Known issues & limitations

By design

Recency bias

Claude only sees the posts and replies that Threads shows on the first screen of a profile — typically the 10–25 most recent of each. A person's older history, best moments, and worst moments may all be invisible. Someone having an unusually good (or bad) week may be judged on exactly that week.

Text only

Images, videos, and link previews are invisible to the analysis. A photo-heavy account can come across as low-signal or "quiet" even if it's wonderful, and a post whose meaning depends on an attached image may be misread.

Results are cached for 12 hours

To keep things fast and cheap, a profile's card is reused for up to 12 hours. If someone's behavior changed an hour ago, the card may not reflect it — use the ↻ refresh link on the panel to force a fresh look.

It's one AI's opinion of a small sample

The verdict is Claude's frank read of a handful of recent public posts. Treat it as decision support, not a character reference. It can be wrong — in both directions.

Current limitations

Public profiles only. Private accounts can't be analyzed (the extension can only read what you could see yourself).
English only (for now). The extension has been tested only in browsers set to English, and analysis quality of non-English posts is untested.
Slow connections can time out. Reading a profile's posts takes up to ~25 seconds; on slow networks the lookup may give up and you'll need to retry.
Background tabs. Each analysis briefly opens two invisible background tabs (the profile and its replies page) to read public posts. They close automatically — but if you're a tab-strip watcher, you may catch a flicker.
Desktop Chromium only. No Firefox, Safari, Opera, Atlas, or mobile support. See the home page for the tested-browser list.

Found something else?

Testers: please report anything odd — wrong stats, stuck "fetching…" states, weird verdicts — to adam@thriendorfaux.com or a Threads DM to @ThatAdamGuy. Screenshots and the profile involved help a lot — email is the easiest way to attach one.
