ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Most people open Claude, start typing, and never touch the settings that would make it ten times more useful.
Answering questions from a few listeners, Noel walks through how to set up a Claude account properly as of August 2026. He starts with the instructions box hidden in your general settings (the single change that makes the biggest difference), then covers how the memory system now works and how to stop it getting polluted, the incognito ghost mode for chats you don't want remembered, connecting your apps through connectors and setting tool permissions so nothing gets sent without your say-so, building Skills as instruction manuals for your processes, and why plugins are the most underrated feature in Claude.
They also cover the week's news: OpenAI slashing API prices on Terra and Luna, Gemini 3.6 Flash, Anthropic's transparency review of 141,000 tests, and Noel's new instructor courses with GenAI.Works.
