  "summary": "Many users of AI tools, including Claude, are frustrated with usage limits. One user found that by stopping the practice of giving Claude their entire project, they were able to make their Claude usage last four times longer.\n\nThe user notes that people's usage habits and tasks for AI tools vary greatly. However, Claude has introduced a new experience for Claude projects, now available in beta for Claude Code. This update allows users to describe a task and have Claude manage the work, including scoping the request, delegating tasks, and assembling the final result.\n\nAccording to Techmeme, this updated project feature is currently available in beta to select Claude Pro and Max subscribers who use cloud sessions in Claude Code. Access will be expanded to more users on these plans over the coming week, and then to all Claude Team and Enterprise plans.",
