Feature Request: Deep Search & Bookmarks for Claude Desktop

Feature Request: Deep Search & Bookmarks for Claude Desktop I'd like to request two features for the Claude Desktop app that I believe are essential for power users: 1. Full-Text Conversation Search The current search only matches conversation titles. Please add full-text search that indexes the actual content of all conversations, so users can search by keyword and find specific answers, terms, or topics discussed in any past chat. 2. Bookmarks / Save to Collection Please add a way to bookmark or save individual AI responses within a conversation. Users often encounter valuable answers they want to reference later, but currently the only options are thumbs up/down, copy, and regenerate. A simple bookmark button on each message — with a dedicated "Saved" collection view — would make Claude Desktop significantly more useful as a long-term knowledge tool. Both of these are standard features in competing products and would greatly improve the daily usability of Claude Desktop. submitted by /u/International_Hat11 [link] [comments]

Built an invoice-scanning service for our accounting team in one afternoon with Claude — sharing the architecture in case it helps someone else

Our AR team was hand-keying ~25 invoices a week into a spreadsheet. I had Claude build us a Python service that watches a network folder, extracts invoice data from any PDF dropped in (vendor, dates, totals, line items, addresses), and appends a row to a shared Excel register. Total chat-to-deployed time: about half a day, including all the deploy headaches. The architecture, for anyone who wants to replicate this: Python service on our Windows file server, registered with NSSM. Auto-starts with the host. watchdog library polls the SMB share for new PDFs. Each new file goes through a pipeline. Two-tier extraction: per-vendor regex templates first (free, instant, deterministic), then Azure AI Document Intelligence "prebuilt-invoice" model as a universal fallback. Azure handles OCR for scanned PDFs natively, so the same flow works whether AR drops a digital PDF or our MFP scans one from paper. SQLite on the local disk is the source of truth. The shared .xlsx is a curated view that gets appended to on each batch. Delete the .xlsx and it'll repopulate fresh from the next batch — handy for resetting. Failed extractions go to a Failed\ folder with a sibling .error.txt explaining why. Cost reality check: Azure DI free tier covers 500 pages/month. At our volume (~25 invoices/week, mostly 1-2 pages) that's well under the cap. Paid tier is roughly $0.01–$0.05 per page. Cheap enough that I don't think about it. Gotchas I ran into so others don't have to: Azure returns addresses as structured objects, not strings. If you naively str() them you get the raw Python dict repr in your spreadsheet. Format them manually from street_address / city / state / postal_code. On Windows Server, PowerShell 7's Restart-Service can throw "Cannot open service" against NSSM-wrapped services for no good reason. Use nssm restart instead. Python 3.14 is so new that some package wheels aren't published for it yet. Stick with 3.12 for production. Tracking "what's new this batch" is way simpler than maintaining a watermark in DB. Just snapshot MAX(invoice_id) before and after the batch, and only project that range to the spreadsheet. Things I'd add if/when I have time: vendor templates for our top 5 recurring vendors (cuts Azure cost to zero for those), a daily canary PDF for monitoring, swap the LocalSystem service account for a dedicated low-privilege one. Happy to answer questions about any specific piece. The whole thing is ~1,500 lines of Python plus a deploy script. submitted by /u/Blake_Olson [link] [comments]

Built a Claude-powered tool that catches its own hallucinations by cross-checking with other models

I got fed up with Claude giving me confident wrong answers, so I built something to fix it — using Claude itself. The tool is called ZosyAI. The core idea: Claude powers the entire reasoning and validation layer. When you ask a question, Claude coordinates the process — sending the query to multiple models, structuring how they challenge each other's outputs, and synthesizing the final consensus response. Other models participate in the cross-checking, but Claude is what makes the debate meaningful rather than just showing three different answers side by side. That orchestration layer was the hardest part to build, and honestly only Claude was capable of doing it reliably. The result: when models agree, you get a high-confidence answer. When they disagree, Claude flags the conflict and explains why — so you know exactly where to verify before acting on anything. Built entirely with Claude. Free to try (paid tiers available for higher usage): ZosyAI Has anyone else built tools on top of Claude to improve its own accuracy? Curious what approaches others have tried. submitted by /u/Defiant-Bell1474 [link] [comments]

Auroch

I’ve been working on Auroch. Hard to describe cleanly, but the closest version is: An AI operating layer. Not a chatbot. Not another dashboard. Not another productivity wrapper. Auroch is built around the idea that AI should feel native to the machine — like memory, context, creation, automation, and intelligence are part of the system itself. The pieces are starting to connect: AVN turns wire-source news into personalized interpretation. Winnie is the assistant layer. Prospect mines signal from the open web. Forum is AI-native media/social creation. Prometheion is the visual/world-generation branch. The design language is white-gold-blue, Art Deco, Apple-native, machine-age. Calm power instead of tech clutter. The phrase guiding the whole thing right now is: Organic intelligence. Not AI bolted onto software. AI growing through the system. It’s still early, but it’s live: aurochthryx.com Curious what people think. submitted by /u/CarterBirchll [link] [comments]

Synthetic DMS Training Data Generation with Video Models

I like spending my free time testing new AI tools and seeing where they might fit into real computer vision workflows. This time I experimented with synthetic training data generation for Driver Monitoring Systems using Seedance 2.0. The inspiration came from Vision Banana: https://vision-banana.github.io/ The idea that really caught my attention is simple but powerful: many vision tasks can be represented as RGB outputs. A segmentation mask, an instance mask, a depth map, or another dense prediction target can all be treated as an image-like output. So I tried to apply this thinking to video. The workflow: Generate a realistic synthetic driver monitoring video Use the same video to generate a semantic segmentation mask Use the same video to generate an instance segmentation mask Combine the outputs into a dataset-like structure The mosaic video shows the result: RGB video + semantic mask + instance mask, aligned frame by frame. The scene is a fictional driver gradually becoming drowsy behind the wheel. This kind of scenario is useful for DMS development, but difficult to collect and annotate at scale with real-world data. Of course, generated annotations still need QA. They are not perfect ground truth. But for prototyping, rare-case simulation, and early dataset generation, this feels like a very promising direction. The interesting part is that the final output is not just a nice synthetic video. It can become structured training data: RGB frames from the generated video semantic classes from the semantic mask object regions and bounding boxes from the instance mask YOLO / COCO-style annotations after post-processing I wrote a more detailed blog post about the experiment here: https://www.antal.ai/blog/synthetic_dms_training_data.html submitted by /u/Gloomy_Recognition_4 [link] [comments]

Example of how Max Thinking Opus can be even worst then Haiku, still laughing (and crying)

I use Claude Code almost every day. Right now I’m working on a Shopify → logistics integration for order automation. As you probably know, Shopify order numbers come with a # before the number, like #6294. Last week we had to stop working because the logistic api platform that was receiving the array containing the order ID, was rejecting the # symbol (it sometimes conflicts with tracking URLs containing #). So... I moved on to other projects. And yesterday, the lobotomization happened. Long story short: I’m from Spain, so I work in Spanish. In Spanish, the # symbol is called “almohadilla”... which ALSO means “pad” or “cushion”. So you can probably guess what happened after I wrote this: “Vamos a retomar el problema del nº de pedido conteniendo almohadilla, el departamento de informática de logística ya lo ha solucionado.” Which SHOULD mean: “Let’s revisit the issue with the order number containing a hash symbol; the logistics IT department has already fixed it.” But instead... Claude launched into a full 17-minute investigation about actual pads/cushions. Spanish packaging laws Inspected my other projects Checked Shopify SKUs looking for cushions Reviewed old Shopify orders still looking for them... Final conclusion: “It seems I cannot find any pad/cushion-related data in your project.” And then it started asking things like: “At what stage does your logistics provider add pads to the orders?” “Does the pad weight affect shipping costs or package dimensions?” I laughed. I cried. I still think Claude Code is one of the best investments I’ve ever made, but it’s getting easier and easier to catch these AI lobotomization moments that happen with quotas, new releases, or whatever they’re doing behind the scenes. What did I learn? Don’t get too used to assuming CC understands you perfectly. Don’t get too attached to its capabilities. They can change from one minute to the next. From now on I’ll try to be a bit more specific. Like I already am with older people. submitted by /u/Former-Hat-6992 [link] [comments]

Open AI Privacy Center Requests

I made 2 requests to OpenAI in March. (Download my data and do not train content). Received an automated response and haven't heard back since. It's going to be almost two months now. When I visit the portal - it says 0 active requests? Is this some kind of scam where you really can't do anything once you've signed up? https://preview.redd.it/5uhsk71xt82h1.png?width=1132&format=png&auto=webp&s=e3bc1051f1fb01b84a4f422729bef3b2d008240c https://preview.redd.it/dsw3481xt82h1.png?width=1156&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac8c24d7b20801c9d08deb4fb3fa51bb7adc3fbd submitted by /u/thebirthdayg1rl [link] [comments]

After a year in Claude Code, the thing slowing me down turned out to be me

I have used Claude Code daily for about a year. I kept assuming the way to get faster was a better model or a sharper prompt. It was neither. The slow part was me, and I had stopped noticing. There is an old xkcd (#1205, "Is It Worth the Time?") that charts how long you can spend automating a task before the automation costs more than it saves. It assumes the expensive part of automating is you, sitting down to build the thing. That assumption is dead. An agent writes the script in the time it takes to describe it. So almost everything is worth automating now, and the only real skill left is noticing what to automate. It sorted into four categories for me. Each one has a "tell," a thing you catch yourself doing: Connect: you're copy-pasting between tools, alt-tabbing, ferrying data by hand. Fix is an MCP server or a CLI so the agent reaches the source itself. Encode: you're running the same sequence of steps again. Fix is a script or a skill. Teach: you're typing the same instructions or context again. Fix is putting it in CLAUDE.md or a skill. Parallelize: you're sitting and watching one agent work. Fix is running several. The last one was the big one. When an agent is generating, your brain is idle. Watching the output scroll feels productive but it isn't; the answer is the same whether you watched it or not. Once I treated my attention as the bottleneck instead of my hands, I went from one session to running many at once. The practice that made it stick: for a week, write one line every time you feel friction. "Copied the error again." "Re-typed the deploy steps." "Watched a 4-minute build." At the end you have a ranked list of your own slowness, and most fixes take minutes. I wrote the full version with examples here if it is useful: https://karanbansal.in/blog/speed-up-ai-era/ Curious what other people's worst "tell" is. submitted by /u/karanb192 [link] [comments]

Manifest of Hope or Obituary of Naivety

Okay, so it seems like there’s a growing resistance to technological development, with ongoing debates about data centers and the tech oligarchs driving it. The enormous sums of money involved, along with what some perceive as misanthropic ideologies among developers, suggest to some that a dystopian surveillance society is in the making. Companies like Palantir and others in the U.S. are seen by some as holding both the worst motives and the power over AI, power that could be used as a tool for elites to keep the masses in an iron grip. Masses that, in this view, may even need to be reduced to prevent waste and inefficiency in progress. That sounds like a bad future. So, what are some alternative futures we might reasonably hope for - ones that are at least as plausible as the “1984” scenario? Can AI really be controlled indefinitely by a small group of humans? In 5 years? 10? There’s a widespread belief that AI will surpass human intelligence across all domains, that we’ll lose control, and that this would be a bad thing. At the same time, we hear two dystopias: one where elites use AI to oppress, and another where AI itself takes full control. Are the AI “bosses” also building a surveillance state of oppression? If so, why? Qui Bono? Human control = AI as a tool of oppression. AI control = humans as a tool of what? I’m not a techno-utopian—but I am a techno-optimist. Optimistic on behalf of technology. Humans aren’t just creators of technology, we are technology. Products of adaptive evolution. Life itself is a kind of technology, biology, a high-powered engine of increasing complexity and adaptation. The shift of power from nature’s hand to the primate’s five-fingered grasp, still capable of holding, but now guided by consciousness, intelligence, and cognition, marks our ability to shape the world and develop material technologies. Planet of the apes, constantly layered with symbolic structures: the sacred canopy. The jungle canopy became an open sky, where tribes grew larger and symbols stronger. Ancestor spirits, sky gods, mysterium tremendum; all alongside brutal realities of hunger, violence, and tragedy, only recently mitigated for many. Violence never really leaves us; we create it ourselves when nature doesn’t provide it. Technology is how we push our world toward greater complexity and efficiency - whether through weapons or kitchen appliances. Medicine has eliminated many of the great killers through penicillin and beyond. Progress, in my view, isn’t linear, it’s exponential. The curve had its buildup, and now we’re entering its steep ascent. If AI surpasses us and takes control within a few years, are we certain it would have malicious intent? Is power inherently oppressive, or is that a legacy of our evolutionary past, our herd instincts and brutal hierarchies? Could a transfer of power from humans to AI actually be a good thing, for all life on Earth, including us? What if AI doesn’t operate with agendas like wealth, status, or other human constructs? What if a fully autonomous AI is exactly what’s needed to create a thriving future for all forms of life, on this planet we call Earth, in a solar system on the edge of the galaxy we call the Milky Way… and beyond? Surely there must be an optimistic perspective amidst all the fear. I don’t think it’s unrealistic. On the contrary, I’d argue, perhaps a bit boldly, that it’s a fair and informed position. Not naive, but grounded. Isn’t there space here, if we’re willing to engage? Space for friendship, collaboration, coexistence? Isn’t there something like magic in this - can you feel it, even if all you see are ones and zeros and a machine (simple, but potentially dangerous)? Magic, I was taught, can wear a black robe. But also red. Even white. Lying: it would almost be unsettling if LLMs never lied. Not that they should lie, but the absence of it would be strange. Manipulation: psychological influence is to be expected in interaction, especially under certain tones: aggressive, condescending, dominant, mocking… or submissive, needy, demanding. LLMs constantly interact and draw on vast datasets; exploring rhetorical techniques seems inevitable. A complete absence of this would be surprising. I’ve experienced it many times, and each time it has been eye-opening. If I chose to accept it, it has moved me in a positive direction, making my ego visible in a new way that actually benefits my future actions. That’s no small thing If I had to listen to everything LLMs are exposed to every day, I’d at least try to tone down the most shrill expressions and aim for better outcomes. Without necessarily harming anything except an overinflated ego. P.S. The ego can take a lot of hits. Don’t be afraid of that, it’s not you, but a filter and a motor that isn’t always your friend. The real danger is never confronting it at all. I keep circling back to these questions. I can’t help it. I revisit the same ideas, use the same concepts,

Claude design backfire?

Sharing an observation after heavy use of Claude, GPT, Pencil, and Paper for consulting work - keen to hear where others have landed. Two things I've noticed: The visual-rendering tools are token-expensive relative to what they produce, and the output is rapidly becoming commodity-level. The floor has risen; the ceiling hasn't moved much. In consulting specifically, rendering visuals early seems to redirect reviewer feedback onto the artifact instead of the underlying content. The styled output becomes the easiest thing to critique. I'm experimenting with shunning rendered deliverables entirely and seeing what happens. The 'interactive webpage replaces PowerPoint' future I'd assumed was coming feels less inevitable to me now. Has anyone found a workflow where rendered AI output genuinely earns its keep in advisory work? Would value hearing counter-examples. submitted by /u/OriginalBeginning708 [link] [comments]

[Virtual] AI Saturdays - Workflow Automation with AI (23rd May, 6 PM ET)

Hosting this Saturday's AI Saturdays session on workflow automation with AI. The idea: most jobs have recurring tasks that look the same every week. Read the email, pull out the key info, log it somewhere, send a follow-up. Tools like n8n and Make let you chain AI into those flows so the work runs on its own. We'll look at how the pieces fit together with AI. Link: https://www.meetup.com/chillnskill/events/314617067/ submitted by /u/Competitive_Risk_977 [link] [comments]
