What happened
Anthropic has introduced a shared memory feature for Claude that works across both its chat interface and the Cowork product.
This means users no longer need to repeatedly provide the AI with project details, preferences, or other contextual information in each new session.
The update aims to streamline workflows by allowing Claude to retain and apply context from previous interactions.
Why it matters
This change reduces friction in AI-assisted work, as users can now expect continuity without re-stating background information.
It signals a broader trend toward persistent, context-aware AI assistants that adapt to individual user needs over time.
For professionals using Cowork, this could significantly cut down on setup time and improve efficiency in collaborative tasks.
