I enjoy the level of control AI studio gives me, especially over the context. I can easily branch a conversation into new sessions from anywhere, delete any message, and explicitly turn on/off web search.

Claude used to allow editing prompts which created branches, but imo it was a much crappier version of branching versus what I could do in AI studio. Alas, Anthropic have even removed that functionality for some reason (if someone knows how to branch in Claude please lmk).

Sometimes I just want to block off all web search and sample from LLM’s knowledge only. I guess I can tell Claude to not search the web, but I prefer doing it deterministically like AI studio.

I also like that I can set a different system prompt per session, and all my system prompts get autosaved for future use.

I find it quite surprising that with all this AI, my history of sessions is still such a mess despite my efforts to keep it organized (in both AI Studio and Claude). At least Claude finally added folders, but they are still buggy (for sessions older than a few months, for example).
