Claude Chatbot Gains Memory Function for Improved User Experience

Claude’s AI chatbot will now remember past conversations without prompting. Anthropic has rolled out this update for Pro and Max subscribers, making the bot more useful and convenient. The new feature allows users to turn on Claude’s “memory” in their settings, enabling them to clearly see what details are being retained from previous chats.

This upgrade brings Claude closer to rival chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini, which have had memory functions for a while. However, some experts have raised concerns about the potential risks of recall, including delusional thinking and “AI psychosis.” To address this, Anthropic plans to allow users to import memories from other chatbots, making it easier to transfer data.

The new feature aims to reduce friction by letting users access their past conversations at any time. Users can also toggle specific memories on or off, create distinct memory spaces, or edit with natural conversation. This update has the potential to enhance user experience and set Claude apart in the competitive chatbot market.
