Anthropic just gave its Claude chatbot users something most AI companies have avoided: a clear window into how they actually use the product. The company launched a beta feature called “reflect” on July 9, allowing users to see detailed analytics of their interactions with Claude across periods of one, three, six, or twelve months.
What the reflect feature actually does
The dashboard surfaces a summary of key topics users have discussed with Claude, the types of tasks they’ve delegated, and their usage patterns, including peak usage times. Anthropic describes the tool as a way to “see your patterns and shape them.”
The feature is available to users on Free, Pro, and Max plans who have enabled memory settings. It works on both web and desktop applications. Incognito chat sessions are excluded from analysis, along with certain sensitive data integrations, a deliberate privacy choice that Anthropic developed in collaboration with researchers from MIT Media Lab, Boston Children’s Hospital, and the Family Online Safety Institute.
One important detail: the user-specific insights generated by reflect will not be used for model training. Your data stays yours, at least according to Anthropic’s stated policy.
