So I’ve been using Claude for about three months. Maintaining quite large prompt files uploaded to each new chat, and asking the model to give me its preferred recent context from the end of the last chat, seems to have worked remarkably well.
Today Anthropic switched on ‘memory’ for my account and I’ve been experimenting. The ‘starter’ memory it had already created was pretty good, actually. I’ve tried the edit tool, and also (didn’t work for me!) asking the model explicitly to remember a random fact - in the next chat, it didn’t know the fact.
So I asked the model, “How do I do this?” Claude tells me, it can add up to 30 edits of 200 characters to the memory, which I think (yet to prove) are accessible ‘live’ from then, and also (???) fold into the permanent memory overni…

(And Claude will also add what it thinks is key from your current chat, all by itself, overnight).
Would love to hear others experience of this and if I’m on the right lines or have read this completely wrong!
