User abandons Claude as personal assistant, citing memory and context issues

A user on Reddit's ClaudeAI subreddit expressed significant frustration with Claude's performance as a personal assistant, despite initial amazement at its creative capabilities. The user detailed extensive efforts to configure Claude through projects, including providing context, memory, instructions, and rules, only to find the AI lacked persistent memory, failed to anticipate needs, and interpreted instructions too literally.
