When to Use Extended Thinking
Avoid enabling Extended Thinking for every task. Use it only for complex problems or when you need high-level creativity (harder problems), as this process takes longer to generate a response.
The Importance of Memory Context
Claude's outputs will be significantly more accurate if you have enabled the 'Memory' feature at the account level. This provides the AI with context about your business without requiring you to re-enter the same information every time.
Input vs. Output Quality
If you use a prompt that asks for 'traditional marketing', the AI will likely provide basic results. Always refine your prompt to ask for something unique to fully leverage the power of Extended Thinking.
