Claude's memory now extends beyond the chat window to include Cowork, a workplace tool. This change was announced by Anthropic on August 25, allowing information learned in one experience to be carried into the other. Users can now manage Claude's memory, with options to pause, erase, or limit what the AI retains. However, users cannot separate memory in Chat from its use in Cowork.
By default, memory is enabled for Free, Pro, and Max users, and it saves individual memory topics throughout conversations. Users can control what topics are saved and can delete or edit individual memories. Sensitive topics like health, race, or politics are off by default and require user consent to be saved. While Claude's memory is persistent and can surface information in later tasks, users should review both memory and Search settings to manage how much historical context Claude can access.
