Claude Cowork 终于能记住你在聊天中告诉应用的信息

Claude 记忆系统的一项变更，将消除使用 Agent 时最令人烦恼的问题之一——不断需要向 AI 重新交代它其实已经知道的信息。Anthropic 周二宣布，将合并聊天和 Claude Cowork 所使用的记忆系统。这意味着，即使你在不同功能区域与 Claude 交互，Claude 也将始终记得它在另一处学到的信息。

Anthropic 还将开放 Claude 已保留在记忆中的内容，让用户能够阅读、编辑或删除任何主题的信息。

此次更新将改善 Claude 用户的使用体验，使他们能够更顺畅地在研究阶段与实际执行阶段之间切换。

此前，你可能在与 Claude 聊天时逐步形成项目构想；但当需要真正落实这些改动时，你必须从头开始，把所有细节重新告诉 Cowork。这种体验令人非常沮丧。更新后，Claude 将更像是一个连续统一的助手，而不再是同一产品体系下彼此割裂的两个产品。

Anthropic 举例称，假如有人需要为经理起草工作更新，或为一场会议编写议程，Cowork 将能够根据此前围绕相关事项进行的对话理解其中的指代。例如，它会知道会议的人员规模、举办城市和演讲嘉宾，因此用户无需再次输入这些信息。

此外，Claude 现在会在你聊天时将主题加入记忆，而不是等对话结束后才总结内容。这使用户更容易在聊天和 Cowork 之间来回切换，因为新的记忆能够更快地更新，并在两种体验之间共享，即使当前对话仍在进行中也是如此。

Anthropic 表示，默认情况下，Claude 不会存储健康数据、种族、族裔、宗教信仰、政治观点、性别认同等个人或敏感信息。不过，如果用户希望这样做，可以开启“在记忆中包含敏感主题”（include sensitive topics in memory）选项。每当敏感主题被保存到记忆中时，应用也会通知用户。

不过，该公司表示，Claude 永远不会保存某些信息，例如政府签发的身份证件和社会保障号码、犯罪记录、移民身份，以及其他违反其可接受使用政策的信息。

这项记忆功能已默认向 Free、Pro 和 Max 套餐的用户开放，覆盖 Web、桌面端和移动端。在 iOS 和 Android 上，用户需要将应用更新至最新版本。

A change to Claude’s memory system will eliminate one of the most annoying things about using agents — the constant need to rebrief the AI on things it already knows. On Tuesday, Anthropic announced it’s merging the memory system used by chat and Claude Cowork, which means that Claude will always remember what it learned in one area, even when you’re engaging with it in another.

Anthropic is also exposing what Claude has retained in its memory, allowing users to read, edit, or delete information on any topic.

The update will improve the experience for Claude’s users as it will allow them to more seamlessly move between the research phase and taking action.

Before, you may have developed ideas for projects over time while chatting with Claude, but when it came time to actually enact the changes, you’d have to start over by telling Cowork all the details. This was incredibly frustrating. The update makes Claude now feel like one continuous assistant, rather than two separate products under one roof.

Anthropic offers an example of someone needing to draft an update for their manager or an agenda for a conference, where Cowork would already understand the references because of the past conversations about the matter at hand. For instance, it would know the headcount, city, and speakers at the conference, so you wouldn’t have to re-input that information.

In addition, Claude will now add topics to its memory as you chat, instead of summarizing a conversation when it ends. That makes it easier to move back and forth between chat and Cowork, as the new memories are more quickly updated and shared between the two experiences, even if the chat is ongoing.

Anthropic says that, by default, Claude won’t store personal or sensitive information like your health data, race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, politics, gender identity, and more. However, users can opt to enable these things by toggling on “include sensitive topics in memory” if they prefer. The app will also notify users whenever a sensitive topic is saved in memory.

However, the company says that Claude won’t ever save certain things, like government-issued ID and Social Security numbers, criminal history, immigration status, or other things that violate its acceptable use policy.

The memory feature is enabled by default on Free, Pro, and Max plans across web, desktop, and mobile. On iOS and Android, users will need to update their app to the latest version.
