What You Asked Claude to Do

Find my missing scheduled tasks

What Claude Actually Did

Told me that scheduled tasks don't live in the cloud and are only done locally. Claude even admitted this sets up a weird user expectation that everything carries over from browser to app and through your account, when that is clearly not the case

Expected Behavior

Saved my scheduled task and remembered it
