Summary
Section titled “Summary”The video demonstrates how Claude’s desktop app can use a pinned “master chat” to review other conversations, identify questions that need attention, and start new chats for separate tasks. It covers organizing chats, scheduling checks, using projects and side chats, and creating documents, slides, and dashboards. The presenter also shares limitations and cautions, including checking important facts against official sources and keeping private files out of projects. In the test, the work used the presenter’s weekly usage from 51% to 52%.
Key points
Section titled “Key points”- A pinned master chat can review other chats and report what needs a response, with links to the relevant conversations.
- By default, the master chat checks the 20 most recent chats; the presenter says it reviewed 32 transcripts in the test.
- The master chat can open separate chats for parts of a project and maintain a checklist of their progress.
- Chats can be organized into sections, and chats started by the master chat stay grouped with it.
- Scheduled tasks can run regular read-only checks, but the app must be open; the presenter reports that a task scheduled for 8:00 a.m. ran around 8:12.
- Projects run on Anthropic’s computers and can continue after the laptop is closed, while master chats run on the user’s computer and can access local files.
- Side chats let users ask questions without interrupting work in the main chat; split view can show two chats side by side.
- Claude can create documents and slides, and can make dashboards, though the dashboard question box did not answer in the presenter’s test.
- The presenter recommends verifying important prices and dates, checking official sources, and adding a rule not to archive or delete chats when asking Claude to organize them.
- The tested work changed weekly usage from 51% to 52%.

Full transcript (original language)
Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 You open Claude in the morning and there are 25 chats in the sidebar. Somewhere in there, one of them asked you a question yesterday. It’s been waiting ever since and you have no idea which one. So, you click and click, rereading old answers, trying to remember where you left off. Half an hour later, you still haven’t started anything new. Here’s the fix. Claude can now run your other chats for you. One pinned chat checks the rest, tells
00:31 you exactly what’s waiting on you, and even starts new chats on its own. I tested it on a real job, planning a family trip to Japan, across 25 chats. I’ll show you what it found, the one thing it can’t do by itself, and how I fixed that, too. Plus, how much of my weekly limit all of it used. That number surprised me. 10 updates, plus one bonus at the end, in about 14 minutes, and you won’t write a single line of code.
01:02 Open the desktop app for Claude and look at the top. There are only two tabs now, chat and code, because last month code work was folded into chat. Every update in this video lives in the code tab. Don’t let the name put you off. You type plain English, the same way you text a friend. You won’t see a single black terminal window in this video. Number one, the master chat. In the new app, one chat can see your other chats. So, pick one, pin it to the top of the sidebar, and tell it, “You’re my master
01:35 chat.” That’s the whole setup. Then, ask it one question, “What’s waiting on me?” I set up a normal messy morning first, five chats, a dinner plan, a passport checklist, a note to my neighbor, and two that ended with a question for me. The hotel chat wanted to know if I’d pay more to stay near the train station. The visa chat needed my passport expiry date. The master chat read all five and it came back with exactly two. The hotel question and the passport date. Each one with a
02:06 link that jumps straight to that chat. It even told me the other three were done. And that the neighbor note still had blanks to fill in before I send it. But five chats is easy. Here’s the catch most people miss. By default, it only looks at your 20 most recent chats. So, what happens when the important one is chat number 21? I piled on 20 more quick questions about the trip until there were 25 chats. Then I opened a brand new master chat. One that had never seen any of them and asked the same question.
02:39 It read 32 transcripts, more than the default, and it still found both questions. Then it did something I didn’t ask for. It flagged two answers that quoted train prices from memory and told me to check those before I buy anything. That’s the part that sold me. It’s not just finding chats, it’s checking them and the cost. Before I started, my usage screen said 51% of my week. After all 25 chats and three master checks, it still said 51%.
03:11 The weekly number didn’t move. Quick pause. Every prompt and setting in this video is in a free playbook. The best way to use it is to hand the PDF straight to Claude and say, “Set this up for me.” Comment the word captain and my bot will send it to you. Before the next update, here are the master prompts I’d actually use because the trip was just one example. Moving house? I’m moving on this date. Open separate chats for the checklist, the utility switchovers, the packing plan, and the change of address list. Tell me
03:44 each morning what’s waiting on me. A busy work week? Here are my five priorities. Give each one its own chat. Draft what you can. And every afternoon tell me which ones need me. A small business? I run a bakery. Open separate chats for this week’s social posts, the supplier order, and replies to customer emails. And never send anything without asking me. And the one I use most. End of the day, give me a one-line status for every chat you started today.
04:16 And list what’s still waiting on me tomorrow. All five are in the free playbook. Number two. Chats that report back. I asked the master chat to plan the whole trip and split the work up. It opened four new chats on its own. One for the day-by-day plan, one for the budget, one for the packing list, and one for passports and visas. They sit right under the master chat in the sidebar. And the master keeps a live checklist of all four. A few minutes later, three were done.
04:48 And the fourth showed a little orange label. Needs your input. Now, here’s what makes this different from the old helpers. Claude used to send off in the background. These are real chats. So, I click the link, and the question was waiting as a simple card with options. Are all four passports valid past November? Is everyone traveling on a US passport? Two clicks. It went to the official sources, wrote a checklist with dates, and then, without me asking, the master chat posted an
05:20 update. All four trip chats are finished. No visas needed. And one honest note. The government website blocked it with a bot check. So, it says I should check that page myself. Number three. Sections. Click the three dots next to any chat, choose move to section, and give it a name. Think of them as folders. Or the lazy way. I I the master chat, “Sort my chats into two sections, trip plan and quick questions.” And it did it without me clicking anything. One small thing to
05:54 note, chats the master started stay grouped with it, so they move together. Now, remember the one thing it can’t do by itself. The master chat only checks when you ask. It isn’t watching in the background, which means you still have to remember to ask. Number four fixes that. Schedule tasks. I typed one sentence into the master chat, “Set this up as a scheduled task. Every weekday at 8:00 a.m., check my Japan trip chats and tell me what’s waiting on me.” It built the task on its
06:27 own. It only reads, it never answers anything for you, and it told me the fine print up front. The app has to be open at 8:00, and it actually runs a few minutes later, around 8:12. Then it offered to run a test. I said yes. It checked 31 chats and handed me a clean list of exactly what was still waiting. So, now the morning check happens before I even sit down. Number five, projects. A project is like a master chat, but it runs on
06:58 Anthropic’s computers instead of yours, so it keeps working after you close your laptop. A master chat runs on your own computer, so it can use your files, but it stops when your computer sleeps. The rule of thumb is simple. If the job needs your files, use a master chat. If it’s a big job you want running while you’re away, use a project. Just know that anything you put in a project lives on Anthropic’s servers, so keep private files out of it. Projects are still in beta, so look for them in the sidebar.
07:30 Number six, side chats. Say, Claude is in the middle of a long job, and you want to ask, “Wait, which one should I answer first?” If you ask in the main chat, you interrupt the work. Instead, press command and semicolon on a Mac or control and semicolon on Windows or type {slash} BTW. A side chat opens next to the main one. It can read everything the main chat has done. I asked it which waiting chat to answer first and it said the passport because the renewal takes weeks and could block the whole trip and the main chat didn’t
08:04 get any longer. Number seven, split view. Right-click any chat in the sidebar, choose open in, then split view or just drag the chat into the window. Now both are on screen side by side. You can squeeze in a lot more but start with two. Past that, your own head runs out of room before Claude does. Number eight, take it with you. Every chat has a remote control switch in the panel on the right. Turn it on
08:34 and that chat can be picked up from Claude on your phone or the web. And one setting makes long jobs painless. In settings, under system, turn on keep computer awake so your computer doesn’t doze off halfway through a job. Closing the laptop lid still puts it to sleep though. For that, use a project. Number nine, documents and slides without leaving the app. I asked the itinerary chat to turn the plan into a one-page document for the
09:05 family and a five-slide version for the family group chat. It did both and the slides can be downloaded as a PDF or PowerPoint. Then I tested something harder. I said, “Swap day six for something easier. The kids will be tired after the bullet train.” It changed only that day but then it told me something I hadn’t noticed. That swap had dropped a temple visit from the whole trip and the slides still showed the old day six. Update the deck to match? One click and slide four was
09:36 fixed. That’s the moment it stopped feeling like a chatbot. It caught the side effect of my own change. Number 10, dashboards. I asked the budget chat for one I could share as a link. It shows the whole trip at three price levels and flights alone are 44% of the mid-range total. There’s also a new setting under capabilities called AI-powered artifacts. With it on, I asked Claude to add a question box so my family could type things like how much is left for
10:07 food. It added the box. But in my test, it wouldn’t answer inside the app or even on the website. So, for now, treat this one as early. And the bonus, two tiny commands that save the most time. Type {slash} recap and Claude gives you one line on where a chat is up to. Perfect for the chat you abandoned last Tuesday. And {slash} rewind is an undo button for the whole conversation. I asked Claude to rewrite the Kyoto weather like a
10:37 pirate. It did. Then I typed {slash} rewind, picked the message before it, and the pirate was gone. And if you change your mind, there’s undo rewind. Now, fair is fair. Here’s what didn’t work. The master chat only checks when you ask, unless you schedule it. The passport chat couldn’t open the government website and it told me so. The dashboard question box didn’t answer in my test. And chats the master starts are tied to it, so they can’t be moved on their own.
11:09 And the cost of all of it? 25 chats, four trip chats, a document, slides, a dashboard, and a scheduled task. My week went from 51% to 52. Three mistakes to avoid from my own testing. One, asking questions in the main chat while it’s working. Open a side chat instead, so So, don’t interrupt the job. Two, trusting prices and dates from memory. My master chat flagged two answers that did exactly that. Always ask it to check
11:41 the official source and check the important ones yourself. Three, letting it tidy up without rules. When you ask it to sort your chats, add one line. Don’t archive or delete anything. My master chat followed that to the letter. So, here’s your 60-second setup step by step. Open the desktop app for Claude and click the code tab. Pick a folder for the project, even an empty one on your desktop. Start a new chat and pin it to the top. Paste one line, you’re my master chat, keep an eye on my other chats and tell
12:14 me when one needs me. Then add the morning check with one more sentence. And if your jobs run long, turn on keep computer awake under system. That’s it. Every line is in the free playbook. So, which ones should you turn on today? If you have more than three chats going, pin a master chat. If you open Claude every morning, add the morning check. And if you share plans with family or a team, try documents and dashboards. Everything else, you can pick up as you go. Now, I’m curious. Which number are you turning on first?
