Anthropic Tries to Win Users From ChatGPT With Memory Feature

Anthropic PBC’s artificial intelligence chatbot Claude will be able to recall context across conversations for free users, as the company seeks to hang on to new consumers who have created “unprecedented demand” the past few days.

The memory feature, which had been available to paid subscribers, was offered to Claude users beginning Monday, Anthropic said. The tool is one that rival OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, already provides to those on its free plan. Anthropic is also making it easier for new subscribers to import to Claude prior histories from other AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, with a simple copy-and-paste technique.
