Have tried the new Dashboard feature in Claude?

I was tired of guessing why my usage limit ran out. So I asked Claude for a token dashboard on top of my own session stats.

It shows:

\- a score ring and traffic lights for the week

\- daily spend with trend lines

\- a split by cache reads, writes and output

\- which part of the context eats the most

The numbers come from my saved runs and session metrics collected on the desktop app.

Anyone else tracking this? What do you look at first?

Built using the new Dashboards feature still in beta. Go test it: open Artifacts menu in Claude and select the new Dasboard type. The link below contains some database types you can select. Data within a Project should be selectable as a datasource (not tested). My demo uses Claude live session data and data collected into Notion.

Almost everything visual can be changed: buttons, filters, tabs, tables, charts, colours, drilldowns. All changes are made by Claude through file edits, not by dragging in the app. (doc, unverified for in-app editing)

Data comes from a live connector query or an attached file up to 8 MB. The implementation is hybrid, uses the new Dashboards feature, skills (26) and the base is a Project with data-driven instructions and context content (20 .md files).

Some technical info is available:

Can someone tell if a GitHub R project was made using Claude?

I need to create a GitHub project using R with a large dataset. Can I do it using Claude? Would someone be able to tell if it was done by Claude?

I’m hoping I’ll be able to defend the work if I get an interview, but I urgently need a project for my portfolio and honestly don’t have enough time to build one from scratch.

Has anyone done something similar? Any advice?

I passed Anthropic's Claude Architect Foundations CCA-F on the 1st try (no coding background) & helped 20 others too

If you had no idea about the official Anthropic Certifications there are 4 now. The first one is the one I passed in August Claude Architect Foundations CCA-F.

We did this as a small community of women in AI who wanted to validate our knowledge of AI to the source and get best practices on how to work with it, especially for client implementations.

If you are into AI consulting, services, agents and education/strategy, and have no coding background, this is a huge knowledge booster in my opinion. I have been a product and project manager before but this really clarified where AI fits in business implementations.

The pod

I didn't do this alone. I led a study pod of about 20 women, most of them non-technical, through the same prep. Most of those who have taken the exam so far passed on their first try. I passed first to make sure that I can actually help them.

What the exam is

The basics:

  • 2 hours, 60 questions, proctored online
  • Closed book, and you can't use Claude during it (yes, the irony)
  • You get 4 scenarios, picked at random from 6, with 15 questions on each from the exam guide
  • 5 technical domains covered with a big emphasis on Agentic AI

The six scenarios are a customer support agent, code generation with Claude Code, a multi-agent research system, structured data extraction, developer productivity, and Claude Code in continuous integration.

What surprised me

"Foundations" is misleading. It doesn't ask for definitions. It drops you into a situation where something is broken or misbehaving and asks how you'd fix it using best practice. The official practice exam is easier than the real thing.

If you don't write code for a living, half of those scenario names sound like they're not for you. That was my first reaction too.

What worked

  • Learn the vocabulary first. Most of the difficulty was language, not logic. Once I knew what the terms meant, the questions became judgment calls I could reason through.
  • Study by scenario, not by topic. The exam is organized around situations, so I prepared that way.
  • Learn the specifics. Which files exist and where they live, what each built-in tool can and can't do, and when to use which pattern. This part is memorization plus practice, and there's no way around it.
  • Get hands-on. Non-technical doesn't mean hands-off. You don't need to be an engineer, but you do need to have used the tools. I created a Claude Code project and used it to study.
  • Know the Exam Traps They tend to be wrong in the same few ways and be repeated. Learning how to spot those patterns quickly helped me most.
  • Flag and move on. I marked the questions I wasn't sure about and came back at the end. but don't go back too much and second guess yourself - difference between passing and failing.

The biggest lesson was that explaining a scenario out loud to someone else showed us quickly what we didn't understand yet.

What I got at the end: a badge by Anthropic and a whole lot of knowledge on where AI actually fits in a business workflow and implementation best practices.

Happy to answer questions about the exam or the prep in the comments.

If you're curious

We're hosting a free one-hour webinar on Tuesday, October 20 at 5 p.m. Eastern. It covers what the certification is, who it's for, and how we prepared as non-technical people.

I built my own creative suite with Claude. Now I use it for all my client work and making games with my kids.

A few months ago I started building browser-based creative tools with Claude, mostly to see how far I could get. Since then I’ve done a lot of actual client work with them and cancelled my other software subscriptions.

I started with Opus 4.6, and there was a lot of trial and error. Getting something to work, realising it wasn’t quite what I meant, trying to explain it again. But I was already using the tools for real work, so I kept finding reasons to improve them.

With Opus 5.5, I’ve noticed a huge difference. It feels like it understands what I’m trying to build much better, even when I don’t explain it perfectly. There’s still testing and fixing involved, but I spend much less time trying to get my point across.

The project is called Suite: https://suite.briiidge.dev

It has tools for design, video editing, page layout, audio, writing and 3D. I didn’t plan all of that at the beginning. I just kept adding things I wanted to use.

The part that still feels a bit ridiculous is being halfway through a client project, needing a feature that doesn’t exist, and then just… building it. Sometimes a small addition, sometimes a whole evening figuring it out with Claude. But it’s my software, so I can change it. That’s where coding with AI has really clicked for me.

The tool I’m probably happiest with is Solids, the 3D editor. I’ve used it to build games for my kids, and that’s been so much fun.

I honestly enjoy building the tools as much as using them. Which is occasionally a problem when I’m supposed to be finishing client work and get distracted by an idea for a new feature.

I’m sharing Suite for free because I want to show what you can actually build with AI coding. I use this stuff every day for real work, and I figured letting people try it would say more than just posting screenshots. It’s built around how I work, so I’m curious how others get on with it. There’s a feedback button in the tools.

Also fun and (insane) fact: Claude made the entire video. The whole video, is just Claude using my computer, recording it and editting it in my software (Motions).

Claude design artifact

Can someone explain to me the claude design change to artifact access via chat instead of a standalone page come dec? By not having the standalone page do you lose the control to specify output up front from selecting slide, etc? Just wondering if it’s now up to the user to be better at prompting. Has anyone noticed any differences or improvement with this recent update?

A design tool for changing the UI that's already running in your iOS app

I'm building Monad Design for a specific handoff problem: when an existing app's UI is almost right, 'make this card less dense' is easy to point at but hard to describe to a coding agent.

You open the real Xcode or Expo iOS app in Simulator, navigate to the relevant state, then select or annotate the UI. Your coding agent edits the existing source and rebuilds the app. You can compare the original with working alternatives before choosing one.

This is a visual implementation tool, not a mockup generator or a replacement app builder. It currently runs locally on macOS and is free and open source.

Repo: https://github.com/Monadix-AI/monad-design Video preview: https://watchclueso.com/embed/pio8jqfcg4ivj0r1

I'm the creator. For designers working on shipped mobile apps, which part of the handoff costs you more time: identifying the exact UI state, explaining the change, or reviewing the implementation?
