You know that awkward moment when you hop back into a chatbot after a break and think… “Uh… what were we doing again?”
Yeah. Claude’s officially done with that.
Now, you can literally ask, “Hey, what were we working on before my vacation?” — and Claude will dig through your old chats, pull the receipts, summarize the project, and let you pick up right where you left off.
Works everywhere — web, desktop, mobile — and keeps projects neatly separated (so your work brainstorm doesn’t spill into your side hustle chaos).
Plus it's rolling out now for Max, Team, and Enterprise users. Just head to Settings → Search and reference chats and flip it on.
BUT… this isn't a full-blown “I remember everything you’ve ever told me” memory like ChatGPT’s persistent mode. Claude only recalls stuff when you ask, and Anthropic swears it won’t quietly build a user profile of you in the background.
Why this matters:
This is the latest play in the never-ending OpenAI vs. Anthropic feature flex-off.
Plus… Memory = user stickiness. And user stickiness means you’re less likely to wander off to the competition.
Of course, AI memory features aren’t all sunshine — some folks love them for productivity, others think they’re creeping into “overly attached bestie” territory.
Overall, this isn’t just about remembering chats — it’s about making AI stickier, more personal, and harder to quit.
And in the AI feature wars, whoever nails this (without being creepy or weird) wins
Here’s a video breakdown on how to use it
