## What's New Your AI coach just received a significant upgrade. We've transitioned from GPT-4 to the latest Claude Sonnet model from Anthropic (4.5), bringing you a more thoughtful, nuanced coaching experience that better supports your productivity journey. **Released:** Tuesday, November 25, 2025 ### Deeper Reasoning for Better Insights Claude brings "extended thinking" to your coaching conversations. This means when you ask complex questions about your goals, priorities, or how to approach a challenging project, the AI can now think through the problem more thoroughly before responding. The result? More thoughtful insights that consider the full context of your situation rather than quick, surface-level answers. Whether you're planning your week, reflecting on your progress, or working through a decision, you'll notice responses that feel more considered and helpful. ### More Natural Conversations Claude's conversational style feels more natural and human. When you're chatting with your AI coach—whether through text or voice—the responses flow more smoothly and feel less robotic. This makes it easier to have genuine, productive conversations about your goals and challenges. ### Visual Feedback During Thinking You'll now see when the AI is "thinking" before it responds. A subtle indicator shows you that your coach is considering your question, making the experience feel more responsive and transparent. No more wondering if something is happening—you'll always know the AI is working on your request. ### Your Privacy Remains Protected We know your goals, reflections, and conversations with your AI coach are deeply personal. That's why privacy was a key consideration in this transition. Your data remains private and secure: - **No AI training on your data:** We use Anthropic's API under commercial terms. Your chats and coaching conversations are never used to train their AI models. - **Encrypted in transit and at rest:** All conversations are protected with encryption during transmission and while stored. - **Restricted access:** Only essential personnel who must administer the system have access to user data—your chats are private to you. This is the same privacy-first approach we've always taken. The upgrade to Claude doesn't change our commitment to keeping your personal reflections and goals confidential. ## How This Helps You Level Up These improvements work together to make your AI coaching more valuable. When you're in the middle of a busy day and need quick guidance on what to focus on next, or when you're doing your weekly planning and want help prioritizing, your AI coach can now provide more thoughtful support. The deeper reasoning is particularly helpful for complex decisions—like figuring out which project deserves your attention, or how to balance competing priorities. Instead of generic advice, you get insights that consider your specific situation and goals. This upgrade is part of our ongoing commitment to making MakeTimeFlow the most effective tool for helping you achieve deep success and live a flourishing life.
