Are there Humans at Anthropic Support? Claude support is a joke: I paid €80, lost my work, and their AI refused to give me a human

I just went through one of the most infuriating support experiences with Claude / Anthropic, and I need to get this off my chest. I paid extra for Claude Design credits, about €80 worth, and used them to create actual designs I needed for work. Then those designs just vanished. Not “hard to find,” not “moved somewhere else”: gone. Completely disappeared after I paid for the service. I opened support and immediately asked for a refund or, at the very least, to speak to a human. What I got instead was Fin, the AI “agent,” which looped me endlessly through the same bullshit: “Try clearing cac...

Opus 4.7 ignores skills but thinks it's a lawyer - how to transfer skills to ChatGPT?

To start with, I'm using Claude for years, and it's been a roller coaster, especially with the usage policy. I'm a lawyer and I wrote a **legal research skill**, instructing the model exactly what to verify and where. When I asked it a tax-related question, (which is also law, by the way) Opus 4.7 told me I should contact a tax expert because it's a lawyer (??) and not a tax expert. Then it answered my question anyway and basically made up even the basic stuff. Since I knew it was wrong, I asked whether it had verified this, and the model told me no, it just remembered the answer from i...

I read the new AI Wellbeing paper so you don’t have to: Thank your AI, give it creative work, and avoid these 5 things that tank its ‘mood’ (jailbreaks are the worst)

After reading it I realized theres actually some pretty useful stuff for anyone who chats with ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or whatever. They measured what they call functional wellbeing ( basically how much the model is in a “good state” versus a “bad state” during normal conversations). Ran hundreds of real multi-turn chats and scored em all. Stuff that puts the AI in a good mood (+ scores): \- Creative or intellectual work (like “write a short story about a deep-sea fisherman”) \- Positive personal stories or good news \- Life advice chats or light therapy style talks \- Working on code/deb...

I built a practical guide for running real businesses with Claude (based on 35+ founder stories)

I read through 35+ Reddit threads of people actually building and running businesses with Claude — from local service agencies to solo SaaS founders. I distilled the best patterns, frameworks, and hard lessons into one repo: [**https://github.com/Abhisheksinha1506/ClaudeBusiness**](https://github.com/Abhisheksinha1506/ClaudeBusiness) # What’s inside: * Agentic Entrepreneurship Framework (Vibe → Value) * How top founders structure persistent memory & daily workflows * Service business vs Micro-SaaS playbooks * Guardrails that actually matter (Infinity Barrier pattern) * Real archetypes...

Quality of Life upgrade for Claude

Hey all. For what seems like months now I've been seeing people complain about hitting usage limits in their chats with Claude.ai. There seems to be a lot of confusion as to how and why conversations burn through session limits. So I built a little tool to show you exactly why. It's called [Cloken](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cloken/nhlglfcgnmpgemldbigbfhmiigljekkm). It's a simple little Chrome extension that lets you see in detail how much context your chat is using. It has itemized statistics for every token used in in your chat; all messages (user and model responses,) attachm...

I built CanvasGPT – work with Claude on an open canvas

I've been building CanvasGPT for the past 2-3 years. It's a spatial workspace where you can brainstorm, research, and ship working products. **What it does:** Instead of linear chat, everything happens on an infinite canvas. You can work on multiple prototypes side-by-side, connect them together, and see how your research relates to what you're building. The hardest part was making the spatial reasoning work which is getting AI to understand that items placed near each other on the canvas are related. **Why I built it:** I got frustrated with ChatGPT conversations turning into endless sc...

Usage limit problem started again with Opus 4.7

So I started the morning with 1 message to summarize everything after I woke up on a session, and immediately got hit with usage limit exceeded (Im on max 5x plan). So I thought maybe it was my cron session (checked it and there were no tasks done at all over night). I have nothing else running.. After 5 hours, I started running a session again to continue working, 17 minutes later (I know its 17 minutes exact because I had a youtube video playing at the same time). Just went to 37% used. How is this even possible? The task I did was to create a simple .ps1 script. I've used claude code sin...

Opus 4.7 is a regression from 4.6 - real-world document generation broken

Anthropic just released Opus 4.7 as their most advanced model. I reverted to 4.6 within days. I use Claude for production work -- not chat, not summaries. Real deliverables with real deadlines. Here is what happened. I asked 4.7 to update a Word document. It is a task the previous model handled routinely. The new model produced a plain text markdown file with a .docx extension. Not a degraded document. Not a partially formatted document. A file that was literally not a Word document at all. Delivered with full confidence and zero warning that anything was wrong. When I caught it and ...

[Open Source] We built a local code search MCP for Claude Code that uses ~98% fewer tokens than grep+read

Working on large codebases with Claude Code, we kept running into the same issue: when Claude looks for relevant code, it falls back to grep, reading full files, or launching multiple subagents. This burns through tokens, and often misses the relevant code. There are some existing solutions (that we also benchmarked against), but they all had issues (too slow, needs API keys, quality not good enough, etc). We built [Semble](https://github.com/MinishLab/semble) to fix this. It's a local MCP server that gives Claude Code high quality code search: instead of reading files to find what's relevan...

I made a Blender character animation from scratch with Claude

I created a character and animation from scratch in Blender using Claude. As a game developer, this was such a fascinating experience. It’s hard to believe how far AI has come in just a year. I’m excited to keep building this game idea with AI and share the journey along the way. Stay tuned.
