This is pretty amazing: I asked it to build a single-page app to accept and parse a PDF and give it back in a JSON structure I provided, and it did exactly that!
The parsing was terrible, but it worked at all, which is impressive. It suggested multiple next steps, one of which was to work harder on parsing, so I told it to do that. The resulting app showed a similar UI, but was non-responsive. I noticed it had output a message in small text that said "Claude’s response was limited as it hit the maximum length allowed at this time."
So I told it that it had gone over its own limits and to try again, making an effort to stay within its limits. It tried again, and this time the UI didn't even render beyond a text outline of the UI elements, and I got the same message.

So: pluses and minuses.
