Claude

The app now remembers what you've talked about before, so you don't have to repeat yourself when starting a new task.

Claude has connected the memory from its regular chat with its tool-using side, called Cowork. Before, you might have had a long chat planning a project, but would have to explain everything all over again to get Claude to actually do something. Now, it remembers the context seamlessly, making it much less frustrating to use. A change to Claude’s memory system will eliminate one of the most annoying things about using agents — the constant need to rebrief the AI on things it already knows. On Tuesday, Anthropic announced it’s merging the memory system used by… | The update will improve the experience for Claude’s users as it will allow them to more seamlessly move between the research phase and taking action. | Before, you may have… A change to Claude’s memory system will eliminate one of the most annoying things about using agents — the constant need to rebrief the AI on things it already knows.
