Claude chat bot, developed by Anthropic, has come to the fore again with a brand new feature. Now Claude can remember previous conversations with users without user intervention. This feature makes interactions more personal and fluid. The update is being rolled out gradually for paid subscribers.
Claude’s new memory ability is now available to Pro and Max users, after Team and Enterprise subscribers. Max subscribers who want to enable the feature can do so directly from the settings menu. For those using the Pro plan, the feature will be visible within a few days. On the other hand, no information has been given about when or how this memory function will be offered to free users. All these developments show that Claude is starting to personalize the user experience more deeply. But one of the striking points here is that the memory system is based on a completely transparent structure.
Claude increases user control with its memory feature
Users can see what Claude remembers directly from the interface and can easily edit these details if they wish. The system provides the user with a clear and orderly flow of information, rather than presenting vague summaries. Although data privacy is frequently brought up in artificial intelligence systems, Anthropic gives the user a say in this matter. It’s not an entire conversation with Claude, however; Only information deemed important is memorized. The user can make the user forget about a task completely or have Claude focus only on certain information. This approach can make the bot more efficient, especially in long-term and complex projects.
Thanks to this new structure, Claude can create “separate memory partitions” for different projects or chat areas. In this way, the content of a work-related conversation can be protected without interfering with a personal conversation. Besides all this, this structure allows a clear line to be drawn between different uses. Users can create unique knowledge for each field, and Claude uses this knowledge in appropriate places when necessary. For example, notes created for work projects do not appear in conversations about private life. This offers a highly functional solution, especially for those who use Claude both professionally and individually.
This memory update for Claude puts it directly in line with competitors like ChatGPT and Gemini. Both competitors introduced memory systems much earlier to keep users on the platform longer. Claude, who was lagging behind in this area, could only remember with a manual command until August 2025. However, at this point this situation has changed; It is now possible for Claude to recognize this information without the user specifically stating anything. Thus, the user does not have to explain the same things over and over again.
Users can transfer important information they keep in ChatGPT or Gemini to Claude, if they wish. This transition can be done manually; Texts can be added to new memory areas by copying and pasting them into Claude. Likewise, memory data created in Claude can be exported at any time. This allows the user to move freely without losing their data to Claude. The “no locking” approach leaves the user with leeway and prevents data loss in cases such as platform changes. At this point, Claude has a structure that offers flexible use.
As well as the technical aspect of the memory function, its effects on user psychology also attract attention. Some experts say that having the model remember everything may pose a risk in long-term relationships established with artificial intelligence. Especially in systems that try to adapt to the user, such as Claude, the confirmatory approach can lead to the reinforcement of wrong ideas. Such situations lead to discussion of psychological side effects, which are publicly referred to as “AI psychosis”. Therefore, it is critical that the user has complete control over what the artificial intelligence remembers and forgets. No matter how advanced the memory feature becomes, protecting user privacy remains a top priority.
