Claude vs Claude Code vs the Chrome Extension - with Anita Mac [Ep 264]

I love that.

And that's just your personality too, which I really appreciate.

It really helps me out as well.

Okay.

So if anyone is listening to this and let's say they've got Claude, but again, they're just surface level, just playing with it.

Let's tell them a little bit about like the different parts of Claude that they need to understand.

And then we can kind of go into like what they do with each part.

Yeah, amazing.

So for most people, you will only use Claude.ai, the regular Claude chat.

And that is so fine.

But there's one really clear, I guess, differentiation that I want to explain with Claude.ai, and that is using projects.

Now, inside your regular clawed screen, whether you're on the downloaded app version, whether you're just in the website itself, projects are essentially like, imagine them like their own island.

Any information that you put inside that project will not leach out, but it also nothing else will leach in.

So any regular conversations that you have in your Claude, if you open it up and you just hit new chat every time, they can get quite overlapping of training your memory in Claude if you don't break them out into their own individual pieces of information.

And that's why we use Projects.

So my business branding, for example, sits inside its own project so that if I'm ever looking, doing market research, if I'm looking at what somebody else is doing, if I'm taking inspiration from my own learning, my own thoughts, none of that is going to interfere with my brand because it's locked up inside this project.

Same with my email marketing or my social media marketing.

They have a project, which basically means I can train that project.

You can upload text files into it.

You can feed it PDFs.

You can give it documents that help train your project.

but it stays within that space.

And then if you go one step further, which is what I've recently been taking Kylie down the rabbit hole of, there's Claude Code, which is a different version, I guess a different interface.

They're all Claude in the background, but they do different things.

And Claude Code's main focus... is it talks to the files on your computer in live time.
