Welcome to the first issue of the newsletter! Thank you for signing up. We will try to send these weekly, but we will only send them when we have some good snacks to deliver to you. We hope you enjoy it, and let us know if you have any feedback or if there are things you want to see here.
Prompt Helpers
Cohere has announced a prompt tuner. I am not sure if this will help you with prompts outside of Cohere, but it is free to try. Some of Cohere's products are very polished and great to work with, so I would imagine the prompt tuner will be as well.
We have a Reddit comment over on the Claude subreddit that will help you create better prompts. I have been experimenting with it this week, and it does a great job of cleaning things up for you. You can take a look [here]. What got me excited about this tweet was that it provided a simple, straightforward way to organize and set up Claude for your projects and workflows. Many of these projects can be applied broadly. I started setting up projects like this with a focus on the “areas” of my life and found it to be a huge help.
Claude Projects
This week I found this tweet about setting up Claude Projects. If you don’t know about Claude’s latest update you can watch our video here.
Not enough people are getting creative with Projects.
I've set up a few that I use all the time, each with its own custom instructions. This lets me organize my chats and easily switch Claude's response persona.
Here's what I have in the custom instructions for each one:

Flux
Flux was built by Black Forest Labs. The best way to think about Flux is as a text-to-image model that is on par with Midjourney. There are three different model sizes for Flux: Pro, Dev, and Schnell. The best way I’ve found to try out Flux is on Poe. You can use the smaller models for free, but you have to pay to try out Pro. If anyone has a good way to use Pro, let us know.
