Anthropic Introduces Claude Projects

With how good Claude 3.5 is for coding, I would love if this supported private github repos - just connect my github account and provide a repo link which stays up to date as changes are made instead of having to upload content to a project.

I feel like this will probably be an option down the line - I wonder if it would be possible to replicate this functionality via the API as well, kind of like how there are open source projects attempting to replicate artifacts via the API.

Same request as for the introduction of GPTs. Make sure you understand which part of your data you are giving the rights away.

"Our use of Materials. We may use Materials to provide, maintain, and improve the Services and to develop other products and services. We will not train our models on any Materials that are not publicly available, except in two circumstances:

If you provide Feedback to us (through the Services or otherwise) regarding any Materials, we may use that Feedback in accordance with Section 5 (Feedback)."

I love the idea but I think they really need integrations to make this useful. They need connectors to cloud storage and other SaaS apps. No one wants to manually monitor a Box/Google Drive/One Drive folder for new or updated documents and manually upload them into a Claude project.

The obvious comparison here is ChatGPT's GPTs. Claude Projects appear to work by dumping the entire "knowledge base" into the context in one go, hence the 200,000 token limit, which makes it very easy to reason about.

GPTs have a form of RAG built in - you can upload up to 20 documents each of 2 million tokens and those get chunked and vectorized and used to help answer questions - but there's still no internal documentation on how that chunking process works, which makes it hard for me to trust them as I can't make informed decisions about how best to use the knowledge feature.

Here'a feature request in case people from Anthropic are listening:

I'd like to dump our product knowledge base (emails, tickets, support articles, etc..) into a Project and then create an embeddable chat-bot from it that can handle customer support right from our website.

Most support requests we get are similar or equal to previous requests. It could help our support staff save a lot of time to focus on the requests that actually matter.

Unfortunately project files don't seem to have folders or a way organize the hierarchy so I had Claude write a little script to dump all source files into a single markdown file with paths: https://pastebin.com/P6Cc1cmL

It uses fd which respects .gitignore by default. A 10k LoC C++/Rust/QML/JS project came in at about 50% of the context.

With this release they also added chat history search!

Anyone else notice that for cancelled team subscriptions the renew subscription link just jumps them to the help center? It's very weird. Tried with both Chrome and Edge on Windows 11.

Fwiw I've found Sonnet still too censored. Give it a poem to translate or analyzes and it refuse to reproduce it (even in translated form) due to copyright reasons.

It would be great if I could give it the url of some relevant documentation that it could use when generating code

Dang it looks so awesome, too bad it’s not useful for ML or AI!

Is that the only way to get Custom Instructions for Claude?

They really need to introduce a way to delete all previous chats... Other than that, I'm an absolute fanboy....
