Anthropic Makes Claude’s Memory Free and Introduces Import Tool for Data From Rival AIs

The workflow targets AI switchers by letting Claude ingest an exported list of stored memories from services like ChatGPT or Gemini.

Overview

  • Anthropic enabled memory for free-plan users and launched an import feature designed to carry over saved context from other chatbots.
  • The import process uses a prewritten prompt that users paste into a rival AI to list stored memories, which are then copied into Claude’s settings.
  • Reporters found the prompt can surface both routine and sensitive details, though it may miss items that some platforms reveal through their own tools.
  • Users can review, edit, delete, or disable Claude’s stored memories through settings, with the company emphasizing user control and portability.
  • Anthropic reported momentum for Claude, citing a #1 U.S. App Store ranking and sharply rising user counts, while Downdetector logged a roughly three-hour outage on March 2.
