Episode notes
LLMs Leave Outputs Stuck In Chats
- Large language models often fail to produce usable files, leaving valuable outputs trapped in chats.
- Claude's native file creation feature fixes that by letting users export real files directly from chat.
Sandboxed Code Powers Real File Exports
- Claude runs Python and Node.js in a sandbox to build authentic Office files.
- This isolated execution enables reliable conversion while reducing direct filesystem risk.
Enable File Creation In Claude Settings
- Enable Claude's "code execution and file creation" toggle in Settings > Capabilities to activate file export.
- Then explicitly ask Claude to "create a PDF" or "save as PowerPoint" to force a file artifact.
