Anthropic upgrades Claude’s memory to attract AI switchers
Anthropic has expanded Claude's memory feature to free users and added a tool to import data from rival AI chatbots.Summary
Anthropic is making it easier for users to switch to its Claude AI by extending the memory feature to those on the free plan. Previously limited to paid subscribers, the memory function, which allows Claude to retain context and history from previous interactions, can now be enabled in the settings. Furthermore, Anthropic introduced a new dedicated tool for importing data from other chatbots, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT or Google's Gemini, allowing users to avoid starting over in teaching Claude their established context. This upgrade comes as Claude gains popularity, bolstered by recent model releases like Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, which improve coding and complex task completion. The company has also recently garnered attention for publicly resisting Pentagon demands to relax safety guardrails on its AI models.
