Anthropic launches Reflect dashboard to analyze how you use Claude

Anthropic on July 9, 2026 launched the Reflect feature in beta — a built-in dashboard for Claude that displays AI usage patterns and helps users develop a more conscious approach to working with it.

What Does the Reflect Dashboard Show?

The dashboard is available in the Claude settings section on the website and in the desktop application. Once activated, the feature generates a personal report based on chat history for the selected period — 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.

The report shows: when you access Claude most often, what topics your work focuses on, and what types of tasks you solve with AI. Session time tracking will be added soon. Beyond statistics, the dashboard periodically asks thoughtful questions — for example: "What do you want to keep doing yourself, even if Claude could do it faster?" — and offers to discuss your answer with the AI right away.

• Launch date: July 9, 2026, beta version
• Available to: Free, Pro, and Max users with memory enabled
• Analysis periods: 1, 3, 6, or 12 months
• Data coverage: key topics, activity times, task types
• Exclusions: incognito chats and chats related to health integrations

How Reflect Helps Develop Skills

In addition to analytics, the dashboard includes a built-in training framework 4D AI Fluency that helps users develop AI skills across four dimensions.

• Delegation — conscious choice of tasks to hand off to AI
• Description — ability to describe a task precisely to get useful results
• Discernment — critical evaluation of the quality and applicability of AI responses
• Diligence — personal responsibility for how and why AI is used

The report shows how these qualities manifest in real work. For example, Reflect can note that you often rewrite draft emails in your own style, or that you first formulate the strategy yourself — and then delegate the details to Claude. The dashboard also provides practical advice: for instance, it suggests creating a Project so you don't have to explain task context from scratch in each new chat.

Quiet Hours, Pauses, and Privacy

In the dashboard, you can set quiet hours — periods when Claude should not distract you — and pause reminders after a certain amount of continuous work time. Both tools are advisory in nature: any notification can be dismissed with a single click.

Anthropicpaid special attention to privacy. The dashboard does not pull source files from connected tools — if you asked Claude to summarize your emails, Reflect will only include the summary, not the actual emails. Incognito chats and conversations related to health integrations are completely excluded from analysis. Data from Reflect is not used for any other purpose.

"In developing this, we collaborated with digital well-being experts from the AHA MIT

Media Lab program, the Digital Health Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, and the Family Online Safety Institute," reports the Anthropic team.

What This Means

Anthropicconsistently promotes a narrative of responsible AI — Reflect is another step in that direction. Rather than simply maximizing engagement, the company offers a tool for self-assessment: do you see Claude as a helper or a crutch? The feature is currently in beta mode; support for Cowork chats will come later.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I start using Reflect?

Open Settings in Claude on the website or in the desktop application and select the option "Reflect on your usage". If the report is not generating, check that the memory function is enabled in your account settings.

Do personal correspondence and health data go into Reflect?

No: chats in incognito mode and conversations related to health integrations are completely excluded from analysis. Personal topics may appear only at a high level — specific messages are not included in the report.
