Set it up once. Stop getting generic answers forever.
“It was never broken. It just didn’t know you yet.”

Your Claude is just a stranger.
Here’s what happens to almost everyone. You hear Claude is the tool. You open it. You ask it something real. And it hands back a paragraph so flat you could have written it half-asleep. So you decide the problem is you. You’re “not a tech person.” You close the tab.
Let me stop you there. The problem was never you, and it was never the tool. The problem is that you never set it up. Out of the box, Claude is a stranger. It doesn’t know your work, your voice, or how you want things done.
Setting it up is how you fix that. Not with code. Not with settings buried six menus deep. You put five things in place, once, and Claude works better every single time after that.
This is the difference between people who say Claude is overhyped and people who say they can’t work without it. The second group set it up. That’s the only difference.
Each one takes a few minutes. You do them once. Then Claude works better every time after that.
