Anthropic has introduced a memory import feature for its Claude artificial intelligence system. The tool enables users to transfer preferences and context from other AI providers into Claude. A single copy and paste operation updates the system's memory so that new conversations continue from prior interactions.

The process starts when users copy a provided prompt into a chat with any other AI provider. The prompt compiles relevant context into one location. The gathered information is then imported into Claude in under a minute.

Claude learns user preferences across conversations. It keeps project contexts separate to prevent information from mixing between tasks. Users can view and edit all stored memories through the system interface.

The feature is intended for people who have spent time training another AI and want to switch without losing that context. Individuals can try Claude on the free plan and import memory when ready.
