Has Claude’s Output Got Worse? Here’s What You Can Control | Re-release with Rob Webster

Has Claude’s Output Got Worse? Here’s What You Can Control | Re-release with Rob Webster

Claude’s output has felt harder to work with recently. It ignores instructions, produces overlong, overwritten answers and can get worse over a long conversation. But if you want to improve your AI output, the answer might just be sitting in your Documents folder.


In this re-released episode, Jess and Kyle speak with Rob Webster, founder of TAU Marketing Solutions, about managing AI context. The tools and product names may be moving fast, but the practical problem has not changed: AI performs better when it has clear, well-managed context.


In this episode, Rob explains how to set up a few plain text files and folders so your AI knows who you are, what you do and what good looks like before you type a word. He also explains why giving your AI everything at once tends to make answers worse, how to spot when your setup has got bloated, and why the same files are the foundation for Claude Code and AI agents.
