Claude is Anthropic’s AI assistant, and you can chat with it on the web or your desktop. But until now, if you talked to Claude for too long, you’d suddenly hit a wall. The conversation would just stop, and you’d have to start over from scratch, losing everything you’d built up.
Now, Claude has learned a new trick. Instead of cutting you off, it quietly tidies up the earlier parts of your conversation, so you can just keep going. You can be on message 150 and still bring up something you said way back at message 12—Claude remembers, and you don’t have to repeat yourself or start again.
This changes everything for long projects. Before, you might be deep into your third research paper, only to realize you need something from the first one, way back at message 15. But you’d already hit the limit, and the thread was lost. Now, you can jump back and forth, compare, and build on your ideas without ever losing the thread. It’s like having a conversation that never forgets.
If you’re a student, you can start your calculus homework on Monday, pick it up again on Tuesday, and when you get stuck on Wednesday, you can scroll back to your earlier notes—all in the same place. If you’re writing something big, you can research, outline, draft, and edit without ever having to split your work into different chats. Everything stays together, and nothing gets lost.
And if you use Chrome, there’s more good news. Now, Max users can open up a bunch of tabs—maybe five different research papers—and ask Claude to pull out the important bits from each one. You don’t have to copy and paste anything. Claude can look at what’s in your tabs and help you pull it all together, side by side.
