AI chatbots assist us in almost everything, and some people use them so extensively that they become virtual assistants. According to reports by ‘Exploding Topics’ (a trend analysis platform), about 800 million people use chatbots each week. When using AI so widely, one thing every user wouldn’t appreciate is retyping the entire prompt. Bad Wi-Fi or an accidental reload (which often happens) can force users to retype it. Now, if you are a Claude user, you won’t have that problem anymore. Anthropic (the company behind Claude AI chatbot) has added a new “memory” feature to the tool. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest feature on Claude.
Why Claude Added The New “Memory Feature?”
If you have ever used Claude before, you’ll remember that the tool required you to either retype the entire prompt or copy and paste it. The tool wasn’t equipped to recall previous conversations. To address this issue, Anthropic introduced a new feature called “Memory Feature.” The feature was announced and made live on Monday (August 11). So, you can swiftly pick up from where you left off.
Notably, Anthropic has followed OpenAI. In April, it introduced a similar feature, now setting a new benchmark for other AIs.
How The New “Memory Feature” Works On Claude?
Anthropic also added a YouTube video to show how the new feature works. It goes something like:
- Let’s say you were working on a story, doing research, or making dinner plans; you can always come back and ask Claude, “What were we working on before I quit the app?”
- Claude will then look into your previous conversations, give you a summary of the topics you worked on, and ask if you want to proceed from there.
- It saves you time from repeating everything.
More Features Added To Claude
If you use Claude for coding, good news: Claude has introduced a new security tool. What does it do?
- From now on, Claude will automatically check your code for security issues in real-time. It detects injection attacks (when attackers insert malicious code) and unsafe data handling methods.
- The chatbot will warn you in advance and suggest fixes as you work. Additionally, an “always-on” mode will be added so Claude continuously monitors risks and suggests fixes immediately.
A Few More Things…
Interestingly, Claude’s new memory feature isn’t always on yet. Whereas OpenAI’s ChatGPT can recall old chats automatically. Unless the user prompts the tool to remember, it won’t.
Anthropic spokesperson Ryan Donegan enunciated and said that Claude isn’t collecting personal information in the background. Doing so as effectively as OpenAI would be difficult.
