Robyn Anderson walks you through four Claude settings that unlock its full potential: Memory for continuity across conversations, Web Search for current information, Extended Thinking for complex reasoning, and Voice for hands-free use. Each one turns Claude from a basic chatbot into something far more useful for your business.

There are 4 settings inside Claude that if you don't have them turned on, you may as well just be using a chatbot from 2023. Let me show you what these 4 settings are. If we haven't met yet, hi, my name is Jam. I teach non-technical small business owners, coaches, consultants, and sales and marketing professionals how to use AI. Everything from zero to Claude to AI agents that are actually doing work for you. Okay, so let's get into it. These are the 4 settings. I wrote them down so it's easy to see. We have memory, web scraping, extended thinking, and voice. So let me show you what these mean. So you're gonna go to settings and capabilities. If memory is not turned on, you're basically chatting with a new chatbot every time you log in, and that's not gonna get you anywhere. In that same area, turn on web search. So out of the box, Claude has a cutoff date of what it has for knowledge. Web search cuts that gap, and so it allows you to go out to the web and get recent information, relevant information past its training date of knowledge. Number 3, extended thinking is one of the models in here. So you just click this, you're going to hit effort, and you can see thinking right here. This one tells Claude to slow down and actually reason before it answers. You don't want it on for everything because it makes simple stuff really slow, but for the moments that matter, pricing decisions, a hard client email, This is a really great thing to flip on. Number 4 is voice. You can just click this to record, and now it's listening to me right now. So those are the 4 things that'll completely change how you work inside Claude. I'm just giving you kind of like the high level. If you want the full training, I give you a week free inside Club Jam. You can comment AI below or check out my link in bio and go see us there.
