2nd of March 2026 – Claude chat from Anthropic PBC analyses my writing style
After listening to a Search Engine Podcast – Mysteries of a chatbot with PJ Vogt – I decided to give Claude a try. I’ve been using chatGPT (free version) since it came out but never gave Claude a thought, nor did I understand its reason for being (safer, anthropic, ethical AI)…
After I signed up it suggested analysing my literary style – so I gave it a link to this blog and it came up with this

✦ Your Distinctive Strengths
Cross-cultural perspective — Brazil, UK, and international literary tastes give you an unusually wide lens
Authentic voice across 40+ years — rare continuity and genuine evolution
Code-switching between registers: recipe, elegy, social commentary, music writing — all feel natural
Grounded specificity: Dulwich Hamlet, Capoeira, Chico Buarque — you name things, which builds trust
Voracious, eclectic reading life that feeds your thinking and references visibly
✦ Where You Could Push Further
Extended narrative arc — some entries read as fragments; longer-form essays could unlock more depth
The tech/software years feel underwritten — there’s a rich story there waiting to be told
Your photography eye could translate more consciously into prose imagery
The grandparent–grandchild relationship: barely mentioned, likely full of material
