View original source

Anthropic announced a major update to Claude's memory system aimed at merging its capabilities across different platforms, notably Claude chat and Claude Cowork. This change promises to eliminate the frustrating need to consistently rebrief the AI, as it will now retain what it has learned across different interactions.

  • Integration: The memory systems of Claude chat and Claude Cowork are now unified, ensuring that information learned in one application is available in the other.
  • User Control: Users can view, edit, or delete retained information, providing them control over Claude's memory.
  • Improved Functionality: The update addresses previous limitations by allowing seamless transition between the research and execution phases, thereby enhancing the user experience.
  • New Feature Details: Claude adds topics to its memory dynamically as users chat, improving the fluidity between chat and Cowork.
  • Privacy Considerations: By default, personal or sensitive information is not stored, although users can choose to enable this functionality. Some sensitive data, like government IDs, are never stored.
  • Update Requirements: The feature is available across various devices, and app updates are required for use on iOS and Android devices.
