ImprovedOfficial source checked01Memory across Chat and Cowork
Claude can now carry memory between chat and Cowork. You can see remembered items as editable Topics, delete what is no longer useful and choose whether sensitive topics are included.
What it could do
Keep a project’s working preferences available when moving from a discussion in Chat to a longer task in Cowork, while retaining control over what is remembered.
Get started
- Open Settings, then Memory, to review Topics
- Edit or delete information that is stale or not useful
- Decide whether to include sensitive topics and use your organisation’s guidance for work information
Try this
“Before starting this task, tell me what you remember that may be relevant. Ask me to confirm or correct anything that could affect the outcome.”
Availability: On by default for Free, Pro and Max; off by default for Team and Enterprise organisations. Check your settings and organisation policy.
NewOfficial source checked02Claude Cowork on web and mobile
Cowork is rolling out beyond desktop, with remote sessions that can continue when your laptop is closed and can run scheduled tasks without a device online.
What it could do
Ask Claude to prepare a first pass at a weekly project summary, then review the result from another device later.
Get started
- Open Claude and choose Cowork where available
- Describe the outcome and add the relevant files or context
- Review the work and any actions before using the result
Try this
“Review these project notes and prepare a concise status update. Flag any missing information rather than guessing.”
Availability: Beta rollout began with Max, with more plans to follow
ImprovedOfficial source checked03More controllable memory
Claude memory now uses individual, categorized entries that it reads and updates during conversations, replacing the previous daily memory summary.
What it could do
Keep ongoing preferences and project context available without relying on one long running summary.
Get started
- Turn memory on if it is available to your plan
- Use chat search and memory settings to inspect what Claude is using
- Correct or remove information that is no longer useful
Availability: Availability and controls vary by plan and workspace
ImprovedOfficial source checked04Write actions for Microsoft 365
The Microsoft 365 connector can now draft, send and organize email, manage calendar events and create or update files in OneDrive and SharePoint.
What it could do
Turn approved meeting actions into a drafted follow-up and a SharePoint update, while keeping Teams read-only.
Get started
- Ask your Microsoft Entra administrator to consent to the updated permissions
- Ensure an organization admin enables the write tools
- Start with a small, reviewable action such as a draft email
Availability: Requires organization setup; Teams remains read-only
NewOfficial source checked05Claude Tag for Slack
Team and Enterprise users can tag Claude in Slack conversations and delegate tasks while they continue with other work.
What it could do
Ask Claude to turn a busy project thread into decisions, owners and an agreed next-step list.
Get started
- Confirm your organization has Claude Tag enabled
- Tag Claude in the relevant Slack conversation
- Give a clear output request and review the result in context
Try this
“Summarise this thread into decisions, owners, deadlines and open questions. Do not infer commitments that are not stated.”
Availability: Beta for Team and Enterprise plans in Slack
