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 chat and Claude Cowork, which means that Claude will always remember what it learned in one area, even when you’re engaging with it in another.
Anthropic is also exposing what Claude has retained in its memory, allowing users to read, edit, or delete information on any topic.

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 developed ideas for projects over time while chatting with Claude, but when it came time to actually enact the changes, you’d have to start over by telling Cowork all the details. This was incredibly frustrating. The update makes Claude now feel like one continuous assistant, rather than two separate products under one roof.
