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.

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.
