Anthropic has unified its memory feature so that Claude Cowork, its cloud-based task tool, now shares the same memory as Claude's chat interface. This means details from prior conversations carry over into Cowork tasks and vice versa, reducing the need to re-explain context. Sensitive topics like health or beliefs are excluded from memory by default but can be manually enabled in settings.
Anthropic now shares a single memory system between Claude and its Cowork tool, so context from past chats carries over automatically when switching between them. Claude also updates its memory in real time without needing explicit prompts, and users get new controls to view, edit, delete or pause stored memories in Settings.
Anthropic now lets Claude share memories between its chatbot interface and Cowork, its cloud-based computer-use agent, so context from regular chats carries into automated tasks and back.
