Been using ChatGPT since the first day it came out but now I finally pulled the trigger on getting Claude Pro. Only a few days in and already impressed with the features/functionality compared to what I was using before.
That said, I feel like I'm barely scratching the surface. For those of you who've had Pro for a while:
- What's your "ultimate setup"?
- Any hidden gems or underrated features you didn't know about at first but now can't live without?
- Anything you wish you'd known on day one?
- Any settings or workflows that made things click for you?
Would love to hear how the veterans here are using it. Trying to build good habits early instead of finding out I've been sleeping on something six months from now. Thanks!
