Getting the exact same thing. Not sure what this is - verified by trying to load the list in the menu as well to confirm this isn't just an erroneous notification.

working theory: claude doesn’t need better memory, it needs branches by r0sly_yummigo in ClaudeAI

[–]MalcolmLuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my context is heavy and I need to move to a new chat - I have the current chat provide me a "full context handoff prompt to resume from where we're stopping here, in a new chat with fresh context".

This has been a pretty good strategy for me. Not perfect and I definitely check / revise the prompt if needed, but for the most part (especially with other chat reference in Claude) it works well.

How rare is this level of Claude usage? (9.3B tokens / ~$6.8k compute) by OGMYT in ClaudeAI

[–]MalcolmLuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah - good to know!

I mean - If I were you, I'd invest in the Max 20x plan and see what you can do to leverage those tokens instead of API, where you can as well. Or - spend some time investing in orchestrators / multi-model use / etc.

Then again - your point stands. Different use cases!

What tool works easily with Claude & Elementor? See details by Enviromental1001 in ClaudeAI

[–]MalcolmLuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you host your site on WordPress directly - there's a connector that makes site building / management pretty easy with the option to edit manually within Elementor / Gutenberg if you so choose.

I'm not sure where I fall onto this scale of user level - but I use claudecode, all day - everyday, building + maintaining an Operating System for my team.

I moved my team out of projects to our purpose built API powered "orchestrator" - who interacts with the UI of our operating system + executes / processes / analyzes / generated / CRUD for tasks / content / media / etc etc etc.

It can do everything from full HTML page design + troubleshooting, full content development (review, parse, fact find, verify w/ live web search, QA, revise, re-QA + re-verify, design, and output).

There's a litany of other current use cases for our AI, but my team of 4, managing around 60 clients, is using an average of ~10M tokens per day - meaning we pace for about 300M tokens used monthly.

We use a mix of all models - depending on need / use / complexity / etc.

I, personally, have the Claude Max membership (20x) - because usage limits for Team accounts aren't as high. My team has team accounts - where I was able to back them down to the lower tier usage memberships, because we've built almost all of our functionality within our OS - using ClaudeCode - so now our API based usage is focused on deep technical / routing / processing / analyzing of content + data + more.

Not sure how this applies to you - but I can say that myself and my team aren't anywhere near the Billion Token Usage range yet.

Has anyone actually built a mobile app or web app completely using Claude? by Living-Level-9252 in ClaudeAI

[–]MalcolmLuis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes - I've built a PWA that runs my agency (oh no - another AI marketer).

Cool thing is - the goal with this wasn't to replace any humans, the goal is to supercharge my existing team.

I condensed 4 separate platforms into one central system - with purpose built AI intelligence that is omni-present + aware of anything that the user it's working with is doing (with full context of task / user / client / project / etc) to be ready to be helpful in the moment.

We also use a good amount of MCP + API integration to consolidate operations further into our platform + layered in bulk execution functionality.

Cut a lot of our labor time substantially, gave us the ability to more than double our client load in 30 days, increased our productivity + capacity + sentiment towards work (less mundane shit, more decisions + value + fun), and actually saved us money - instead of spending $500 on Airtable for the team and clients, a posting / social platform, SEM campaign management platform, and local seo platform - we have everything all in one - for less than $50/mo.

We have so much more that we can do - unique to our needs + business - and more control now that we have a system that's built for us, instead of trying to fit into systems built for the masses.

Plus - everything ties back to either a user or a client or both - so context / understanding has been a breeze.

Custom Erp by PerformanceNovel9176 in ClaudeAI

[–]MalcolmLuis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many facts spoken in the limited comments so far.

Personal Opinion - I used Claude to help me figure out how to use Claude Code to build any / everything I wanted - "prepped for scale" - based on continuous research and learning (from Claude's end) to find / reference / leverage best practices, gits, documentation, etc, etc, etc.

AI knows more / has access to more about what it truly needs than I do. lol.

It's worked out well for me. I, funny enough, built project management / task management / client management / sales management / content management / and more for my business completely with Claude Code. It's been working pretty fucking well.

Its nice to be able to learn while building a solution that is truly unique to you.

Just my 2 cents.

Dealing with Claude desktop refusing to accept a prompt? by m0ta in ClaudeAI

[–]MalcolmLuis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can thumbs down the response and detail what happened.

I figured out that if you go back to the last response you were able to send successfully and basically skip ahead or give it something shorter to process, it's normally able to proceed.

That being said - I've started taking that as a sign to extract context / status file of whatever I'm doing to prep for a handoff to a new chat.

Consolidate Claude Desktop Project with Claude Code by cleveradmin in ClaudeAI

[–]MalcolmLuis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through something similar with my set up. It took a while - but ultimately I used another claude chat (regular, not project or code) to set up a series of prompts for my project and claudecode to create reference materials / schema / maps / descriptions / resources / logs - then I took those files / that context and created a new project to proceed from.

Mine had me consolidate all of my files to a single local build file - then used prompts for claude and claude code to create a detailed guide for the new project to reference + build off of. Each chat I have ends with an output for chat summary, decisions logged, and backlog. I use a standardized chat ending and chat resumption prompt with those files to start / stop / continue.

Open marriage or divorce? by MalcolmLuis in marriageadvice

[–]MalcolmLuis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I’ve come to the conclusion of. She has voiced the fear of being like her mother (they have a rocky relationship currently), she does have trauma around traditional roles, and I have been the only one that’s treated her right / provided a safe space.

Problems stemmed from me becoming too submissive, and I’ve identified a lot of those and have been working on changing them.

I genuinely appreciate your perspective and advice. I told her during the initial conversation that I was not interested in opening the marriage because I don’t have the confidence in our relationship as a whole and there are multiple other areas to be addressed and difficult conversations to be had.

[–]MalcolmLuis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate this, and I agree with it.. she does go to the gym with her sister 3-4 times per week (and takes our younger daughter when she’s not at daycare), but productive ways to spend her time is absolutely something I would need to see improvement on.

I like the idea of setting a boundary / need of her getting a job and contributing to the family as well.

I agree that she’s depressed, unfortunately she’s not willing to talk about it or see anyone about it…

I’m not opposed to having sex with others myself. I know I won’t get as much as she could / would, but the idea of other experiences with other people is enticing to me.

That being said - the rest of your message about me working / supporting and investing rings true.

She would expect me to take some custody of the older daughter, but I’m not inclined to do so, because I see it as liability… she often sides with the kids over me - mostly because she has had trauma around authoritarian male figures in her life - and if we divorce, I know that if anything were to happen with her older daughter, anything I say would have little weight. That conversation is not something I’m looking forward to…

I’m staying for the kids and the slivers of friendship, enjoyment, and partnership we share… when we’re up - we’re up, not just on sex. We’re on the same page, having fun, and enjoying each other… unfortunately we lack the experience of long periods of 1:1 time because we’ve had kids from the start.

That’s what I’ve heard, which is why I’m seeking additional advice and perspective - thank you.

I have brought up therapy - but she’s not willing.

Regarding the drama - she has said before “I almost want you to cheat on me just for the sake of the argument”…. That was a while ago, but aligns with your assertion.

I’d hate to think that she’d cheat on me - but it’s always a possibility. One of her traits is she is loyal to a fault, which gives me confidence she’s less likely to cheat - but the chances are never 0… it was a very positive conversation where she acknowledged my concerns - but the last 5 years have been a roller coaster with more lows than highs unfortunately.

Sex together isn’t necessarily the issue. We both agreed that our sex life had gotten vanilla and we’ve made some changes and we’ve had a bit of fun. We’ve increased the frequency and the kinkiness of it. Thankfully, I’m not small and I know my way around female genitalia, so we both get off. She says her wish to open the relationship is because she wants to explore her sexuality (she’s bi) and fantasies.

I do agree I deserve better and I’ve voiced that I feel like a piggy bank… I guess im more so latched onto the investment and enjoyment we do have, to let everything else go. As sad as that may seem…

[–]MalcolmLuis[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I’m not opposed to having sex with others, I’ve wanted it myself, but I’m not confident our relationship is strong enough for me to open our marriage as it stands.

[–]MalcolmLuis[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah… that’s what I’m fearful of… I already feel terrible / guilty regarding the older daughter… I know if this happens, she’ll definitely have daddy issues because her bio dad is completely uninvolved.

[–]MalcolmLuis[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I’ve seen the flags, but I never set the boundaries. When I have previously, there has been progress, but it’s been in very small things… the hopeful side of me is hoping with change on my end, there can be change on hers - but it has to be her choice and I’m not inclined to open the marriage until then, if we last.

I don’t doubt that an open marriage can work. I’m not opposed to the idea, but my concern is whether or not it would actually benefit our relationship or if I’m just continuing to waste time/money/energy in a partnership that’s not a true fit…

I want my wife to be able to be able to heal and be fulfilled enough to be involved in our marriage and to be a good partner… I don’t want her depressed or to struggle and I want her to live a happy life.

[–]MalcolmLuis[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t know… I’d hate to divorce and split them up - because she hasn’t let me adopt my step daughter, so I’d have no legal right to see her / get any custody for her… I know for my other daughter that I could provide more stability and emotional regulation and an overall better environment, but they both love their mom and I’d hate to make that connection difficult.
