted.

But if you want to take it to the next level, make sure to go to, our website at your everyday AI.com. There, we're going to recap just the highlights from today's show, as well as all of the other AI news. That's important. All right. Let's talk file creation in Claude, though. So stick around.

And by the end of today's show, you'll understand why traditional AI chatbots really struggle to create simple files. Like, it shouldn't be that hard, but for some reason it is. You'll also know how Claude makes this work and the best practices for how to use it. And you're going to get some insights on some of the best use cases for file creation inside Claude. Also, stick around at the end. I'm going to tell you how to get our guide on the 10 best use cases for file creation inside Anthropic Cloud. So this got slept on.

And here's the reason why. Anthropic sometimes is one of the most innovative. companies. But their go-to-market strategy is pretty bad, I'd say. Mainly because some of their better features just get rolled out to their max users, which is those people on the $100 or $200 a month plan. Let's be honest. When Chad GPT or Google do something have a huge feature and it's only available to those on the highest tiered plan, it's usually something kind of groundbreaking, right? Like when Sora first came out or, you know, Google, same thing, when their V-O-3 first came out. So when Claude rolls out file creation, yeah, it's really cool, but it's not a sexy feature

that's going to grab headlines. And Anthropic is very far away in terms of number of users from Gemini and ChatGBT. So that's why some of these helpful features, if they don't get rolled out to everyone at once on Claude, you might miss them. So they actually rolled this out to just the higher tiered people in September. And then about last week, they completed the rollout to everyone. Sorry, all paid users in Claude. So here's kind of the new capabilities at a glance. So now I think this solves one of the biggest productivity problems, actually,

making native files inside of an AI chatbot. Like I said in kind of the opening there, you probably, whether you know it or not, you probably have so much incredible information inside of chatGBT or Gemini or Claude or co-pilot that just sits there unused and it could probably really help you. And one of the reasons why, well, if you've ever done this and you're trying to copy and paste something from a chatbot into a Google Doc or a Microsoft, Word document or an Excel sheet. Sometimes large language models have very strange formatting.

It adds these extra tabs sometimes or a strange background color that it seems like it can get rid of, right? So not only is this a huge leap forward in capabilities if you are a pro user of Claude on the $20 a month plan and you can export files, but you can also sync them to Google Docs, which is actually a huge time saver for me personally, because I usually use between, I think, like three computers on an ongoing basis. So even downloading files for me sometimes,

I'm like, that's not very helpful because then I'll forget to sync them, you know, in my Google Drive. And this also tackles that copy and paste time trap that I talked about in the formatting wars that plagues many power users. So here's some of the new changes and some specifics.

So like I said, they rolled this out originally in September, but now in October, it's going out to all pro users. Here's how it works. It essentially runs Python and node.js, a JavaScript file, in a sandbox environment behind the scenes. And I'll tell you in a little bit why that's actually extremely important. And it automates the conversion analysis and extraction workflows through simple chat prompts, eliminating the tool switching that you would normally have to do.

Right. So I do this constantly in Chad, TPT, and Gemini. What I have to do, if I really want something, I either have to copy and paste it in the formatting. Y'all, it's one of those things. If you know, you know, if you're a power user, you know those little annoying things that it's like, oh, this should take 30 seconds to fix and reformat. And then it takes 10 minutes, right?

Sometimes I literally have a text edit document open. And I paste it in. I stripped all formatting. I'd copy and paste it into a Google Doc and re-format it. Because, yes, some things are just that difficult when it comes to this sticky weird formatting of

large language models sometimes. But it's not all perfect fun in games. There are added security risks in doing this, which I'm going to talk about, as well as reliability issues. There's still some formatting tweaks that you're going to have to do. And there's, like

I said, still limited access. It's only for paid users. All right. Here's how to enable it. So if you are on any paid account in Claude, you're going to go into your settings. On the left hand side, you're going to see a capabilities tab. And then you are going to enable the toggle that says code, execution, and file creation. And that's it.

And you will have to kind of prompt Claude to do this, right? Hey, create a PDF, create a PowerPoint presentation, create a spreadsheet. in an XLS format, right? Create a word doc, dot, doc, right? Sometimes, if you're not too specific, it won't do it. It'll just create a normal artifact, right? Which artifacts in Claude are great, right? They're kind of an interactive window where you can render and run code,

but also it will, you know, can save like a document there. But if you don't ask it specifically, sometimes it won't do it. So unlike, you know, certain features in chat, or Gemini, this isn't a toggle, right? File creation. There's no file creation toggle. You just have to enable it in your settings and then prompt and tell it to create a specific file. And that'll do it. This is kind of technically a preview of the newer skills feature in Claude, which I don't know. By the way, like I don't do a ton of Claude stuff. And there's reasons. And I'll probably get to those reasons here in a minute. But if you want to see me do something on the

skills feature that Claude rolled out about about a week or two ago. Just let me know. Just drop skills in the comments. Or, you know, if you're on the listening on the podcast, which we appreciate on Spotify, just type in skills. All right. So I'll know if people really want to see that or not. So that's how you enable it.

See it today at firefly.adopo.com. Let's put AI to work, y'all. Our new Wednesday series, we do live demos. Nothing ever goes wrong. That's a joke.

Doing live demos of generative AI is extremely dangerous. And my dangerous, it just means it might blow up in my face and make me look silly. But let's hope it doesn't. And let's go ahead and get started. So I have two prompts kind of ready to go. And I'm going to get this started. and do it live. So I have my first one going.

That is the exact same one. All right. Cool. Yep, that's the same one. So good thing I stopped myself from doing that. All right. So I started my first one and I'll tell you all what it is here in a second. Let me get my second one going.

So I don't have to copy, type this one out. This one takes a little while. And I'm actually going to do opus for this one. All right. So we're getting a little variety. All right. So let me tell you now that it's working live. All right.

Let me tell you what this first kind of example prompt was. All right. So let's think of the capabilities of this new file creation. So yes, it can create files, which is cool. Right. But think large language models are multimodemort. multimodal, right? You can input different file types as well and convert them and mix and match them. I wanted to do something fairly simple that I knew Claude would be able to handle or hopefully

be able to handle. So in this case, what I did is I uploaded a PDF. All right. This is one of my shows that I did a while ago, maybe, I don't know, three to six months ago. So in the prompt, I said this, this presentation, so the presentation is a PDF that I uploaded, is about six months old. Research deeply, info from July 2025 to October 2025, and add three more slides in the middle of this presentation and save it as a PowerPoint file. Your only deliverable is an updated presentation saved as a PowerPoint. Yeah, I did do this prompt a couple times because the first time, even when I said, save it as a PowerPoint file, it didn't. Right. So yeah, you might have to say it two or three times, or if your prompt gets a little long and you say it once in the beginning, you might just

have to sandwich it again at the end. There's a technical term for that, but yeah, it actually works with large sandwich models. If you have something longer, sandwich it, say it once in the beginning, once in the end. Then I said keep the rest of the presentation the same, but you need to find a seamless way to create the updated content and ensure it's styled and formatted the same way. It uses the same tone of voice and angle of messaging.

All right. And then I gave it the link that went along with that podcast. So if you'll find more information, right, because obviously, I want to make sure that it goes to looks at the entire transcript that went along with this podcast presentation. So when I say presentation, if you listen on the podcast, I always have a, you know, I'm always sharing my screen. It's usually nothing overly visual.

In this case, nothing crazy visual, but I'll explain to you here in a minute. But I just uploaded a PDF. It's usually the slides that I share on the screen during the podcast. So a couple of things that are hopefully going on that the model will do. do. It will read through the file I uploaded. It will go and look up additional information on the website that I gave it. Then it'll hopefully go out and do some research. Then it's probably going to run a lot of Python code and start creating and converting, right? That's the other thing. I gave it a PDF. I asked for a complete PowerPoint file. So it's going to probably, again, generative AI is

generative. You're going to get something maybe a little different every time. It's probably going to recreate this PDF presentation in a PowerPoint file. It's going to try to make it look as much as it can like the original, which I just created in Canva. It's nothing, like I said, overly visual. And then it's going to insert in hopefully a seamless way that updated and fresh information. All right. So we're going to look. It's still cooking.

We're going to give it a couple of minutes to cook. All right. Now, I'm going to jump into the second one that I did. All right. So podcast people, you're not missing anything yet, visual, but I will tell you when something happens. So in this prompt, I am saying in August 2025, A16Z came up with a list called the top, and this list is actually wrong, or my prompt is wrong, which I do on purpose sometimes.

If you watch the show, you know that. Testing large language models. Sometimes you want to throw them a little bit of a curveball to see if they can still find their way. So I said it's the top 10 Gen AI Consumer Apps, and I believe it was actually the top 50. So we'll see how Claude does. It should do fine. Oh, and by the way, the first version where it's recreating, I'm using Sonnet 4.5. And on this prompt doing the A16Z list, I'm using Opus 4.1.

So what I'm saying is, you will research. deeply, right, focusing on the most up-to-date information. But I said from this list of 50, not 10, your task is to deeply research the top 20 from their list and then deliver me three different things. I want a downloadable, a downloadable spreadsheet in XLS format with the top 20 on the list, their name, company headquarter location, number of employees, CEO's name, money raised so far, last reported revenue. and then unique product and features.

Just that right there is a ton of research because the A16Z list does not have all that. Obviously, it just has like one or two of those six different data points that I'm asking it. So not only is it going to have to go find this list, the correct one, it's going to have to do a ton of research, run a lot of code to create this spreadsheet and for me to download.

That's deliverable number one. deliverable number two, I'm saying a downloadable PDF that sorts the top 20 by category of tool or use case and gives short marketing copy copy overview of the company and who can use their tools and for what use cases, right? So going from kind of bullet points and spreadsheets to practical use cases and some marketing language and to sort all of them by category. All right. And then last but not least, I'm asking for a downloadable. PowerPoint that conveys this information. And here I'm giving the model a little leeway. I'm saying you can put it together however you see fit, but make sure it's info packed yet sleek in aesthetics and a clean presentation. All right. So it's that one's working. We're going to give both of those

some time to cook. So if you're listening on the podcast, what's essentially happening now is the model is going through multiple steps, right? So the live stream audience can see it. It's right now the second prompt. It's writing. It looks like it's writing some title slides right now in HTML. The other one is still writing some Python code. So happening right now in a secure sandbox environment.

So let's jump back in and go over the details. And then we're going to check back in at the end. And we'll see. If we cannot make this show drag on just to get the results. All right. Why do most large language models fail at doing this, right? I will say this. Copilot, Microsoft copilot is not a large language model.

It is a system that uses other large language models. Mainly, it uses open AIs models, but in some of their new agent releases from September, they did start to use some of Claude's, Anthropic Clause models as well. So for the most part, why have traditionally clawed up until now, but also still chat GBT and Gemini struggled to create files by default, right? If you use an agent mode, that's a little different, right? These, as an example, chat GPT agent mode can nice and easily create Excel sheets, PowerPoint, et cetera, although they don't usually look that good and it takes a very long time.

But for the most part, Large language models are sandbox. So their direct file system rights are intentionally disabled for safety. So it's actually a built in feature that most models, non-agentic models by default, cannot write files. All right. Yeah, a lot of people don't know that. And they're like, oh, these large language models are so dumb.

Well, originally they weren't built to do that. Also, there are some complex and proprietary office open. XML specs that are kind of unforgiving. So it's not easy, right? It's really not. That's one thing. Actually, Microsoft co-pilot doesn't get a ton of, doesn't get a ton of fanfare for its ability to create, obviously, you know, PowerPoints and Word docs and Excel sheets because it's not easy for third parties to do it. And what happens, like I've already said, that users waste hours, right? Especially if you are a large language model heavy team or heavy organization.

You probably spend more time formatting, cleaning, reformatting, combining outputs, then it actually takes the model to generate something, right? So here's how it actually works and why I think Claude's solution is the simplest way to create files in an AI chat and one of the most slept on features. So it builds authentic files by running Python and Node.js in isolation. So that way, it is a less of a security concern. It kind of isolates that process outside of your normal chat window, right, without getting too technical.

That's kind of how this works. And then it can generate, we want over most of these types, but it can generate dot-doc, XLS, for spreadsheets, PowerPoint, P-PTX, or PDFs on-demand, and then it can also export them to Google Drive. So this bundles the conversion, analysis, and extraction into one conversational multi-step workflow.

And it reduces, like I said, the app switching. It just allows for faster drafts, fewer handoffs, measurable time savings and the thing that I like most, you're leaving less of your knowledge and insights on the table. Because let's be honest, y'all, I would say even for me, right, I'm starting to work Claude. I'm trying to work Claude more into my workflow, right? But I'm going to get my bone to pick, which many of you know what's coming.

I've been trying to work this in more, mainly because I do so much in-depth, detailed work inside large language models. and I probably only end up saving 10% of them. Yes, large language models have memory so it can reference those things. But again, I am a power user, right? A lot of times I'm doing three, four, eight different versions of something very similar. And I only end with one kind of final version. But if you just have memory enabled or if it can reference past chats, you don't know if it's going to get one of the first versions that was more iterative or a final version.

That's why this is very important. All right. You know what? I'm going to go ahead and just get my bone to pick with Anthropic right now. It took me so long to come up with these demos to do because I wanted to show something impressive that someone could see and be like, oh, wow, this is cool. This guy did this in, you know, the 15 minutes or 10 minutes, you know, in a podcast. That's helpful. So many things in a single prompt. I don't know if it's the way that this file creation process tokenized. information, I'm not sure. So the example, the first example, I uploaded a PDF presentation an older one, and I just had it update three slides or add three slides. When I tried to update an entire presentation in one, one prompt, one prompt, nothing else, right?

Upload a PDF, gave it very similar instructions as the one I read out loud here 10 minutes ago. the only difference instead of adding three slides with current information, it was just updating all slides with current information. And that did not fit in the context window, right? Literally, it couldn't complete that. I tried it four times. And at the, you know, presumably halfway or two thirds of the way through, it says, oh, you ran out of room in this context window, start a new chat.

So yes, this feature sounds amazing in theory, especially when you can start, you know, putting together multiple documents, right? Imagine some of the use cases, which I'm going to go over here in a couple of minutes, dropping many different file types and then having it do research and all of these things. But unless you're on that max plan, the utility is actually fairly limited for that very reason. The context window, again, I don't know if it's how this process is tokenized because it's actually not a ton of information, right? Maybe it's because it's going in loops and having to, you know, re-gobble up this information over and over.

But it's actually not, not super helpful unless I think you're on a higher plan. We'll see if the A16Z example works this time, which that one I would say is pretty impressive, but it is more straightforward. It's kind of one round of research and then repurposing those results in different formats, right? So something a little more iterative, a little more hands-on. and might not work even if you're on that, you know, $20 a month paid plant. All right. So let's jump in. It looks like, yeah, it looks like we got a couple that are done.

Let's take, let's take a look. All right. And here's where I will try to describe to our live stream audience what I'm seeing on screen. So I'm not actually going to download these files because Claude has the artifacts feature where it's going to preview them. So essentially what you're seeing on my screen is more or less what it's ultimately going to look like. So one thing I'll tell you, it actually does an okay job at creating PowerPoints, right? So I uploaded a PDF and it did a pretty decent job of trying to recreate it. It obviously didn't have, you know, the screenshots or, you know, as an example, I have my kind of my buckshot there on the front.

so it didn't have access to some of those things. But aside from that, it did a pretty decent job at rebuilding the old version of the slide deck. And I can, again, this is a PowerPoint file that I can download or there is this button. So in the upper right hand corner, there's a download button or there's an open in drive. All right. So I can also slide and toggle to give this kind of more room. So my chat kind of is on the left and the artifact, which is rendering this PowerPoint is on the right.

So I'm going to scroll through. I'm actually going to scroll down and see where it added some new files. Okay, so it looks like it added slide 9, 10, and 11. So this is a 19 page presentation. And it looks like it added slides 9, 10, and 11. So let's just do a quick check. Here we go. So it says summer 2025, some,

new information here, Salesforce agent force, Microsoft going all in with co-pilot studio, Mark Benioff admitting something at Dreamforce conference, all right, the great AI agent failure wave of 2025. All right. So, okay, did a pretty good job at adding relevant, factual, right? I'm looking at these bullet points. These bullet points are factual, right? Talking here on page 11, one of the new pages about AI coding agents.

Codex copilot in cursor, right? So I don't think Codex as an example was announced yet the first time I did this episode. So this did a pretty good job, right? So I can pretty easily, you know, download this, make any updates that I want to, save it to Google Drive right away. So pretty helpful. So let's go to, that's not the right one. let's go to our next one.

Here we go. Okay. So pretty good job here and it is done. So we have the three different things that we asked for. We asked for a downloadable spreadsheet that gave the top 20 out of 50 as well as the CEO, the company name, company location, number of employees, CEO's name, money raised so far, last reported revenue, and unique product. or features. All right. So I'm showing here on my screen a spreadsheet here. Let me scroll down.

Yep. It looks like it gave me the top 20 like I asked. I'm looking at the list. This is correct. I know one through 20 from that list because I've looked at it quite a few times. It got the HQ CEO, employees, funding, valuation. So yeah, I'm looking at the valuation. Some look fairly accurate. Like as an example, I think it in here has Open AI's valuation at 300 billion. They did have a recent, and this is only about three weeks old. There was a recent story that came out that put their valuation at 500 billion. So still, you still need to go through and double check this. If you know these things in your head floating around like me, a little easier to check. But I'm looking at everything else in the spreadsheet. Everything else looks fairly accurate.

I'd say probably went through with maybe 90, 95% accuracy, right? Which, again, if you hand this off to a junior researcher, it's going to take them a couple of hours, right? Pre-A.I, it's going to take them a couple of hours and you might hope for, you know, 95% accuracy anyways, right? That's why everyone is always like, oh, you know, AI doesn't get everything right. Show me, show me the human that hasn't made mistakes yet. All right. So the second thing I asked for, let's scroll down to it. And a lot of work here, right?

Geez, I'm scrolling through kind of the summarized chain of thought here for cloud. And I did use Opus 4.1 for this second prompt. A ton, right? A ton of research that it did. I'm trying to look. It looks like it went to at least maybe 50, yeah, about 50, 60, 70, 70, webpages right there. A lot of steps, a lot of running this Python code as well to get these final files. Let's just quickly look at the last two files. So here is our document, our PDF document.

All right. So we have a nice little cover page here. Nothing, nothing special. I didn't ask for anything overly visual in the PDF document. I just asked for them to be categorized. So there we go. have the general AI assistance in chat bots, those from the top 20. Number two, the second category is creative content generation. So you have your mid journeys, Leonardo, Kling, in there, 11 labs, et cetera. Then you have your developer and coding tools like Google's AI studio, cursor, lovable. Then you have your research and productivity tools. Last but not least, entertainment and social AI. So it did a really good job. I would have to go through and look at all the fine points,

but it looks like it's getting some up-to-date and accurate information, right? So for Chad-G-G-T, it says Chad-GPT remains the undisputed champion of consumer AI with 800 million weekly active users. That's correct, and it's very up-to-date, right? I think OpenAI announced that 800 million weekly active users at their dev date two weeks ago. So it's getting and grabbing very up-to-day and accurate information. So it looks like test number two. did a really good job. All right. And then number three, the output gave it a little bit of leeway.

Just said create a PowerPoint. Make it look good. You can choose how to present everything. So let's give it. It's loading here in my browser. All right. Our cover page, we have a nice bright blue color here. The second page, nicely formatted with some kind of breakout boxes, highlighting some certain key facts and figures. So pretty good. job, you know, pulling some nice visuals. It's nothing that, you know, I'm blown away by visually, but it's much better as an example than something that chat Chb-T's agent mode would put together. So like I said, Chad Chbite's agent mode can put together spreadsheets and PowerPoints. The powerpoints are extremely terrible. This PowerPoint is decent, right? Again, maybe if you hire a

college kid or, you know, if there's a junior researcher on your team, That's not a, you know, not a design kind of first person. This is about what you would expect. All right. So we have a nice bar chart here. Then we have AI categories, who's leading where. Nice, those six boxes with different kind of top bar lines. So from a visual standpoint, you know, we got a nice pie chart here.

Did a pretty good job, right? At least from a visual. getting the information out there, gave me a quick reference chart here at the very end. So again, at least this is a passable PowerPoint, right? Where a lot of times if you're using, you know, chat GPD's agent mode, not always very good.

Or, if I'm being honest, the older version of Microsoft's even PowerPoint with copilot, unless you're working off of a template, even creating it from, scratch, I think this is maybe even better or at least on par with how Microsoft does it within PowerPoint using copilot. I think it's gotten a little bit better over the last few months, but when I gave it a more in-depth look earlier in 2025, this looks up to par or maybe even a little bit better. All right. So there you have it. But let's just quickly wrap this up. It's

not without its flaws, right? There's still security risks like prompt injections that can allow malicious file instructions to access sensitive data. There's also been reports of frequent downtimes and inconsistent outputs. And there still is some problems with complex formatting. And it often fails at requiring extensive manual corrections or recreating documents. But like I said, I think usually what you get from the file creation out of Claude, I think it's always, always, always better than anything you would get from an agent mode out of chat chvety. But for the most part, the formatting, I'd say, is clean 95% of the time. Those hiccups from a design perspective aren't too frequent.

All right. Let's leave you with this. I'm going to give you a couple example of time saving use cases. So one is just file conversion, right? So as an example, uploading a 10-page market research report and converting it to a five slide PowerPoint deck, right? Probably some, a lot of us do. Extracting key points from a lengthy word document into presentation slides automatically or transforming unstructured PDF data, right? I used to do this all the time back in the day, go through all these, you know, RFPs, 10Ks from big companies and, you know, long PDFs and having to grab all this unstructured data and then putting it into.

to an Excel sheet with a single prompt. Another use case, data analysis that can then create something visual. So in this instance, Claude can ingest raw CSV sales data to detect trends in compute metrics. Now, you can have a marketing manager as an example, generate bar charts, even if they don't even really know or understand what most of the data is, right? So uploading a CSV and then exporting or creating a PowerPoint with a bunch of bar charts that you need. Another example. Actually, you know what?

The rest of the examples, we're just going to give them. I don't want to take up too much time. But if you do want more examples, I have 10 actual, very specific use cases with example prompts as well on, I think, some of the best time saving examples. And a lot of these are stacking multiple elements, kind of like what I showed you, more like multi-step agentic flows, which I think, Y'all, like, I went on a little rant about this last week. Like, there's all, all these like demos, right? Everyone's just doing one little piece, right? They're going in and, oh, here, I'm taking a, you know, my, my bullet points and I'm making

a PowerPoint. It's like, that's not how people work, right? The way people work is you're doing multiple rounds of research. You have multiple documents, CSVs, all of this, multiple iterations to create a PowerPoint. So in our example use cases, many of them are iterative. They are multi-step because I think that's how people work. And when you talk about time savings and creating files, this is how most of us are doing it. So if you want access to that, just make sure you find this very LinkedIn live stream URL.

So if you're listening live, you know what to do. Just click that repost button on LinkedIn. If you are listening on Spotify, check out. the show notes, we always leave a link to today's live stream on LinkedIn. Go repose this and I will share it your way. So I hope this was helpful putting AI to work on Wednesdays. So now you know don't have to waste sometimes hours a week. Number one, you don't have to anymore. You can use this new setting in Claw. But number two, so much of your best outputs all of these insights that you probably spend a lot of time on.

They don't have to die there in some random chat, right? That's another time saving element. I spent so much time going into old chats from weeks ago, right, months ago and being like, ah, what was that? Mainly because I probably was either too lazy, too busy, or I didn't want to copy and paste and do all this formatting and save it, right? So now, at least inside Claude, it's a nice way to pull and extract. And even if you use Google Drive to sync that.
